Feature request: built-in restart command

Summary

Add a /restart command (or equivalent) that restarts the Claude Code application without requiring the user to manually close the app window and then quit the system tray process.

Current behaviour

To fully restart Claude Code (e.g. after modifying a plugin, updating an MCP server, or changing settings that require a reload), users must:

1. Close the Claude Code app window
2. Find and quit the system tray icon separately
3. Relaunch the app

This is a multi-step, manual process with no in-app shortcut.

Desired behaviour

A single command or menu action — e.g. /restart in the input box, or a Restart option in the system tray menu — that terminates and relaunches the full process in one step.

Use case

Particularly useful after:

• Installing or updating a plugin (the MCP server needs to be re-initialised)
• Modifying .mcp.json or settings.json
• Any workflow where the user is iterating on Claude Code configuration

Platform

Windows 11 (system tray present); likely relevant on macOS menu bar as well.
