Typing in the chat input is no longer blocked while the /restart command respawns the server.


Running /restart froze the chat input until the server finished respawning. _handle_restart_command awaited the multi-second _restart_server_manual (server_proc.restart()) directly on the Textual message pump, so key events stopped being forwarded and the chat input was "blocked". This is the same class of bug fixed for the MCP viewer Ctrl+R reconnect path in #4753 — the fix runs the respawn as a detached asyncio.create_task (mirroring the MCP viewer/force-reconnect paths), keeping the pump free so keystrokes stay live and queued messages drain once ServerReady fires.

`_handle_restart_command` awaited the multi-second `_restart_server_manual`
(`server_proc.restart()`) directly on the Textual message pump, so key
events stopped being forwarded and the chat input froze until the restart
finished. Run the respawn as a detached `asyncio.create_task` (mirroring
the MCP viewer/force-reconnect paths) so the pump stays free and typing
lands while the restart is in-flight.

[0.1.43](deepagents-code==0.1.42...deepagents-code==0.1.43)
(2026-07-17)

### Features

- Added classifier-backed Auto approval mode behind
`DEEPAGENTS_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL=1`
([#4804](#4804)).
- Added a shutdown toast for deferred exits
([#4830](#4830)).
- Task descriptions that were truncated can now be expanded by clicking
or pressing `Ctrl+O`
([#4811](#4811)).
- Debug Console clears with `Ctrl+L` now persist after reopening
([#4812](#4812)).
- Added debug logging for skill-name override collisions
([#4772](#4772)).

### Bug Fixes

- Keep chat input responsive during `/restart`
([#4808](#4808)).
- Fixed paste placeholders disappearing when backspacing a newline below
them ([#4757](#4757)).
- Made markdown `AppMessage` output selectable
([#4814](#4814)).
- Fixed live tool-group counts to include only running tools
([#4809](#4809)).
- Kept `task` timers monotonic across nested subagent human-in-the-loop
flows ([#4771](#4771)).
- Preserved goal criteria proposals when marker clearing fails
([#4785](#4785)).
- Reduced repeated probing of an unreachable Ollama daemon to once per
reload
([#4806](#4806)).
- Quieted MCP auth-skip debug logging for known patterns
([#4805](#4805)).
- Improved `/version` diagnostics for editable installs and core
dependency reporting, including surfacing `langchain-quickjs`
([#4816](#4816),
[#4813](#4813)).
- Removed the `uv install` tip from the `/version` update hint
([#4822](#4822)).

Running `/restart` froze the chat input until the server finished
respawning. `_handle_restart_command` awaited the multi-second
`_restart_server_manual` (`server_proc.restart()`) directly on the
Textual message pump, so key events stopped being forwarded and the chat
input was "blocked". This is the same class of bug fixed for the MCP
viewer `Ctrl+R` reconnect path in langchain-ai#4753 — the fix runs the respawn as a
detached `asyncio.create_task` (mirroring the MCP viewer/force-reconnect
paths), keeping the pump free so keystrokes stay live and queued
messages drain once `ServerReady` fires.
