Toggle pause on the current session.

## Usage

```
/vibe-guide:stop
```

## Examples

```
/vibe-guide:stop
```

Pauses the session. Run again to resume.

## Execution Steps

### Step 1: Check Session Exists

If `.vibe/session.json` doesn't exist:

```
No active vibe session to pause.
```

### Step 2: Toggle Stop Flag

Read `.vibe/session.json`:

- If `stop` is false, set to true
- If `stop` is true, set to false

Write updated session.json.

### Step 3: Update Status

Update `.vibe/status.json`:

- If now paused: set `phase` to "paused", update `step_title` to "Session paused"
- If now resumed: restore previous phase (read from changelog context)

### Step 4: Run Explainer

Invoke `vibe-explainer` to confirm the pause/resume.
