restore

Repair missing generated files without buying new generations. It prefers validated local content-addressed cache bytes and otherwise reuses provider references. It never replaces a destination whose bytes disagree with the lock unless --force says to: restore --force puts the recorded bytes back over a file that was changed after download (an orphaned plan entry), discarding that change. Copy it aside, or declare it with edit, first.

--generation brings a replaced generation back instead. 1 is the most recently replaced (see history); a prefix of one of its output hashes also works. The current generation moves into the asset's history and the chosen one becomes current again, so its object id, hashes, prompt, and cost are the record. Its bytes are written back from the local content cache, or re-downloaded from its durable provider reference when the cache no longer has them. Nothing is generated and nothing upstream changes, so a restore can be undone the same way. The file being replaced holds the outgoing generation's own bytes, so --force is only needed if it was changed by hand since. One asset at a time.
