cancel.rs

//! Cancellation of a run and of the sub-workflow runs below it.
//!
//! A child run executes inside its parent's execution: once the parent stops
//! (cancelled, failed, retried, abandoned by its worker), nothing drives the
//! child any more. [`Engine::cancel_descendants`] closes those children so
//! none stays non-terminal forever, holding its concurrency key.
//! [`Engine::cancel_run`] cancels a run with its descendants, and wakes the
//! root of a suspended chain whose child it cancelled so the root observes it.
