 Two safety gates protect the restart. The host checks that no conversation is busy, and the detached
 helper checks the same gate over loopback immediately before it kills the process, so a turn that
 starts in between is never killed.

+## Pre-restart backup and automatic rollback
+
+A restart is only safe if the host comes back. Before every restart the plugin snapshots the profile
+it was started from, so a restart that leaves the host unable to boot can be undone automatically.
+
+- **What is backed up:** `cordis.patch.yml`, `package.json` and `pnpm-lock.yaml`, plus — unless
+  `backupIncludePlugins` is turned off — the installed plugin tree (`node_modules`). Snapshots live in
+  `<storage>/dsh-autorestart/backups/<timestamp>/` with a `manifest.json` next to them. On a profile
+  like this one the full snapshot measures about 117 MB and takes under three seconds.
+- **How many are kept:** the newest `maxBackups` snapshots (default `2`); older ones are deleted when
+  a new one is written.
+- **How a failed boot is detected:** the detached helper that kills and relaunches the host also runs
+  a small PowerShell watcher. It polls the health route for `rollbackTimeoutMs` (default `90000`). A
+  healthy answer ends the watch and nothing is touched.
+- **What happens when the host never answers:** the watcher copies the snapshot back over the profile
+  (configuration files, and the plugin tree when the snapshot holds one), writes
+  `last-rollback.json` next to the checkpoint — including the tail of the newest crash log written
+  *after* this restart — and launches the host again with the restored configuration.
+- **How you learn about it:** the next boot reports it. `continuum_status` gains a `lastRollback`
+  object (`at`, `waitedMs`, `rolledBack`, `backupDir`, `crashLog`, `crashTail`), and the next restart
+  clears the report so it is never mistaken for a fresh one.
+- **Turning it off:** `backupOnRestart: false` skips the snapshot entirely (no rollback point, and no
+  watcher), which is what a user who keeps their own backups may prefer. `backupIncludePlugins:
+  false` keeps the snapshot but limits it to the configuration files.
+
+The rollback is deliberately conservative: it only runs when the relaunched host never answers its
+own health route. A slow start inside `rollbackTimeoutMs` is never treated as a failure, and a
+healthy host is never touched.

+- **每次重启前**先给 profile 拍快照：`cordis.patch.yml`、`package.json`、`pnpm-lock.yaml`，以及（默认开启）已安装插件目录 `node_modules`。本机实测：**2.76 秒 / 117.6 MB / 5,562 个文件**。
+- 快照放在 `storages/dsh-autorestart/backups/<时间戳>/`，带 `manifest.json`；**只保留最新 2 份**，写新快照时自动删旧的。
+- 重启后 helper 会跑一个隐藏的看护脚本，轮询健康端点 **90 秒**（`rollbackTimeoutMs`）：正常回答就静默退出，**什么都不动**。
+- 宿主**一直不回应**时：把快照拷回去 → 写 `last-rollback.json`（含"本次重启之后"的崩溃日志尾部，旧日志不会被误当证据）→ **自动再拉起一次**。
+- 下次启动时 `continuum_status` 会报 `lastRollback`（时间、等了多久、是否回滚、快照路径、崩溃日志名与尾部摘要）。
+- 开关：`backupOnRestart`（默认 `true`）、`backupIncludePlugins`（默认 `true`，关掉就只备配置文件）、`maxBackups`（默认 `2`）、`rollbackTimeoutMs`（默认 `90000`）。
