Reloading application page breaks Helios commits

From a similar issue on amber - which was requested that I report it here instead.

It appears that reloading the application causes the IDE's commit process to break.

Here are the steps I've taken, I'm curious to see if anyone else can replicate it:

Create a new amber project w/ amber init
Load localhost:4000 in the browser
Click 'Helios IDE' to launch the IDE
Add a method to project class. Save & commit (works)
Reload localhost:4000 in the browser. Keep the IDE window open, no refresh
Add a method, save. Commit fails w/ the message above
If I close the IDE and launch it again, it works.

So it appears as though in order to test a change in the browser, I need to reload EVERYTHING - reload the app, close the IDE and launch it again. Is that what people are doing? That's a pretty bad workflow in my opinion - why do I need to completely close my development environment whenever I want to run the code I just wrote? It makes me wonder if this happens for everyone… I would guess not, because I can't imagine so many people being okay with that workflow.

I'm happy to provide more information as needed. For now I'm happy with the legacy IDE - it's not flashy, but at least I don't lose code / context every time I want to make a change.
