Chances are, at the rate we’re going, all habitable systems’ stars will completely die out before we ever catch a good glimpse at them

Makes me wonder if maybe in the far future, we nudge the orbit of the sun through the galactic disk so we can carefully manure Earth into the habitable zone of a red dwarf.

Doesn't matter how carefully you manure Earth, it's still a shitty plan.

Aliens: "Wow, such a young species already building a dyson sphere?"

Human: "Huh? Oh, that? No, thats our Galactic Parabolic Orbit Slingshot Array, AKA ye ol' sun nudger to get earth closer to another usable star."

Aliens: "..."

Humans: "You ok?'

Aliens: "If you can maintain fragile habitability while you move stars why not just turn your planet into a space station?"

"Because it already is? A living ecosystem can usually outperform and absolutely outlast any sort of machine fabricated environment. Throw a gas giant at the distant edge of your dwarf system and it'll sort out nearly all the deadly rocks. Why fix what isn't broken?"
