pass --all to stop all fleet work

Error message

pass --all to stop all fleet work

What it means

Guard inside the `fleet stop` subcommand (FleetCommand::Stop). Stopping is fleet-wide: it calls manager.stop_all() and kills work for every run, so the CLI refuses a bare `codewhale fleet stop` unless the explicit `--all` acknowledgement flag is passed. Nothing has been stopped when this fires; it is a pure usage guard, not a runtime failure.

Solutions

1. Re-run as `codewhale fleet stop --all` when you really mean to stop all fleet work
2. To affect a single run, use the run-id-scoped fleet controls rather than stop — stop is deliberately fleet-wide
3. Update scripts and docs to always carry `--all` so intent is explicit

Example fix

// before
$ codewhale fleet stop
Error: pass --all to stop all fleet work

// after
$ codewhale fleet stop --all
stopped: 3

# wrapper: refuse a bare `fleet stop` before codewhale ever runs
if [ "$1" = fleet ] && [ "$2" = stop ]; then
  case " $3 $4 $5 " in *' --all '*) ;; *) echo 'refusing: fleet stop requires --all' >&2; exit 2;; esac
fi
exec codewhale "$@"

When it happens

Trigger: Executing `codewhale fleet stop` without `--all` (FleetCommand::Stop { all: false }). Per-run operations exist elsewhere (e.g. FleetResume takes a run_id), so users often assume stop also accepts a run id — it does not.

Common situations: Muscle memory from per-run fleet commands (resume with a run id); copy-pasted scripts written before the confirmation flag was added; CI cleanup jobs that call bare `fleet stop`.
