Description

When a user resets an activity the activity should be restarted.

  • They may have passed --reset-heartbeats in which case heartbeat details should be cleared
  • If they didn't pass it, they may nonetheless want the code to start from the beginning of the method (perhaps they've deployed a code fix which improves efficiency or fixes a memory leak, or have non-deterministic code that has randomly gotten into a bad state.)
    The server will inform the SDK that heartbeats were reset so that it can throw an error in the user's Activity.
