Add two public functions for re-rendering mounted instances: - vui-rerender: Re-render an instance preserving component state and memos. Useful for forcing a redraw without changing data. - vui-update: Update instance props, invalidate all memos recursively, and re-render. Useful when new data arrives and computed values need to refresh while preserving UI state (like collapsed sections). The distinction: - vui-rerender = "redraw with current state" (memos preserved) - vui-update = "new data arrived, refresh everything" (memos cleared) This enables applications like vulpea-ui to refresh sidebar content on idle/save while preserving user interactions (collapsed sections).

Summary
vui-rerender- Re-render an instance preserving component state and memosvui-update- Update instance props, invalidate all memos, and re-renderMotivation
Applications like vulpea-ui need to refresh content (e.g., sidebar stats on idle/save) while preserving user interactions (like collapsed sections). Previously the only option was
vui-mountwhich creates a fresh instance tree, losing all state.API
The distinction:
vui-rerender= "redraw with current state" (memos preserved)vui-update= "new data arrived, refresh everything" (memos cleared)Both return the instance for chaining.
Closes #35
