📖What it means
The one control that stops and resumes the whole pipeline. It is the ONLY sanctioned way to halt everything — status is not a safety brake, and using status to stop work strands it instead.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Breaker
The switch is operated deliberately; the breaker trips on its own.
Not: Parked
The switch stops EVERYTHING; parking sets one piece of work aside.
