Mostlylucid.Ephemeral.Atoms.Volatile

Remove completed operations the moment they emit a kill signal so your window stays tiny and every operation is truly ephemeral.

Every EphemeralWorkCoordinator now implements IOperationEvictor.TryKill(long) so you can ask it to drop an operation immediately. VolatileOperationAtom hooks a shared SignalSink, listens for a configurable kill pattern (default kill.*), and evicts the matching operation as soon as its kill signal arrives. Combine with EphemeralOptions.EnableOperationEcho / OperationEchoMaker if you still need a trimmed copy of the final signal wave.

var sink = new SignalSink();
await using var coordinator = new EphemeralWorkCoordinator<JobItem>(
 async (job, ct) => await ProcessQuick(job, ct),
 new EphemeralOptions
 {
 Signals = sink,
 MaxTrackedOperations = 32,
 EnableOperationEcho = true,
 OperationEchoRetention = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30)
 });

using var volatileAtom = new VolatileOperationAtom(sink, coordinator);

await coordinator.EnqueueAsync(new JobItem("work-1"));
// inside your job: emitter.Emit("kill.work");

When the job raises kill.work, the atom finds the operation ID carried in the signal, calls TryKill, and the operation disappears instantly. Echos stay intact because the coordinator still raises OperationFinalized, which feeds the echo store. Use OperationEchoAtom / OperationEchoMaker to persist the echo via *.echo.start / *.echo.end signals before the kill finally removes the operation.
