Description
Proposal
Clicking 'restart file' may have an effect between rebuilding just a few dependencies that were recently changed, and rebuilding all of mathlib. It would be a UX improvement to display this information. See also #693 which would interact with this.
-
User Experience: Clarify how heavy the restart action would be.
-
Beneficiaries: All users of large projects.
-
Maintainability: Likely requires additional code paths.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the proposal and the linked Zulip discussion about Lake UX problems, then compare the interaction with issue #693. No files, entry points, or tests are named, so the first step is to locate the restart-file action in the VS Code extension. Done means the button communicates how many files would be rebuilt without disrupting the existing restart behavior.
