 - The disable is **session-only / in-memory** — it does not edit `params.ini`.
   Restarting the bot re-enables the run. This is intentional so a transient problem
   (e.g. a game hiccup) doesn't permanently change your config.
-- If **all** runs end up disabled, the bot stops/restarts for investigation rather
-  than looping over empty games.
+- If **all** runs end up disabled there are no routes left, so the bot saves a
+  session report and stops cleanly (kills the game and exits) rather than looping
+  over empty games or pointlessly restarting D2R.
