Research direction
Start by reproducing the docker-build task flow with an Express app: run the Dockerfile build twice immediately, then choose "Restart Task". Trace the task termination and restart entry point in the VS Code Containers extension and check existing logging around the failure. Done means restart succeeds or displays a warning with a useful log message.
