Have an existing tool in a multi worker environment that is properly set up with Redis
Update the tool code
Run a chat query - it works
But: Refresh a few times or try from a different device/browser to hopefully get routed to a different worker: The old code gets executed and not the new one we updated in step 2
Only a full service restart updates the tool code across all workers
