c8volt cancel

Cancel running work with explicit confirmation semantics

Synopsis

Cancel running work with explicit confirmation semantics.

Use this command family when you need c8volt to stop active work in Camunda. Child commands explain what gets validated before cancellation, when prompts appear, how --auto-confirm enables unattended destructive flows, and when --no-wait returns accepted cancellation before final completion is observed.
