Hiding a sketch in a linked component breaks my model

I'm designing a timber frame shed in Fusion 360. I have modeled my pegs (https://a360.co/2QeTvbI) as external components. When I hide the peg sketch, and click the "get latest" triangle, it breaks a lot of references. I have tried re-showing the sketch, and it didn't fix things. I undid the "get latest" command and saved my model (version 113, http://a360.co/2pvU6Jn), so if you click "get latest," you should be able to see all of the things that get broken when the model re-computes.
I have a few ideas for what the problem may be:
1. I created the first bent (a sub-assembly of a timber frame structure) component, then mirrored it to make bents 2 and 3. The default names were bent 1 (mirror) and bent 1 (mirror)(mirror), so I renamed them bent 2 and bent 3. When I clicked "get latest," the bent 2 and bent 3 components reverted back to their original names. Why did this happen? Could this be the cause of the broken associations? Is there a way to make renaming a component a timeline event?
2. When I made joints between pegs and other components, I may have been clicking on the sketch rather than the body, and maybe when I hid the sketch, it broke those joints?
Thanks,
Dan
