Octoprint Restart failure after updating it EVERY TIME

What is the problem?

Consistent Restart failure after Octoprint Update in MacOS

What did you already try to solve it?

Unable to determine steps to resolve on my own. Cannot understand why Octoprint ALWAYS has refused to restart after an update. This has been the case since the very beginning.

Have you tried running in safe mode?

Yes.

Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

No.

Additional information about your setup

Octoprint v. 1.11.3
MacOS Sequoia 15.6.1 (24G90)
Browser: Safari 18.6 (20621.3.11.11.3)
Python 3.11.6

Was my initial setup flawed somehow? Am I missing some crucial step? Shouldn’t Octoprint restart without issue after an update? It NEVER has, not even once. I always have to kill the Terminal process and then restart it manually. Can someone PLEASE tell me if I’m doing something wrong?? Drives me nuts!

I get this result after every update:

What do you have configured in settings under server for the restart command? Typically this would only happen if the command is wrong or a plugin is somehow blocking the restart process. Looking at your octoprint.log, I would try disabling octopod to start since it seems to be having lots of issues.
