Description
I basically ended up implementing a small wrapper around closeEndPoint that does
forM_ otherNodes $ \otherNode -> do
InMem.breakConnection
transportInternals
(Transport.address nodeToBeTerminated)
(Transport.address otherNode)
("Node " ++ show (Local.localNodeId nodeToBeTerminated) ++ " closed")
But I would have expected this to happen by default. Not sure if this is a documentation problem or a missing feature.

Research direction
Start by tracing closeEndPoint and the transportInternals path, then compare its behavior with the shown InMem.breakConnection call over otherNodes. Clarify whether endpoint shutdown should automatically break peer connections or only needs documentation; done means the intended behavior is specified and covered by the relevant existing tests.
