POST /display/on-demand/start treated start_service (default true, sent by "Preview on display", the on-demand dialog and the MQTT bridge) as "restart": with the service running it ran systemctl stop, slept 1.5s and started it again. Every request cold-started the display process -- every plugin reloaded, panel blank -- to deliver a request the running process already reads from the cache mailbox every ON_DEMAND_POLL_INTERVAL (0.25s), including mid-dwell, mid-screen and mid-Vegas. The restart bought nothing: startup only restores a session the display saved itself (display_on_demand_config), so the new request arrived through the same mailbox either way. start_service now means "start it if it is not running". The stop route coerces stop_service to a boolean so "false" no longer stops the service. test_api_v3_on_demand_restart.py pinned the old restart path; it now pins the replacement. Docs updated.
