DOC-5: tell installers to turn on the Supervisor Watchdog
checks / unit (pull_request) Successful in 8m41s

Since SAFETY-61 a dead control loop writes 0 W and exits 70. The Supervisor
restarts a stopped add-on only when the per-install Watchdog toggle is on,
and it defaults to off. One step in DOCS.md "Before you start", with a
pointer to the DECISIONS file.

control loop stops the add-on at 0 W, and the Supervisor restarts it only when
Watchdog is on (it is off by default). See

## The safety model, in short
The inverter **holds its last command forever** — it has no meter-timeout. So:
