Bug Description

Description

The white screen issue (https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch/issues/5716) has been temporarily mitigated by automatically refreshing (or something like that) the app when the white screen appears. While this brings the UI back, it results in the loss of existing response data, requiring the API call to be made again.

Steps to Reproduce

Use the application normally.
Encounter the white screen issue.
The app automatically refreshes.
UI becomes visible again, but previous response data is lost.

Expected Behavior

The UI should recover from the white screen without losing the response data.
Existing response data should be preserved.

Actual Behavior

The app auto-refreshes or something like this when the white screen appears.
All response data is lost, and API calls must be re-triggered.

Impact

Causes unnecessary API calls.
Results in poor user experience due to data loss.

Deployment Type

Hoppscotch Cloud

Version

25.12.1
