Close Semantics

close sends a bridge request to the target sim and then waits for it to disappear from the host’s connection list. If a sim ignores the request or is in the middle of disconnecting already, the command reports that state instead of pretending the close succeeded instantly.

--all closes every connected sim; --others closes everything except the current/targeted sim. Both are the cleanup path when leaked sims (e.g. from repeated open --new) accumulate on the bridge — use --others to clear the backlog without losing the sim you are working in.
