# CRITICAL OPERATIONAL CONSTRAINTS
|
|
|
|
## ⛔ NEVER RESTART SERVICES WITHOUT EXPLICIT USER PERMISSION ⛔
|
|
|
|
### Affected Services:
|
|
- `media-downloader.service` (scheduler)
|
|
- ANY systemd service related to media downloader
|
|
- ANY process that could interrupt downloads
|
|
|
|
### Why This Is Critical:
|
|
- Downloads can take hours to complete
|
|
- Restarting interrupts active downloads and loses progress
|
|
- User has explicitly forbidden this multiple times
|
|
- Data loss and wasted bandwidth occur
|
|
|
|
### What To Do Instead:
|
|
|
|
#### ✅ CORRECT Approach:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# After making code changes, inform user:
|
|
"The changes are complete and saved to the files.
|
|
When you're ready to apply them, you can restart
|
|
the service with: sudo systemctl restart media-downloader.service"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### ❌ NEVER Do This:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# DO NOT run these commands automatically:
|
|
sudo systemctl restart media-downloader.service
|
|
sudo systemctl stop media-downloader.service
|
|
pkill -f media-downloader.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Exception:
|
|
ONLY restart services if the user EXPLICITLY requests it in the current message:
|
|
- "restart the service"
|
|
- "apply the changes now"
|
|
- "reload the scheduler"
|
|
|
|
If unclear, ASK first: "Would you like me to restart the service to apply these changes?"
|
|
|
|
### History:
|
|
- User has been interrupted during downloads multiple times
|
|
- User has explicitly warned about this constraint repeatedly
|
|
- This has caused significant frustration and data loss
|
|
|
|
## Other Critical Constraints
|
|
|
|
### Database Operations:
|
|
- Always use transactions for multi-step database operations
|
|
- Never delete data without user confirmation
|
|
|
|
### File Operations:
|
|
- Never delete user files without explicit permission
|
|
- Always verify paths before destructive operations
