Recover Buffer-Compile Files

Restores any file left holding unsaved-buffer content after a Compile Buffer (unsaved) run was interrupted (for example by a crash). Reach for it, or let the IDE run it automatically, so no unit is left holding overlaid content instead of its saved original.

Running it from the CLI

The feature map lists this action's CliVerb as "(none - in-process)", but this IDE action actually runs the ghost-recover verb. It prints no usage banner: running it bare exits 0 and prints ghost-recover: nothing pending. when there is nothing to recover. The plugin invokes it as:

drag-lint ghost-recover "<project>"

Reaching it in the IDE

drag-lint > Recover Buffer-Compile Files

What it needs

The feature map marks this row's Index column "n/a". It needs the project path so it can look for pending recovery state for that project.

Example

Illustrative only:

drag-lint ghost-recover "C:\Projects\MyApp\MyApp.dproj"

This would check for any file left overlaid by an interrupted Compile Buffer (unsaved) run and restore it to its saved original.
