Description

**Mood:** 😔
**Category:** Requests and ideas

Why can't I stop an automation!?!?! PANIC. My automation is now crawling through hundreds of PRs looking for a review. And it couldn't use `gh` (how do I make it work? unclear) so it's using a lot of raw git commands and very rudiomentary ways to go through them. My precious sweet tokens are being wasted with no way to stop it

Research direction

No source file, entry point, or test is named. Reproduce the runaway automation from /workflows using app version 1.0.10 on Arch Linux, then trace how running work is controlled; done should include a reliable way to stop the automation and prevent further token-consuming git or GitHub work.
