When GitHub actions are stopped GitHub just goes straight for the nuclear SIGKILL. No, asking nice first with a SIGTERM...

This means that for anything that needs to gracefully cancel, like for example terraform, it's screwed.

Want to cancel a run? Maybe you've got a plan being generated for every commit on a branch, but you push an update. Should be ok for GitHub to stop the previous run and run the action for the updated code, right? WRONG! That's a quick way to a broken state.
