Don't kill or restart running services without David's explicit go-ahead. When he says "leave it" or "just note tasks", stop touching processes and do what he asked.

**Why:** David manages long-running processes across sessions. Killing a process to "improve" it risks losing ingestion progress or orphaning dependent processes. The cost of an unwanted restart (lost work, stale jobs) is higher than the cost of leaving a suboptimal setup running.

**How to apply:** When David is ending a session, note the state, don't try to fix it. Propose improvements at the start of the next session when there's time to verify.
