Right now we have to manually call router.refresh() after signing in to clear cached authenticated redirects and rewrites, but this causes re-renders and re-fetches of data which we don't want. We simply want to clear the local router cache. Please support this feature.

You can see how it's a bit of a pain to have to do this

onSessionChange={() => {
                // Clear router cache (protected routes)
                router.refresh()
            }}
Even if the auth state changes, such as a role promotion, you have to call refresh to clear cached redirects. We really need a clear function that does not refresh.
It should take like 2 seconds to add this in the next stable release.
