+### Added
+- Manual refresh button that triggers a full backend refresh (store index + provider data).

+- Cache-busting for store index requests to always fetch the latest store.yaml.
+
+### Improved
+- Logging for store index loading and parsing.
+- Refresh behavior now deterministic and verifiable via logs.
+
+### Fixed
+- Refresh button previously only reloaded cached data.
+- Store index was not always reloaded immediately on user action.
