A command that forcibly restarts a rolling-context proxy, a service that manages request context across sessions. It waits briefly for active requests before replacing the running version.

Use it after a plugin update or similar change that requires the proxy to reload. It also prints the latest proxy log lines for inspection.

It lets a deferred plugin or proxy update take effect when the normal startup process postponed it because another session was busy.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00027	$0.00205
Opus 5	$0.00014	$0.00102
Sonnet 5	$0.00005	$0.00041
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00020

Security

Grade B, and why

restart scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

What it actually says

Run this command and show the user the log lines it prints, verbatim. Add no commentary beyond one short line if something looks wrong.

The start hook never downgrades a running proxy and never replaces one that has requests in flight from other sessions — it defers such upgrades. This forces the restart: it still waits up to ~6 seconds for in-flight requests to finish, then replaces whatever is serving with this plugin's version.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

restart is a command published in the GitHub repository NodeNestor/claude-rolling-context (31 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 205 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-04.
