https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/customize-settings/profile-advanced describes at "Profile termination behavior" only "graceful", "always", and "never" (along with the aliases "true" and "false"), but in the UI you can also set this to "automatic".

I wanted to know what the difference is between "graceful" and "automatic" as it seems to behave the same.
Unfortunately the docs do not mention "automatic" at all.

So my question is, what is the difference between "automatic" and "graceful" and to add that information to the documentation.
