Describe the live effects of service protection.

applyProtection does more than write drop-in files. It reloads the systemd managers and can update oom_score_adj for running protected units. Replace the absolute claim with the actual effects.

IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Review comment at @apps/server/src/cli/service.ts at line 322:
Update the service protection description in the CLI help text to state that it
writes systemd drop-in files, reloads the systemd managers, and can update OOM
scores for running protected units; retain the existing undo command.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local
review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr
