Gmer4Lfe df3c4bb369 Stop signalling on the strength of a stat file alone
A job killed hard never corrects its own record, so 'running' outlives the
process and the pid can since belong to something else; array-start jobs get
setsid too, so Stop can reach past their direct children.

// ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
// PURPOSE
// Job killer. Terminates a running job, clears the lock files it left behind, and corrects
// its stat file — the stop button on the scheduler page.
//
// OPERATIONAL MODEL
// Escalating termination, then cleanup. SIGTERM to the whole process group, up to three
// seconds to exit, SIGKILL if it did not. The group is the target rather than the pid
// because a Varaverk script is mostly other processes — rsync, ssh, curl, docker — and
// killing only the parent would orphan every one of them still holding the resources the
// next run needs.
//
// The stat file is the job's own record, and a killed job never gets to correct it. This
// endpoint does that on its behalf, which is what stops the scheduler page from showing a
// spinner for a job that no longer exists.
//
// DESIGN PRINCIPLES
// Kills the group only when the job owns the group; otherwise the tree.
// `ps -o pgid=` resolves the process group, and it is used only if it equals the recorded
// pid — i.e. the job is the group leader. Otherwise the fallback is pkill -P plus the pid
// itself. Two strategies, because a job whose runner already exited can leave children
// whose group id is no longer discoverable from the recorded pid, and because a job that
// was not started under setsid shares its group with whatever launched it.
//
// Waits before escalating.
// Six 500ms checks between TERM and KILL. Scripts have cleanup handlers — releasing
// locks, finishing a write, unmounting — and killing immediately would skip exactly the
// work that makes the next run safe.
//
// Reports honestly when the kill failed.
// ok mirrors whether the process is actually gone. A process in uninterruptible sleep
// survives SIGKILL, and the response says so rather than claiming success and leaving
// the user to discover the job is still running.
//
// OPERATIONAL SAFEGUARDS
// The job id is validated, and the pid is an integer before it reaches a shell.
// ^[a-zA-Z0-9_./\-]+\.sh$ with an explicit '..' check on the id, and (int) casts on
// every pid — the recorded one and each lock's owner — before interpolation. The signal
// commands are the only shell in this file and none of them can carry anything but a
// number.
//
// pid < 2 is refused.
// A zero, missing, or malformed pid in the stat file would make `kill -TERM -0` signal
// the caller's own process group — the web server. Rejecting anything below 2 also
// excludes init.
//
// A group is never signalled unless the job leads it.
// pgid must equal the recorded pid, and must not equal this process's own group. This is
// the guard the pid < 2 check was mistaken for: pid was always a valid, live number, and
// the group it named was still the web server's. On 2026-08-07 stopping a genuinely
// running transcode_management.sh SIGTERMed then SIGKILLed the php-fpm group and took the
// WebGUI down; Docker was unaffected, so it presented as an OS crash. The failure needs a
// job that is still alive when Stop is pressed, which is why earlier stop tests — where
// the script had already exited and `ps` returned nothing — passed.
//
// A job that is not running is a no-op success.
// Three paths exit before any signal is sent: no stat file, status not 'running', and a
// recorded pid with no /proc entry. The third is the one that matters, because the other
// two only cover a job that got to write its own ending. run_job.sh updates the stat file
// on exit, but SIGKILL, an OOM kill and a power loss all skip that — leaving 'running'
// and a pid the kernel is free to hand to something else. Signalling on the strength of
// that file alone is signalling a stranger. run.php and status.php already refuse to
// believe a 'running' stat without the /proc check; this endpoint is the one that sends
// SIGKILL, so it is the last place that should have been taking the file's word for it.
//
// The stale entry is corrected to 'error' on the way out rather than left alone: the job
// did not stop, it died, and a status of 'stopped' would claim this endpoint did
// something it did not do.
//
// What this does not prove is that a live /proc/<pid> is still *this* job's process —
// a pid reissued to something unrelated between the stat write and the click looks
// identical. Closing that needs the process start-time out of /proc/<pid>/stat compared
// against the recorded start. Not done here, and deliberately: it is real machinery, and
// the window it closes is far narrower than the one above.
//
// The pid is only cleared from the stat file if the process is confirmed gone.
// D-state processes survive SIGKILL. Clearing the pid there would lose the only handle
// anyone has on a process that is still holding locks, and would report the job stopped
// while it continues to run.
//
// Lock clearing is bounded to the lock directory and to dead owners.
// glob over /tmp/unraid_locks/*.lock — a hardcoded literal, not a config value — and a
// lock is removed only when its recorded owner is this pid or is no longer in /proc. A
// lock held by a live, unrelated process is never touched.
//
// Deliberate side effect: stale locks from other jobs are reaped too.
// The dead-owner test is not scoped to this job, so one stop clears every abandoned
// lock on the host. That is intentional — a lock whose owner does not exist is by
// definition stale, and leaving it to be found later means a future run refuses to
// start for no reason.
//
// The name-based fallback covers pid rotation.
// A lock file named after the script is removed regardless of its recorded owner,
// because a rotated pid can make a genuinely stale lock look live.

// non-interactive `sh -c` where job control is off. The job therefore inherited the process group
// of the php-fpm worker that spawned it, and `kill -TERM -$pgid` signalled the entire web server
// group. Pressing Stop on a job that was actually still running took the WebGUI down with it;
// Docker lives in its own sessions and kept serving, which is what made it look like an OS crash
