How can I mark a deploy as "canceled" when its workflow got canceled?

Deployments
1

We use deploy markers in our deploy job, one marker per environment:
circleci run release plan <name> --component-name ... --environment-name ... --target-version ...,
then update --status=running, and SUCCESS/FAILED at the end.

After cancelling a deployment the marker stays at RUNNING permanently. We have not found a way to correct it.

What we tested:

  • A companion job wired with requires: [deploy: [canceled]] does not run when theworkflow is cancelled. It is cancelled along with everything else and no job record is created for it.
  • A when: always step inside the cancelled job does not run either.
  • A marker planned by a cancelled workflow still read RUNNING on the Deploys dashboard half an hour later, so nothing transitions it server-side.

Two questions:

  1. Is there a way to execute something when a workflow gets cancelled?

  2. Failing that, is there a supported way to update a marker from outside the
    workflow that planned it?

If we are holding this wrong, that would be good to hear too.
