feat: opt-in polecat self-terminate after gt done
Add `polecat_self_terminate` config option (default: false) under operational.daemon. When enabled, polecats kill their session 3s after gt done instead of transitioning to IDLE. Config: settings/config.json → operational.daemon.polecat_self_terminate: true This is opt-in to preserve the existing persistent polecat model while allowing operators who run at scale (10-30 concurrent polecats) to use disposable polecats with fresh context windows per task.
