- PR #42164: fix(tui): point busy-guard errors at Ctrl+C, not the unregistered /interrupt

A bug where UI elements (desktop stop-button popup, TUI error messages) instructed users to run /interrupt, which was not a registered command. Related work covers registering /interrupt, fixing busy-state messaging across desktop/TUI/gateway, and making the /busy command available on non-CLI platforms.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_PARTIAL`): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
- Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
- Pairwise link density `0.24`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.
