stealthy-require

stealthy-require v1.1.1 is a Node.js library that bypasses the require cache to load fresh module instances. It works by clearing the cache, executing a callback where you require the module, then restoring the cache. Key differentiators: it handles nested dependencies (deep cache bypass), supports exceptions for specific submodules, and provides a workaround for Browserify. However, it cannot re-require native modules, and only bypasses the cache synchronously. The library is stable but sees infrequent updates (last release 2016-2017).
