??? So, the process is 'automated' in some way? What ATC and/or pilot
action toggles the action to closure?

Though generally speaking when you land at a towered airport they
usually close your IFR flight plan for you,,, but it is more a courtesy
rather than something they are 'responsible' for,,, so-to-speak. In
the end it is the responsibility of the PIC


When you land at a towered field in the US your IFR flight plan is closed
automatically. ATC takes no action to close it, it's closed simply
because
you've arrived at your clearance limit. Action is taken only if you don't
arrive - a search is started.
