clarify that `prefect server services ls` shows configuration, not runtime state this addresses confusion when users run `prefect server start --no-services` and then check `prefect server services ls`, which still shows services as "enabled" even though they're not running. changes: - column header: "Enabled?" → "Configured?" - help text: clarified this shows environment variable configuration - footer note: explicitly states services won't run with --no-services or --workers > 1 fixes the misleading output reported in slack by ryan sharp 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
