   By any chance were you using the chat for long sessions when this happened? there is a potential fix: #153 can you test it out to see if it fixes your issue?

   This is not an issue with a specific vscode plugin. A more pragmatic approach is to provide a recovery mechanism. You can try [costrict GitHub](https://github.com/zgsm-ai/costrict?utm_source=chatgpt.com). It has recently been improved to allow users to rebuild the VS Code WebView UI without restarting VS Code, so tasks can continue without interruption.
