What's the scope of "abort these steps"?

In various subsections of the algorithm that defines the implementation of the share method there is the instruction

abort these steps.

However, it is unclear whether the steps referred to are those in the "subroutine" (and in each case in this algorithm the instruction is within a "subroutine" conditionally entered) or those of the algorithm as a whole.

Perhaps "terminate the algorithm" or something similar would be clearer language?

Yeah, should probably switch to terminate this algorithm.

Maybe an issue should be raised against Infra to define a phrase to use?
