Description

I would love a button to kick out all instances of dead workers, who connected and disconnect. With all my rigs, and fiddling around the list becomes very long, very quickly. It would be nice to be able to clean it up without having to shut it down and restart it.

My other wish, would be to be able to reset the stats (accepted, rejected. stale, found etc...) for one or more workers. Perhaps hitting 'R' follwed by a number (worker ID) or "R" followed by "A" to reset em all.

Just my 2 cents, i am sure you have bigger fish to fry right now.

Thanks for all the good work.

Research direction
Investigate how the Grin server manages worker connections and displays the worker list. Look at the UI code (likely in the grin miner or grin server component) to understand how to add a prune button and reset stats command. Consider using existing worker IDs to implement the proposed 'R' key shortcuts. Examine any existing cleanup or stat reset logic that could be extended.
