Share New Research 
If I use the local installation of Lean (using Lean CLI), my notebook doesn't have access to my code “Libraries” like I have using in the algorithm lab online.
If I use the online notebook, it uses a cached (prior) version of my codebase and nothing I do seems to update it. For example I commented out a line in one of my classes, ran the notebook and decided to uncomment it after getting an error. Now, no matter how many times I disconnect the kernel, or close/reopen the project/notebook, it always uses the commented out version of my class - even though browsing the file directly shows it's no longer commented.

Hi Jake,
I can't help you with your online notebook issues, but I can tell you that the CLI supports libraries a little differently than the cloud. The idea at the time of implementing that in the CLI was that the cloud would eventually support libraries the same way as the CLI does now, but those cloud changes haven't been implemented yet.

Hi Jake,
“Following that article, I created a temporary library just to see if there were any differences between a fresh template and my existing projects - and there were.”
Those changes you listed are only needed to improve debugging across library projects (not for backtest/research/live) and are automatically applied to all projects created or downloaded by the CLI since version 1.0.19 (released 2021-06-30). The easiest way to apply them to projects downloaded before then (if they are synced with the cloud, which sounds like is the case here) is to remove their local directories and pull them again. Nonetheless, backtests/research/live trading/autocomplete/debugging will still work without those changes.
“That of course means there's now an unresolvable difference between my local installation and the algorithm lab.”
That's true, at least for now.
