Description
π dmypy start
Daemon has started
π dmypy kill
Daemon killed
π dmypy start
Daemon has died
π dmypy start
Daemon is still alive
I think this is intentional, but misleading in my opinion. When running dmypy start and seeing "Daemon has died", leads me to believe that the daemon has died while attempting to start, not that it has died previously.

Research direction
Start at the dmypy command handling for dmypy start, focusing on the branch that reports the daemon's prior state. Compare the messages shown after dmypy kill and repeated dmypy start calls, then update the misleading wording and add or adjust coverage for this sequence so the resulting status is unambiguous.
