When routing returns to the running engine without the app setting it, as Proxyman leaves it in putting back what it found, the watch now records it as the app's: the helper is asked to point it there, which makes the app its owner, and the password and sudo paths save a snapshot for the port. Stopping or quitting then turns it off as it does when the app set it. Tests cover the exact sequence on both paths, with and without the takeover.
