Merge pull request 'feat(reviewer): fail closed on dirty worktrees and forbidden git cleanup (closes #233)' (#234) from feat/issue-233-reviewer-worktree-gate into master

Add reviewer_worktree proofs that block stash/reset/checkout -- cleanup of
unrelated local files, require scratch worktree reporting when the main tree
is dirty outside PR scope, and integrate the gate into final report grading
and Controller Handoff review fields.
