+"""Stand-only guard: keep visitor-admins from killing the public demo.
+
+Visitors log in as `demo`, and that user HAS to be an administrator — the
+House Plan card gates its editor on `user.is_admin`, and demonstrating the
+editor is the whole point of the stand. But an administrator can also call
+`homeassistant.restart` / `homeassistant.stop`, and visitors do exactly that
+(seen live 2026-07-31: HA exited with the restart code 100 minutes after a
+scheduled reset, right as a visitor session from an external IP was active —
+that is what looked like «стенд перезагружается чаще, чем раз в час»).
+
+Once startup finishes this component re-registers both services as no-ops:
+the UI buttons stay, pressing them only leaves a WARNING in the log. The
+hourly stand reset is NOT affected — hp-reset.timer restarts the docker
+container from the outside.
