If you're using Neovim version 0.11.2 or higher, this explains the LspRestart issue you're experiencing.

Root Cause

The LspRestart command comes from nvim-lspconfig. In Neovim ≥ 0.11.2, nvim-lspconfig uses this implementation for the LspStop command:

api.nvim_create_user_command('LspStop', function(info)
 local clients = info.fargs
 if #clients == 0 then
   clients = vim
     .iter(vim.lsp.get_clients({ bufnr = vim.api.nvim_get_current_buf() }))
     :map(function(client)
       return client.name
     end)
     :totable()
 end
 for _, name in ipairs(clients) do
   if vim.lsp.config[name] == nil then
     vim.notify(("Invalid server name '%s'"):format(name))
   else
     vim.lsp.enable(name, false)
   end
 end
end, {
 desc = 'Disable and stop the given client',
 nargs = '?',
 complete = complete_client,
})

The Problem

typescript-tools uses the deprecated lspconfig.servername.setup() method, which means it's not registered in vim.lsp.config. When the new LspStop command checks vim.lsp.config[name], it returns nil for typescript-tools, causing the command to fail.

Temporary Solution

Downgrading Neovim to a version below 0.11.2 should resolve this issue temporarily, as it will use the older lspconfig implementation that doesn't rely on vim.lsp.config.

Long-term Solution

The typescript-tools plugin needs to be updated to use the newer Neovim LSP configuration methods instead of the deprecated lspconfig.servername.setup() approach. However, this means that neovim version requirement for this plugin will be bumped to 0.11
