-# Triggered by the Settings page Apply button (#command in the form post).
-# By the time we're called, /update.php has already written the new
-# netbird.cfg. Reconcile the running daemon with the new settings.
+# Apply NetBird settings for a single profile.
+#
+# Usage: apply.sh <profile-name> [reregister]
+#
+# Called by action.php's "save" handler after it has written the global
+# netbird.cfg (ENABLE_NETBIRD, LOG_LEVEL) and the per-profile credential cfg
+# (profiles/<name>.cfg). We reconcile the running daemon WITHOUT a full restart:
+# ensure it's up, select the target profile, then run `up` with that profile's
+# own credentials. Selecting before `up` is what keeps profiles from crossing.
+#
+# When <reregister> is "1", the profile is torn down and recreated before `up`.
+# NetBird bakes the management URL and hostname into the profile at first
+# registration; a plain `up --management-url X`/`--hostname Y` on an
+# already-registered profile is ignored ("Already connected"). So changing
+# either requires re-registering, which is what action.php requests via this flag.
