# Julia Reset
Kill the Julia worker process and spawn a fresh one (hard reset).
## What This Does
This is a **hard reset** that:
- Kills the worker process entirely
- Spawns a fresh Julia worker
- Clears all variables, functions, and loaded packages
- **Enables type/struct redefinitions** (necessary in Julia < 1.12)
- Re-activates the previously activated project
- Reloads Revise.jl if available
## Instructions
1. If the user provides a session name argument, pass it as the `session` parameter
2. Call the `reset` MCP tool
3. Report the old and new worker IDs to the user
4. Remind the user that packages need to be reloaded with `using`
## When to Use
- You need to redefine a struct layout (Julia < 1.12)
- The session is in a bad/corrupted state
- You want a completely clean slate
- Code is stuck/hanging (infinite loop, long computation)
## When NOT to Use
- For function/method changes: use `revise(action="revise")` instead — it preserves session state
- For package issues: try `pkg(action="resolve")` first
