Rewind safely
/rewind restarts the chain from its starting state, or from the original snapshot, and /rewind confirm is the confirmed form. Anything you created on the chain since the start is gone afterwards, so rewind only when you are happy to lose it.
Read-only while the agent runs
While the agent is running, these commands still work:status, session, usage, diff, chain, account, tx, program and error. Others wait or refuse.
If the chain is not healthy
Run/chain. If health fails and OMS detects a crash, it restarts Surfpool from the latest checkpoint. Otherwise, run npx @barestate/oms doctor and check the Surfpool line. See The local chain.
