Excerpt

Preserving State Across Reloads: keep edits inside HotSwan tier 1

Compose HotSwan applies every hot reload through three escalating tiers. Tier 1 (targeted recomposition) preserves the most: scroll position, navigation back stack, remember and rememberSaveable values, ViewModel state, lazy layout items, dialog and bottom sheet state. Tier 2 (composition reset) disposes and recreates compositions, dropping per-composable remember. Tier 3 (Activity.recreate()) restarts the Activity and only state held by ViewModel or SavedInstanceState survives.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
