_connection may be nullptr here.

That seems a little round-about. 😅

(A theoretical concern:) If the new connection is already started, this will re-start it. Either, we should replace if (replacing) with if (_connection.State() != Started), or make sure that all implementations of Start() are robust against calling it multiple times. I think the former is better. If you did that, you can replace the other if (replacing) above with a simpler if (_connection) as well... I think. 🤔

This isn't our job here - I know that we Start() it later because we want to maintain consistency (so that the first output gets written to the right place), but if I detach a connection and hold a reference to it i would expect it to keep running.
The dtor can handle it for us if TC was holding the last reference.

actually, maybe we should move all Start() lifecycle ownership up into the component that GIVES us a connection.
Do we have a race on Initialized() vs Connection Start?

A different take on #14548.
ASK the app to restart its connection. This is a much more sensible approach, than leaving the ConnectionInfo in the core and having the core do the restart itself. That's mental.
Cleanup from #14060
Closes #14327
Obsoletes #14548
