Failed to request restart (${res.status})

Error message

Failed to request restart (${res.status})

What it means

The UI's POST to /api/health/dev-server/restart returned a non-OK status. Same pattern as health get: server error payload if present, otherwise this status-bearing fallback message surfaced to the operator.
