Full Gas Town shutdown and restart.

This is an idempotent shutdown - it stops Claude sessions but preserves
polecat sandboxes and hooks. Polecats can resume their work after restart.

Use when you need to:
- Reset all state for a fresh start
- Recover from corrupted agent state
- Prepare for maintenance or upgrades

Sling to Mayor when ready to reboot:

Scan for conditions that might make shutdown inadvisable.

```bash
gt shutdown preflight
```

This checks for:
- **Uncommitted changes**: Polecats with dirty git status
- **Unpushed commits**: Work that hasn't reached remote
- **Active merges**: Refinery mid-merge (could corrupt state)
- **Pending CI**: PRs waiting on GitHub Actions

Output is a report with warnings/blockers:

| Severity | Condition | Action |
|----------|-----------|--------|
| BLOCKER | Active merge in progress | Abort shutdown |
| WARNING | Uncommitted polecat changes | List affected polecats |
| WARNING | Unpushed commits | List repos needing push |
| INFO | Pending CI runs | Note for awareness |

If blockers exist, STOP and resolve them first.
If only warnings, decide whether to proceed (work will be preserved).

Kill Claude processes but leave polecat sandboxes intact.

```bash
# Stop all polecat Claude sessions
gt stop --all --preserve-sandbox

# Verify sandboxes still exist
gt polecats --all --status

What this does:
- Kills tmux sessions running Claude
- Leaves git clones untouched
- Leaves hook files (pinned molecules) intact
- Leaves uncommitted work in place

What this does NOT do:
- Delete polecat directories
- Remove hook attachments
- Lose any git state

After restart, polecats can be respawned and will resume from their hooks.

Note: Crew workers are NOT stopped (they're user-managed).
