Polecats were not calling `gt done` after completing work because
the compact PRIME.md context (used after compaction or when the
SessionStart hook is the only context) was missing this critical step.
The Session Close Protocol listed steps 1-6 (git status, add, bd sync,
commit, bd sync, push) but omitted step 7 (`gt done`), which:
- Submits work to the merge queue
- Exits the polecat session
- Allows the witness to spawn new polecats for remaining work
Without `gt done`, polecats would push code and announce "done" but
remain idle in their sessions, blocking the workflow cascade.
