[BUG] docker compose up --watch with sync+restart does not show logs after restart #11773

Description

When running docker compose up --watch, the logs for the service appear in the output.

When specifying sync+restart as the action on a file change, when a file is changed, the container restarts, but there are no more logs outputted. When running docker compose logs, you can see the app was restarted correctly and is still logging.

This behaviour does not happen when using rebuild as the action (although the logs aren't picked up straight away so the first logs are potentially missed).

Expected behaviour is that when using sync+restart, when a file is changed, the logs from the container continue to be shown in the output of docker compose up --watch.

Steps To Reproduce

Dockerfile:

FROM node:slim
COPY src src

Contents of src can be anything.

Docker Compose:

services:
  app:
    build: .
    command: >-
      bash -ceuo pipefail "
        echo restart
        i=0
        while true; do echo boop $$i && ((i++)) && sleep 1; done
      "
    stop_signal: SIGKILL
    develop:
      watch:
        - action: sync+restart
          path: ./src
          target: /src

Running docker compose up --watch, then saving a file in src outputs:

When running docker compose logs, it shows all the logs correctly.

If you change sync+restart to rebuild in the docker-compose file, and run docker compose up --watch, and save a file, it now prints (most of) the logs correctly:

➜ docker compose up --watch

app-1   | boop 2

Note that in the output, it misses the first few logs.

Doing a docker compose logs only shows the logs for the latest container.
