delete the claude-done hook and its unauthenticated endpoint

The chain was: a Stop hook in Claude's settings curls POST /api/hooks/claude-done,
the platform POSTs /_officer/panel-refresh to the pty sidecar, the sidecar sends a
`panel-refresh` frame to every attached terminal, and the Claude Code panel bumps
`preview:refresh` and `files:refresh-signal`.

It has never fired. generateClaudeSettings writes settings.json into the MANAGED
home under DATA_PATH, but HOME_DIR points terminals at the owner's real login home
— which is where Claude reads its settings from. Verified on this machine: no
claude-done hook exists in ~/.claude/settings.json, and DATA_PATH/*/home/.claude
does not exist at all.

Deleting rather than repairing it, because the Chat panel already does exactly this
job from onTurnComplete — in-process, conditioned on the turn having made tool
calls, with no hook, no HTTP round trip, and no endpoint. The chat UI is where agent
work happens; the terminal TUI is not the destination.

Also removes /api/hooks/claude-done, which was mounted above protectedRouter and so
was the one unauthenticated write-ish endpoint on the API surface.
