+## Restarting
+
+Two things go stale under a running wall: the garage daemon itself (after
+a `npm` upgrade) and the `claude` binary inside every session (after
+Anthropic ships a release — Claude Code shows "update available", but a
+running session keeps the old process until it's restarted).
+
+```bash
+claude-garage restart
+```
+
+Restarts the daemon only. Sessions are untouched; the TUI and web wall
+reconnect on their own through the existing SSE reconnect.
+
+```bash
+claude-garage restart --sessions
+```
+
+Restarts the daemon, then respawns every idle/done session in place —
+`tmux respawn-pane -k` running `claude --resume <id>` in the same tmux
+session, so the tile, its title and the conversation all survive. Sessions
+that are `working` or `needs-input` are skipped and listed rather than
+losing an in-flight turn; `--all` restarts those too.
+
+**In the TUI:** `r r` restarts the focused session (press twice — the
+first press warns if it's busy), `r a` restarts every idle/done session
+in the focused workspace, `r d` restarts the daemon. `?` lists all three.
+
+**In the web wall:** the `↻` in a cell's hover controls restarts that
+session, with the same two-click confirmation.
+
+Upgrading the garage package itself is still `npx claude-garage@latest tui`.
