## Summary Follow-up to KevinLaveto's #58213 (closed due to no response). Adds two ways to restart a broken external ACP agent connection from the Agent Panel, without restarting Zed: 1. A retry button in the toolbar, shown when the active thread's agent is in `LoadError` state. 2. A "Reload Agent" entry in the panel options menu, available whenever an agent thread is active. Both call `ConversationView::retry_connection`, which drops the cached connection entry (via `AgentConnectionStore::restart_connection`) so the next request spawns a fresh server process, then rebuilds the thread state. This covers both launch failures and agents that died after connecting. Closes the scenarios in #52102, #55501, #60213, #61386 and zed-industries/zed#62668. ## Showcase https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/51b5b588-187d-45fb-a35c-b7d625644b30 Release Notes: - Added the ability to reload a broken external agent connection from the Agent Panel without restarting Zed. --------- Co-authored-by: Bennet Bo Fenner <bennetbo@gmx.de>
