Stop a controllable adapter on an agent (terminates any work in progress)

## Usage

```bash
ktm agents adapters disable <adapter> [flags]
```

## Examples

```bash
ktm agents adapters disable adb_bridge --agent phone-hub-01
ktm agents adapters disable adb_bridge --agent phone-hub-01 --confirm
```

## Arguments

| Argument | Required |
| --- | --- |
| `adapter` | Yes |

## Flags

| Flag | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `--confirm` | boolean |  | Execute the disable (without this, shows preview) |

## Details

Stops an adapter on an agent, without restarting the agent. Anyone using
that adapter is interrupted. Without --confirm it previews the change and
stops nothing.

The change is ephemeral: after an agent restart, the agent's own configuration
decides again.
