```
stop_owned(Ownership)
-spec stop_owned(ownership()) -> ok | {error, map()}.
```

Stop the daemon and endpoint associated with a `t:ownership/0` token. Performs I/O and returns ok only after endpoint/client/helper retirement and namespace cleanup are proved. It never sends [kill-server](/en/tmux/latest/manual/kill-server/) to a socket path.

A replaced socket/directory or unexpected directory contents are preserved and
return `cleanup_incomplete` with process and namespace details. A supervised
tombstone retains uncertain cleanup; call again to inspect/retry after external
repair. Filesystem identity checks are observations, not atomic reservations
against another trusted process replacing a path during unlink.

Successful stop is idempotent during the 60-second token retention period.
After token expiry or application shutdown, returns `ownership_expired`.
Stop explicitly before application shutdown when the caller needs a verified
cleanup result. OTP application shutdown itself does not prove native cleanup.
Incomplete shutdown writes a private recovery report outside the owned socket
directory and logs its location or write failure; no automatic recovery runs.

## Parameters

- `Ownership` (`ownership()`)
