Safely request termination of a tracked detached process group using PID identity validation and a SIGTERM-to-SIGKILL grace period. Use only when the user asks to stop a job; critical repair, migration, firmware, or destructive jobs require explicit risk-aware approval and --force.

# Cancel Process Job

Resolve `<plugin-root>` as two directories above this `SKILL.md` and run:

```text
node "<plugin-root>/scripts/job.mjs" cancel <job-id> [--force] --json
```

Never search memory for CPJ work; use validated CPJ state.

If `${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/process-jobs` is not writable in the current
sandbox, request narrow controller escalation on the first call; do not probe
for a predictable `EPERM`.
