Kill is destructive and irreversible. The agent is canceled, its VM is released, and any in-progress work that has not been pushed or opened as a pull request is lost. To pause an agent without losing it, use murmur sleep instead.
Cancels a running agent and its entire child tree. The agent transitions to PHASE_CANCELED and its VM is destroyed. If the agent has children, they are canceled too. On a VM, the slug is optional — omitting it kills the current agent.
