blackfinger 904a773ade refactor: Add CleanupStatus type to replace raw strings (gt-77gq7)
Introduces a typed CleanupStatus with constants:
- CleanupClean, CleanupUncommitted, CleanupStash, CleanupUnpushed, CleanupUnknown

Adds helper methods:
- IsSafe(): true for clean status
- RequiresRecovery(): true for uncommitted/stash/unpushed
- CanForceRemove(): true if force flag can bypass

Updated files to use the new type:
- internal/polecat/types.go: Type definition and methods
- internal/polecat/manager.go: Validation logic
- internal/witness/handlers.go: Nuke safety checks
- internal/cmd/done.go: Status reporting
- internal/cmd/polecat.go: Recovery status checks
