Research direction

Reproduce the warning by deactivating the controller while an action is executing in the Debian Humble source-build environment. Review the change introduced by #962 together with the realtime_tools and rcl_action transition context; done means this controller shutdown scenario no longer attempts the invalid CANCELED transition.
