### SessionCloseStartedException
-`SessionCloseStartedException` is `internal` and is only thrown from inside `GatewaySession.CloseAsync` when the close path has already begun mutating worker state and a subsequent step fails. `SessionManager.CloseSessionCoreAsync` catches it, marks the session faulted, increments the close-failed metric, removes the session from the registry, and rethrows it wrapped as `SessionManagerException` with `CloseFailed`. The intermediate type exists so the public API surface only ever exposes `SessionManagerException`.

`GatewaySession.CloseAsync` is serialized by a per-session `SemaphoreSlim` (`_closeLock`) so only one close runs at a time, but every read/write of `_state` still passes through `_syncRoot` (via `TryBeginClose` and `MarkClosed`). The close path therefore obeys the same lock discipline as `TransitionTo` / `MarkFaulted`: it transitions to `Closing`, asks the worker client to shut down within `ShutdownTimeout`, and on success transitions to `Closed`. `DisposeAsync` waits on `_closeLock` once before disposing the semaphore so an in-flight close's `Release()` cannot race against the dispose.

-If both graceful shutdown and the kill fall-back fail, the original and kill exceptions are bundled into an `AggregateException` and surfaced as `SessionCloseStartedException`. `SessionManager.CloseSessionCoreAsync` then translates that into a `SessionManagerException` with `CloseFailed` and removes the session.
+A kill that succeeds completes the close **successfully**: the worker is gone and the session is `Closed`, exactly as if the shutdown had worked, and the caller's `CloseSession` reply says so. The graceful failure is not lost — it travels back as `SessionCloseResult.WorkerShutdownFailure`, and `SessionManager.CloseSessionCoreAsync` logs it at warning level ("did not shut down gracefully and was killed"), which is the operator signal that workers are hanging on shutdown. The kill itself is counted by `WorkerClient.Kill` (`mxgateway.workers.killed`). Nothing is faulted and no `CloseFailed` fault is recorded, because nothing failed from the session's point of view; reporting the common hung-worker case that way had made every such close look like a teardown failure.
-`GatewaySession.KillWorker` is the unconditional forced-close path used by shutdown when graceful close itself throws, and also by `SessionManager.KillWorkerAsync` — the explicit kill path that the dashboard's admin Kill button invokes. `KillWorkerAsync` skips `WorkerClient.ShutdownAsync` entirely, so `KillCount` increments while `ShutdownCount` does not; the session is then removed from the registry and the open-session slot is released, identical to the cleanup that follows a successful `CloseSessionAsync`.
