When I run a STOP action, I expect the automation to stop, but it looks like it only stops the existing execution pipeline. How can I make the automation stop entirely?
#STOP action does not halt parallel processes?

How would you guarantee the other parallel processes aren’t finished? The point of parallel operations is that they don’t affect each other.
I suppose you could set a variable or input Boolean during your “stop” step, and between each step of your parallel processes you could add a condition to check if that variable is set

A workaround might be to create a script that disables and enables the automation. Call that script instead of the "stop".

Pretty sure that just affects the trigger and has no effect on a running instance

Disabling an automation aborts it

Ah, it's an option that defaults to true: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/automation/services/
