feat(witness): Implement Witness as Claude agent (gt-xicq)

Convert the Witness from a Go polling loop to a Claude agent with:

- Enhanced witness.md.tmpl with detailed agent instructions:
  - Startup protocol for checking handoffs and polecat status
  - Lifecycle request processing (verify git state, cleanup)
  - Health check protocol for detecting stuck polecats
  - Nudge protocol with 3-strike escalation
  - Escalation protocol for unresolvable issues
  - Session cycling with handoff mail

- Updated gt witness attach to:
  - Create sessions in <rig>/witness/ directory for proper role detection
  - Ensure witness directory exists

- Added startup directive for Witness role in gt prime
