bernstein stop

bernstein stop [OPTIONS]

Stop all agents and the task server. Default (soft stop): writes SHUTDOWN signal files so agents can save their work, waits up to ``--timeout`` seconds, saves session state, returns claimed tickets to open, then kills remaining processes with SIGTERM. With ``--force`` / ``--hard``: skips signal files and waiting, kills everything immediately with SIGKILL, then does best-effort session save and ticket recovery.
