Will Pfleger 965e1997b5 fix(agents): stop built-in prompts from teaching sleep polling (#7992)
An @mention wakes an agent only once its running tool call returns, so
agents that loop `sleep` + `buzz messages get` (or poll CI) delay every
reply that arrives in the meantime. Buzz's own prompts taught that loop.

- `crates/buzz-acp/src/base_prompt.md`: replace "No push notifications —
poll with …" with a rule to never use a tool call (`sleep`, `--watch`)
to wait on CI, teammates, or other external events; hand off and end the
turn. `buzz messages get --since` stays as a one-shot catch-up. "keep
working until you publish the verified result" now reads "the result,
handoff, …" so agents stop reading it as wait-for-green-CI.
- `desktop/src-tauri/src/managed_agents/nest_skill.md`: the "Polling
Pattern" sleep-and-repeat loop becomes a "Catching Up" one-shot
`--since` read.
