Dev Environment Recovery After Disconnects

Recovery is not reconnect. Real recovery resumes the same session and replays missed output.

Recovery is not reconnect. Recovery means you return to the same session, see what happened while you were away, and continue without re-running work.

Why reconnect alone fails

  • it attaches to a new session,
  • it hides the output you missed,
  • it forces a restart anyway.

The recovery model that works

  • stable session identity,
  • output replay for offline gaps,
  • resume-first flow.
