Disable the Caretaker

To switch the Caretaker off, remove its schedule entry -- both the durable copy and the live one:

rm -f /home/user/workspace/data/.state/cron.d/minds-caretaker /etc/cron.d/minds-caretaker

That is the whole switch: cron drops the entry within a minute, nothing runs anymore, and the agent is never woken again. Its notes and permissions file (under data/.state/caretaker/) stay put, so re-enabling later (the enable-caretaker skill) picks up where it left off.

If the user also wants its state gone, additionally remove data/.state/caretaker/ -- but confirm first, since that deletes the Caretaker's run history and their recorded permissions.
