Local files not updating v2

Configuration

HomeAssistant does not appear to recognize that an existing image has been replaced or deleted. (In config/www)

I generate a number of graphs in appdaemon (using pandas) as png files, which are stored in homeassistant/config/www.
They are then shown both inside static html pages, accessed within an iframe on the left hand menu

panel_iframe:
  web:
    title: "reports"
    url: http://192.168.1.10:8123/local/menu.html
    require_admin: true
    icon: mdi:apps

as well as directly within a picture card:

type: picture
image: /local/rainfall.png
tap_action:
  action: url
  url_path: http://192.168.1.10:8123/local/rainfall.png

even accessing it directly from the browser:
http://192.168.1.10:8123/local/rainfall.html, the html page shows the updated html page with new content but not the embedded image:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Rainfall</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h2>Rainfall</h2>
    <a href="rainfall.png">
      <img src="rainfall.png" style="max-height:50%; max-width:50%">
    </a><br>

    <table>
      <tbody>
        <tr>
...

Apparently a different problem to # Local files not updating, for which the OP found a workaround that worked OK for them. using a camera entity doesn’t fix the underlying issue.

restarting HA, clearing the cache are not ‘solutions’, the fact a file has changed doesn’t seem to be picked up by Lovelace?

Any suggestions as to what may cause this and how to fix it (or does it need a fix in core?)

I am having the same issue with it not updating. I have a local .html stored and using it as a changelog on one of my dashboards.

If i make a change to the .html I can’t get HA to update the file on dashboard.
