I think it happens when you deploy a new version of your app but someone somewhere didn't refresh their browser and is still using the older version

I believe I may have resolved the issue. For those having the exact same issue follow these steps to resolve:

Chrome/Edge
1. Open DevTools (F12)
2. Right-click the refresh button
3. Choose "Empty Cache and Hard Reload"
Or:
1. Go to Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data
2. Select "Cached images and files"
3. Set time range to "All time"
4. Click "Clear data"

Firefox
1. Open DevTools (F12)
2. Right-click the refresh button
3. Choose "Empty Cache and Hard Reload"
Or:
1. Ctrl+Shift+Delete
2. Check "Cache"
3. Click "Clear Now"

Safari
1. Safari → Settings → Advanced
2. Check "Show Develop menu in menu bar"
3. Develop → Empty Caches

Quick method (all browsers)
Hard refresh: Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+R (Mac)
Or use an incognito/private window

Alternative
Add a cache-busting query parameter to the URL:
http://localhost:3000?cache=bust
