# Restart Onprem Backend

`POST /api/ui/onprem/restart`

Bounce the on-prem moorcheh stack so it re-reads ``~/.moorcheh/config.json``.

``moorcheh down`` + ``moorcheh up`` (with embedding flags recovered from
state.json / config.json). Waits up to ~6 minutes total (5min for
``up``, 60s for ``/health``).

A module-level async lock prevents concurrent restart requests from
interleaving ``down``/``up`` calls against the same Moorcheh stack,
which can leave the backend in an inconsistent state.

## Response `200`
