ComfyUI returns from main.py after Ctrl+C without closing its event loop,
and Python joins every executor thread before any atexit callback runs, so
a scan batch, thumbnail batch or model download in flight kept ComfyUI
alive until it ended (on Windows each ffmpeg up to its 30 s timeout).
The package now registers a threading._register_atexit hook (after
concurrent.futures', so it runs before that join) that sets an exit signal
and kills the running encoder processes. Job.cancelled follows the signal,
so every check a job already makes between files stops it at exit;
map_parallel starts no further item, the scan walk stops between folders and
a tagging model download stops before its next chunk. Without the internal
hook exit behaves as before.
