When that check fails, the command refuses up front and shows this message:\n\n- \"\/restart isn't available in this environment.\"\n\nPreviously, `\/restart` had no refusal of this kind.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf `\/restart` stops with that message, the command cannot be used where you are running Claude Code. It is not a fault in your session (one continuous conversation with Claude Code). Starting Claude Code again yourself is the way to restart in that case.\n\n- Area: Slash Commands\n- Names: `\/restart`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: yes"}
