Starlink's USB ethernet shares a hub with the rtw89 Wi-Fi adapter; when Starlink flaps, the hub re-enumerates and tears the radio down, so hostapd loses its interface and exits. Two stock defaults left the AP dark: Restart=on-failure misses clean exits, and the 5-in-10s start limit makes systemd give up during a re-enumeration storm. - hostapd-restart.conf drop-in: Restart=always, RestartSec=5, StartLimitIntervalSec=0 so hostapd retries forever until the interface returns (verified: SIGKILL -> back to state=ENABLED in ~7s). - van-ap-watchdog daemon: backstop for the case systemd can't see (hostapd running but radio wedged). Polls hostapd_cli status; restarts hostapd if the iface is present but not ENABLED, waits it out if the iface is mid-re-enumeration. - hostapd.conf: add ctrl_interface so the watchdog can read the real AP state.
