I have a version of context standalone installed, and I am trying to add
some functionality I need to strc-ref.lua. As a simple test to see if
modifying the file was working, I enabled the
‘structures.referencing.identifying’ tracker and verified that I was
getting messages from this tracker in the log. I then modified the log
statement in strc-ref.lua and processed the document again. The changes
I made to the lua file did not seem to be active. I verified that there
is only one log statement that matches the output I am seeing. Why would
my lua code change not be active? Is the lua code cached somehow? (I am
running this from windows if that matters).

The code I modified is under the path:

context\tex\texmf-context\tex\context\base\ strc-ref.lua

if you patch files that way you need to remake the format file

I don't know what you patch, but changing something in a core file is no guarantee for the future. It's not a problem to add functionality (lots of hooks for that) but best do that in a local module that gets loaded at runtime then.
