🐛 Fixes

Connection shutdown sometimes fails during hot-reload (PR #8169)

A race condition in connection shutdown during a hot reload event occasionally left some connections in an active state instead of entering terminating state. This could cause out-of-memory errors over time as multiple pipelines remained active.

Connections that open during shutdown now immediately terminate.
