Why does byparr keep restarting on my SparkBox, and can you fix it?

My question: Why does byparr keep restarting on my SparkBox, and can you fix it? SparkBox AI replied: I dug into it but ran out of steps before wrapping up — ask me again, or check the dashboard directly. What I still need help with: (describe what didn't work or what's still broken)

If Byparr starts restarting after gluetun (the VPN connection) is recreated, it can be left attached to the old, dead network connection; SparkBox has a fix for reconnecting it. Please run sudo sparkbox update and then sudo sparkbox up, and tell me your SparkBox version if Byparr still restarts afterward. I can’t confirm the cause on your box yet, but this is the first step for that known failure mode.

I’m sorry — I gave you a fix without verifying that it matches your Byparr restarts. The SparkBox 1.6.778 change covers VPN-connected apps after a single-app restart; it does not establish why Byparr is restarting on its own. One next check: what SparkBox version is installed, and does Gluetun restart at the same time as Byparr? Please don’t post logs or VPN credentials. I’ve corrected what I know so a possible cause is not presented as confirmed.
