mayor 4deeba6304 docs(templates): strengthen lifecycle guidance to prevent idle waiting ...

Updated polecat and crew templates to more explicitly address the
"waiting for approval" anti-pattern. LLMs naturally want to pause
and confirm before taking action, but Gas Town requires autonomous
execution.

Polecat template:
- Added "The Specific Failure Mode" section describing the exact
  anti-pattern (complete work, write summary, wait)
- Added "The Self-Cleaning Model" section explaining done=gone
- Strengthened DO NOT list with explicit approval-seeking examples

Crew template:
- Added "The Approval Fallacy" section at the top
- Explains that there is no approval step in Gas Town
- Lists specific anti-patterns to avoid

These changes address the root cause of polecats sitting idle after
completing work instead of running `gt done`.
