Try restarting: {live-server} stop && {live}

Error message

Try restarting: {live-server} stop && {live}

What it means

This is the remediation hint line printed by handle_poll_error immediately after the authentication-failure message (error 135). It interpolates the correct script commands (`live-server stop` and `live`) for the user's shell and platform.

Solutions

1. Copy and run the exact interpolated command shown: `<live-server> stop && <live>`.
2. If the interpolated script name is wrong for your package manager, run the equivalent via your package runner (e.g. `bun run impeccable:live-server stop`).

// The hint is informational; treat exit code 1 + this line as a signal to run the restart command
if (exitCode === 1 && stderr.includes('Try restarting')) {
  await exec(stderr.match(/Try restarting: (.+)\n/)[1]);
}

When it happens

Trigger: Always printed together with PollError::Auth in handle_poll_error; never thrown independently.

Common situations: Same as the authentication failure: stale token after server restart; user needs platform-correct command syntax (npm/pnpm/bun script forms).
