Description

after changing some imports you have to be sure to do a rm -rf tmp/cache. It would be great if we could figure out how to fix this. Not sure how you would unless we perhaps did a hash of the config/initializers/hyperstack.rb file, and then used that hash to somehow invalidate the cache.

Meanwhile until there is a real fix, the installer generator should leave a bit fat comment in the file explaining that if you edit this file you should do a rm -rf tmp/cache

Like any documentation (install and todo tutorial for example) that mentions the initializer, should in bold explain that you need to do the rm -rf tmp/cache trick

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to invalidate the cache based on a hash of the config/initializers/hyperstack.rb file, perhaps by using a hash of the file's contents to generate a cache key or by implementing file watchers. Also consider adding documentation to warn about clearing cache after modifying imports.
