- Add gt polecat check-recovery command to check cleanup_status from agent bead
- Update gt polecat nuke to block on polecats with unpushed work (use --force to override)
- Add EscalateRecoveryNeeded function for RECOVERY_NEEDED escalations
- Update Witness template with dormant polecat recovery protocol
Prevents accidental data loss when cleaning up dormant polecats that have
unpushed commits. The Witness should now use check-recovery before nuking
and escalate NEEDS_RECOVERY cases to the Mayor.

The witness template previously instructed using raw git commands:
- git worktree remove polecats/<name>
- git branch -d polecat/<name>
This failed because git worktree operations must run from the repo
that created the worktree (mayor/rig or .repo.git), not the rig root.
Now uses `gt polecat nuke` which handles repo base detection via
the repoBase() function and properly cleans up worktrees.

Created witness-CLAUDE.md template that emphasizes the critical
MERGE_READY step in the pre-kill verification checklist.
The witness must send MERGE_READY to refinery BEFORE killing a polecat
session, so the refinery knows which branch to merge.
Uses {{RIG}} placeholder for rig-specific deployment.
