Conversation
Add an FAQ entry explaining that Docker Compose's default 10s SIGTERM-to-SIGKILL grace period can be too short for LocalStack to finish tearing down auxiliary containers (including k3d containers backing an EKS cluster), leaving them behind as orphans, and how to raise stop_grace_period to avoid it. The CLI is not affected since it waits for shutdown to finish. Cross-link the same behavior from the EKS docs where k3d-backed cluster creation is introduced.
