Problem
It has been confirmed that when snakemake's internal API (snakemake.Workflow, etc.) is used directly, it affects the operation of a running snakemake process (such as forcing it to stop).
Solution
I decided not to use snakemake's internal API directly, and instead created new code (SmkInternalUtils) based on snakemake's original code.
