cancel targets
the most recent command. With a query, it cancels all in-progress commands that
match.
InProgress state can be canceled. Commands that are already
executing resources finish those resources before moving to the Canceled state,
so no resources are left orphaned.
Force cancel
Use--force to abandon in-progress work and drive the command straight to a
terminal Canceled state, instead of waiting for in-progress resources to finish.
This is an escape hatch for operations that will not complete on their own, such
as a plugin stuck in an unbounded poll loop. With --force:
- Cloud-side operations may keep running after the command is canceled.
- Update and Delete operations are self-healing: the synchronizer reconciles formae’s state against actual cloud state on its next cycle.
- A still-running Create may orphan a cloud resource that formae cannot yet track, because it has no native id. You may need to clean it up manually, or let discovery pick it up.
