## Message

```
debugger: Fix restart only working once per session (#51247)

`Session::restart_task` is set to `Some` when a restart is initiated but
never cleared back to `None`. The guard at the top of `restart()` checks
`self.restart_task.is_some()` and returns early, so only the first
restart attempt succeeds.

This primarily affects debug adapters that advertise
`supportsRestartRequest` dynamically via a `CapabilitiesEvent` after
launch, such as the Flutter debug adapter.
