Description
[Bug] Revert Button Does Nothing — Only Works After Closing and Reopening VSCode
Clicking the Revert button has no effect — nothing happens. The only way to get Revert to work is to close VSCode entirely, reopen it, and click Revert again, at which point it finally executes.
Expected Behavior
- Clicking Revert should immediately execute and restore the selected checkpoint
- No restart of VSCode should ever be required for Revert to function correctly
Actual Behavior
- Clicking Revert produces no visible result ❌
- The action silently fails with no error message shown ❌
- Revert only works after fully closing and reopening VSCode, then clicking it again ❌
Impact
- High — Revert is unusable in its normal flow, forcing users to restart the entire editor just to undo changes — a disruptive and unreliable workaround for a core safety feature
