Workspace Restart and Enhanced Port Forwarding

Daytona v0.35.0 significantly enhances workspace management with the introduction of the daytona restart workspace command. This feature allows developers to quickly refresh their workspace environment without manual stop and start operations, simplifying the development process.

A major improvement in this release is the change to port forwarding behavior. When using daytona forward inside a workspace, ports are now publicly accessible by default. This change not only simplifies the sharing of development servers but also resolves previous issues that sometimes caused forwarding to fail.

User experience sees substantial improvements with the addition of visual feedback through spinners during repository URL validation and when Tailscale operations take longer than usual. The automatic installation of the Remote SSH extension in Visual Studio Code further enhances the seamless integration with popular development tools.

This release also includes important security enhancements, such as always marking the project directory as safe in Git, and updates to key components like Headscale and FRP for improved performance and security.
