Gas Town release workflow - from version bump to verified release.

This formula orchestrates a release cycle for Gas Town:
1. Preflight checks (workspace cleanliness, clean git, up to date)
2. Documentation updates (CHANGELOG.md, info.go)
3. Version bump (all components)
4. Git operations (commit, tag, push)
5. Local installation update
6. Daemon restart

## Usage

```bash
gt mol wisp create gastown-release --var version=0.3.0
```

Or assign to a crew member:
```bash
gt sling gastown/crew/max --formula gastown-release --var version=0.3.0
```

## Error Handling

- **Crew members (with user present)**: Attempt to resolve issues (merge branches,
  commit/stash work). Ask the user if blocked.
- **Polecats (autonomous)**: Escalate via `gt escalate` if preflight fails or
  unrecoverable errors occur. Do not proceed with a release if workspaces have
  uncommitted work.

Before releasing, ensure no gastown workspaces have uncommitted work that would
be excluded from the release.

Check all crew workspaces and the mayor rig:

```bash
# Check each workspace
for dir in $GT_ROOT/gastown/crew/* $GT_ROOT/gastown/mayor; do
  if [ -d "$dir/.git" ] || [ -d "$dir" ]; then
    echo "=== Checking $dir ==="
    cd "$dir" 2>/dev/null || continue

    # Check for uncommitted changes
    if ! git diff-index --quiet HEAD -- 2>/dev/null; then
      echo "  ⚠ UNCOMMITTED CHANGES"
      git status --short
    fi

    # Check for stashes
    stash_count=$(git stash list 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
    if [ "$stash_count" -gt 0 ]; then
      echo "  ⚠ HAS $stash_count STASH(ES)"
      git stash list
    fi

    # Check for non-main branches with unpushed commits
    current_branch=$(git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null)

      echo "  ⚠ ON BRANCH: $current_branch (not main)"
    fi
  fi
done
```

## If issues found:

**For crew members (interactive)**:
1. Try to resolve: merge branches, commit work, apply/drop stashes
2. If work is in-progress and not ready, ask the user whether to:
   - Wait for completion
   - Stash and proceed
   - Exclude from this release
3. Only proceed when all workspaces are clean on main

**For polecats (autonomous)**:
1. If any workspace has uncommitted work: STOP and escalate
2. Use: `gt escalate --severity medium "Release blocked: workspace X has uncommitted work"`
3. Do NOT proceed with release - uncommitted work would be excluded

This step is critical. A release with uncommitted work means losing changes.
