```
(stop-daemon daemon)
```

Stop and reap DAEMON's owned child, then remove its checked socket and directory.
Idempotent after success; returns no values. Never targets a daemon through a
reusable PID or socket command. A 0.75-second admission wait and a separate
0.75-second worker join precede any retried job cleanup (up to 0.5 seconds).
Synchronous OS calls and scheduling can extend wall time. Failed cleanup signals
DAEMON-CLEANUP-FAILED and retains the owner for retry. Closing an ordinary client
does not call this function. Terminating the daemon does not establish exit of
every pane descendant.
