GracefullyStoppable

Graceful-shutdown capability for independently owned resources.

Implementations of this interface provide both synchronous and asynchronous graceful stop operations. The synchronous stop method has a default timeout of 30 seconds; if shutdown does not complete within that window, the call fails with a timeout. Use stop with a custom Duration to adjust the timeout, or call stopGracefully directly for fully asynchronous shutdown.

This contract defines shutdown and blocking AutoCloseable adapters only. It does not define startup, readiness, ordering, force-stop, or orchestration ownership. It is useful for batch coordinators, scheduler suppliers, connection pools, and other independently owned resources that must complete in-flight operations before terminating.
