How to quit a running Shortcut in MacOS Sequoia?

I have a long-running Shortcut that I'm running from the dock. I created it in the Shortcuts app on MacOS 15.8.2. But once it's running, how do I get access to it to quit it? It doesn't show as running in the Shortcuts app. I can kill it from Activity Monitor, but I'm not sure which process to kill (though I can guess). The dock icon doesn't have a "quit" option, nor does it even show that it's active.

Any ideas?

Plus, if anyone knows of some more detailed Shortcuts doc other than Apple's thin one, I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks!
