 - `force_cancel()` action in `StreamActions` for recipients (once contract support is merged)
 
 ### Fixed
+- `refreshStreamData` now invalidates active queries once instead of immediately refetching the same queries a second time
 - `scValToU64`/`scValToI128` and `streamsBySender`/`streamsByRecipient` now boundary-check the RPC
   response shape instead of trusting it blindly; the streams list surfaces load failures inline
   instead of silently logging to console
