but i'd like to get flows in a good final state before proceeding

I think this will fix anyway when you move to the k8s agent. The Flow has a heartbeat that consistently pings Prefect to make sure it is alive. When you run into OOM, the flow and heartbeat will die, and then Prefect will mark the Flow as failed after enough missed heartbeats, so really Prefect should be able to mark it as Failed eventually and you should not need to edit the state. Does that make sense?

Well this cancelling I am unsure it will resolve so I would just mark it as Failed. The heartbeats missing should mark it as failed in like 20 mins I think

There is a set state in the UI where you can set the state of a Task or Flow
