Cancel a native Codex Ralph Loop

Cancel only the exact active loop identified by its retained native child identity.

Workflow

1. Read the bounded loop state and verify the project/task scope, child identity, current iteration, and active status.
2. Call the native interrupt operation for that exact child. Do not terminate by process name or broad repository scope.
3. Record the returned previous status and mark the loop cancelled. If the child was already complete or inactive, report that state without widening the action.
4. Preserve unrelated state. Remove a local loop state file only when it belongs to the matching task and the removal is within the authorized cleanup scope.
5. To recover after an accidental interruption, use a native follow-up on the same verified child identity and record the resumed state.

The observed proof interrupted /root/cancel_native_probe while running and then resumed that same identity through two bounded follow-ups. No recursive deletion, process-name kill, or automatic hook was used.
