Judge a service by its program, and name any service left stopped

A unit is Omarchy's or the old package's by the program its ExecStart runs or the script it hands that program, not by a path appearing anywhere in the line, so a gateway that merely names ~/.openclaw in an argument is not taken over. The state directory and config overrides are cleared with the profile selectors, since Omarchy's OpenClaw is the default one. Any failure after a running service was stopped for the move names that service, a partial stop included.
