Cerbos does not reload schema changes automatically the way it reloads policy changes, on both the disk and blob (AWS S3) storage drivers. Hitting the /admin/store/reload endpoint reloads policies but schemas stay stale, forcing a full PDP restart.

This was a bug in the store reload path, fixed in Cerbos v0.42.0, upgrade and /admin/store/reload reloads schemas too. If you run a lambda or automation that calls the admin reload endpoint on updates, no config change is needed beyond the upgrade.
