Description
I had a grid `grid_a` with too many experiments running so I refactored some of its experiments in a new grid file `grid_b`.
While running the new grid `dora grid grid_b` worked as expected and found the already running experiment, when I ran `dora grid grid_a` again it cancelled all the experiments that were now in `grid_b`.
It would be nice to have a way to track this scenario and only garbage collect experiments that are not linked to a grid.
And also it would be nice to ask the user for confirmation when cancelling experiments.

Research direction
Start by tracing the `dora grid` command and its handling of running experiments and garbage collection. Reproduce moving a running experiment from `grid_a` to `grid_b`, then define how linked grids should prevent cancellation and when confirmation is required. Done means the moved experiments remain active and cancellation prompts the user.
