Description

I'm hitting an issue with a local_resource getting stuck in progress indefinitely. The root problem for the indefinite process is on my end. From the CLI, I can kill the parent process (kill <pid>), preventing the need to restart the tilt process. Tilt recognizes this (which is great!), but it would be nice to not have to drop to another terminal.

Research direction

Start at the CLI handling for local_resource and trace the existing behavior that notices when its parent process is killed. Add a CLI way to request that termination without using a second terminal, then verify that a stuck resource can be stopped while Tilt keeps running.
