…n list The CLI already kicks off a background restart for these sessions when listing them, so suggesting a manual command is pointless. Refs #312 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01AEszDHmhkTf8EhhXg2H8NV
…d sessions Sessions created with `mcpc connect --auto-restart` no longer fail until an explicit `restart` when the server rejects their MCP session id: the stored session id is discarded and the session is restarted automatically with a fresh MCP session — on next use, or in the background whenever sessions are probed (e.g. `mcpc` or `mcpc grep`), the same way crashed bridges already reconnect. Previous server-side session state is lost on such a restart. Also fixes a related race: a server-side network failure (e.g. an expired session) reported by the bridge over IPC no longer makes the CLI restart the healthy bridge, which could overwrite the session's `expired`/`unauthorized` status with `active` and hide the real state.
