uip rpa stop-execution

uip rpa stop-execution stops the workflow execution currently running under Studio — the one started by uip rpa run-file. Use it when a run is hanging, taking longer than expected, or producing wrong output and you need to halt it from a script.

It is the standalone equivalent of uip rpa run-file --command Stop, packaged as its own verb so callers that did not start the run themselves do not need to know the original --file-path. Studio drives the stop, so the verb requires a Windows runner.

Synopsis
