[Gastown] Polecats repeatedly stage deletion of all files in shared main repo worktree #2811

What happened?

This has now happened twice in rig 1f6afc83-569a-4104-86c7-274421b2c86a (KeystrokeMaster). A polecat stages deletion of ALL project files in the shared /repo worktree (the main branch worktree used for merges), blocking all subsequent merges. The refinery correctly detects and escalates. Manual recovery: git restore --staged . && git restore . in the repo worktree. The convoy branch itself is unaffected — only the shared worktree is corrupted. Likely cause: a polecat runs git rm -r . or similar in the /repo worktree instead of its own feature worktree. This appears to be a systematic issue, not a one-off.
