Description

Hard terminates matching processes across commandable members of a group. Fans out ProcessKill commands to active commandable known group members, waits for client results, and returns a summary plus per-target/per-process kill details. Offline, unavailable, unknown, failed, and no-match targets are reported per target. Hard termination only; it is not graceful close. /tree is explicit and is not the default. Partial names, partial paths, wildcards, regex, folder-wide kill, group /user execution, and Agent dispatch are not implemented. Use group.process.close for graceful close where appropriate.
