Description

In our app, when the auth token that we pass to the sync payload refreshes, it causes everything to rerender since the LiveStore Provider is re-rendering. I'd love to have a way to update the syncPayload so that it can reconnect without forcing a re-render of its children.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the LiveStoreProvider component to understand how it currently handles prop changes; consider using React.memo or separating the connection logic into a separate context to prevent re rendering of children when the syncPayload updates.
