What happens to the pipeline status after clicking 'kill' on a running pipeline?

When you click 'kill' on a running pipeline, the status of that pipeline is updated to 'Killed'. This is an intentional design aspect within the pipeline management system, as it reflects that the pipeline execution was explicitly terminated by user action. This status provides clear information to users and helps in managing and monitoring pipeline executions effectively.

In this context, changing the status to 'Killed' indicates that the pipeline did not complete its normal execution and was intentionally stopped, rather than concluding naturally or finishing its tasks. This distinction is essential for users managing multiple pipelines, as it allows them to quickly identify which processes were not allowed to finish as they normally would.

Other statuses, such as 'Completed' or 'Running', would misrepresent the actual state of the pipeline after being killed, and an automatic restart is not aligned with the expected behavior of a 'kill' command, which is designed to terminate the running process. Thus, the clarity provided by marking it as 'Killed' supports effective pipeline management.
