rodney reload --hard uses CDP Page.reload with ignoreCache flag, equivalent to Shift+Refresh. rodney clear-cache wipes the browser cache via CDP Network.clearBrowserCache. https://claude.ai/code/session_01RXfbzr3A15ySqEJsiuYyAS
Python stdlib HTTP server that serves responses with Cache-Control headers, plus a Showboat README demonstrating reload --hard and clear-cache against it. https://claude.ai/code/session_01RXfbzr3A15ySqEJsiuYyAS
The previous demo used `reload` to show "cached" behavior, but location.reload() sends conditional requests in headless Chrome even with a long max-age — so the values always changed, failing to show the cache working. Restructured the demo to use navigate-away-and-back instead, which does respect the disk cache. The sequence now clearly shows: 1. Initial load (values set) 2. Navigate away and back → same values (cache hit) 3. reload --hard → new values (cache bypass) 4. clear-cache + navigate → new values (cache empty) Also added a note explaining why `rodney reload` doesn't serve from cache (headless Chrome revalidates on location.reload()). https://claude.ai/code/session_01RXfbzr3A15ySqEJsiuYyAS
