Dane Sabo d2997c2861 plant-model: add shutdown/heatup/scram controllers and LQR, linearize
Fill out the DRC mode set with ctrl_shutdown (u = -5*beta), ctrl_scram
(u = -8*beta), and ctrl_heatup (feedback-linearizing P on ramped T_avg
reference, saturated u, no integrator). Add ctrl_operation_lqr as a
full-state-feedback counterpart to ctrl_operation — K cached, closed-loop
essentially perfect under the 100%->80% Q_sg step where plain P has ~5F
overshoot.

Add pke_linearize for numerical (A, B, B_w) Jacobians at any operating
point; test_linearize confirms ~4e-4 rel err vs nonlinear sim for a
5% Q_sg step. Extend pke_solver with an optional x0 argument so each
mode can start from a plausible IC.

main_mode_sweep.m exercises all five modes back-to-back and saves the
4-panel plots. CLAUDE.md updated with model-validity-range note (trust
region is ~+/-50C around operating point; true cold shutdown is out of
scope for the linear feedback coefficients).

Hacker-Split: build out control layer end-to-end for reachability.

function u = ctrl_scram(t, x, plant, ref)
% CTRL_SCRAM Emergency shutdown: max negative rod worth inserted.
%
% Applies the full scram rod worth instantaneously. In a real plant the
% rods free-fall in ~2-3 seconds; this idealized version steps to the
% final worth at t = t_scram. Good enough for first-pass reachability,
% conservative for safety arguments (faster insertion => less excursion).
%
% u = -8 * beta (~8 $, in the typical 8-10 $ regulatory band)
%
% Same feedback-linearization comment as ctrl_shutdown: this dominates
% any plausible feedback the reactor can produce en route from any
% power/temperature state.
%
% Inputs:
% t, x, plant, ref - standard signature; all unused here.
u = -8 * plant.beta;
