The founder's word (20:21 BST 8 Oct 2026): pkill and killall refuse by construction on every box and pod (exit 97). lib/pidkill.sh
(kill_pidfile, kill_children by parent pid, kill_sock_owner through ss -xlp) is the shared form; box-prover.py finds the SP1 server by
the pid owning its socket; lib/box.py, box-kill.sh, kill-node.sh, the rig scripts (box-ember, box-rig, box-matrix, box-floor-v5),
lib/standing.py and publish-2-move.py stop by pid files; box-dn3.sh writes node, miner-loop and miner pids and uses pidkill;
fleet-puller.sh and dn3-kill.sh call fleet-stop.sh. Seventeen devnet-2-era scripts that only ever stopped by name move to
tools/fleet/retired/ with a README.
