Research direction
Start by reviewing issue #10151 and reproducing cinnamon --replace & after several suspend/resume cycles on Mint 22 with Cinnamon 6.2.9 and Intel UHD Graphics 620. Trace the restart path to identify why the UI remains frozen for 2–4 minutes; done means restart completes within the reported 10–20 second maximum without regressing normal behavior.
