 ### Fixed
 - `herdr --remote` now prints clean remote attach failures and SSH authentication guidance instead of Rust Debug-formatted I/O errors when SSH authentication is denied. (#1034)
+- `herdr server stop` now stops Windows named-pipe servers instead of failing with `named pipes do not support I/O timeouts`. (#1113)
 - `herdr server stop` now waits until both server sockets are unreachable before returning, avoiding an immediate first-start failure when restarting right after replacing the binary.
 - macOS `herdr --remote` clients now bridge Finder-dropped image files to the remote pane instead of forwarding the local file path as typed text. (#828)
 - Grok Build agent detection now tracks the current Grok Build UI: panes report working while responses, tools, and subagents run, and blocked on permission prompts and question dialogs, instead of falling back to idle mid-turn. (#1017)
