Stop sessions
Ends a running session. `message` is recorded as the cancellation reason, which is what a later reader of the transcript sees.
POST /v1/agent/sessions/{id}/stop

| Auth | Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY |
Ends a running session. message is recorded as the cancellation
reason, which is what a later reader of the transcript sees.
STOPPING IS NOT DELETING: the session, its transcript and anything it produced stay readable. A session that has already finished is 409 rather than a second stop.

[email protected] (npm) was generated from an earlier release, where this operation carried a different id, so it spells the method differently — regenerating the clients is what makes the two agree.
