The Mac->Jetson SSH tunnel dropped repeatedly during multi-minute live writes (re-ingest, embed loops, sweeps), aborting them partway. Document the fix: run long ops on the Jetson inside tmux (DB is localhost, no tunnel; survives SSH drops), use autossh for interactive tunnels, and optionally make backfill writes per-item resilient.
