docs: document polecat lifecycle (session/sandbox/slot layers)
...
Clarifies the three distinct lifecycle layers to prevent confusion:
- Session (Claude context): ephemeral, cycles per step
- Sandbox (worktree): persistent until nuke
- Slot (name from pool): persistent until nuke
Addresses anti-patterns like "idle polecats" and misunderstanding
what recycling means. (gt-bc6gm)

- README.md: User-focused, top-down intro (268 lines)
- docs/reference.md: Technical reference (280 lines)
Key changes:
- Top-down structure (formulas first, not beads)
- Bullets/tables over prose
- Human commands (start/shutdown/attach) vs agent commands
- All 6 roles documented (Overseer through Polecat)
- Ice-9/protomolecule easter eggs for the Expanse/Vonnegut fans
- Prefix-based beads routing explanation

Simplify Witness patrol: linear + Task tool, no Christmas Ornament (gt-p3v5n)
...
Design pivot:
- Remove mol-polecat-arm and dynamic bonding pattern
- Replace with linear patrol (Deacon-style) + Task tool parallelism
- Cleanup wisps as finalizers (marker wisp = pending cleanup)
- Discovery over tracking (no persistent nudge counts)
New docs:
- polecat-lifecycle.md: step-based restart model, evolution path
- witness-patrol-design.md: simplified, terse
Closed obsolete issues: gt-p3v5n.1 through gt-p3v5n.4
