feat(witness): Implement ephemeral polecat model for immediate recycling (#81)

Browse Source

Updates HandlePolecatDone to auto-nuke polecats immediately after MR submission
when cleanup_status=clean. This separates polecat lifecycle from MR lifecycle:

- Polecat lifecycle: spawning → working → mr_submitted → nuked
- MR lifecycle: created → queued → processed → merged (handled by Refinery)

Key changes:
- Try auto-nuke for ALL POLECAT_DONE messages regardless of MR status
- If cleanup_status=clean (branch pushed), nuke immediately
- If dirty state, create cleanup wisp for manual intervention
- Cleanup wisps are now exception handling, not the normal flow

Conflict resolution is handled by the Refinery, which creates NEW tasks
for NEW polecats when merge conflicts are detected.
