Nuke Shella State

Kill all shella processes and optionally clear state. This is destructive - only run when explicitly requested.

Steps

  1. Confirm with user before proceeding. This will:

    • Kill all processes on ports 47100-47200
    • Optionally delete registry.json (layout and instance state)
  2. Kill processes on shella ports:

    lsof -i :47100-47200 -P -n -t 2>/dev/null | xargs -r kill -9
    
  3. Kill any remaining shella-related node processes (if needed):

    pkill -f "shella" 2>/dev/null || true
    
  4. Optionally clear state (ask user first):

    rm -f ~/.local/state/shella/registry.json
    rm -f ~/.local/state/shella/dev.log
    
  5. Verify clean:

    lsof -i :47100-47200 -P -n 2>/dev/null | grep LISTEN
    

    Should return nothing.

After Nuking

Tell the user to restart with:

npm run dt dev daemon

Or for full stack:

npm run dt dev all
