A local call waiting for a slot is reached by a stop, a delete or a cancel and ends without running; what a call emits after its flow was stopped is dropped as its result is; a node run by hand whose flow is stopped or deleted tells its caller but publishes no node_error; cancelling a node also ends its calls on workers
