restartWebAppimplemented Restart by chainingappService.StopthenappService.Start. This left the app Stopped whenever Start failed (transient ARM 5xx, throttling, network), and incurred a full deallocate/reallocate cold-start window rather than a worker recycle.Changes
src/commands/restartWebApp.ts: replaced the Stop → Start command chaining with a direct native restart againstWebSiteManagementClient, wrapped in the samerunWithTemporaryDescription+ output-channel logging pattern asstartWebApp.ts/stopWebApp.ts.webApps.restartSlotwhenslotNameis present, otherwisewebApps.restart.Note: the issue's suggested
client.restart()on theSiteClientwrapper doesn't exist — that wrapper only exposesstop()/start()— so this uses the raw ARM client viacreateWebSiteClient, matching existing usage elsewhere in the extension.
