Research direction
Examine the `commands` and `diag` packages in the kubo repository to understand how diagnostic commands are implemented and registered. Review issue #3114 to understand the broader context for command cancellation. Determine the best way to cancel running commands, possibly using context cancellation or a signal mechanism, and design an API for cancelling by command ID.
