refactor(ai): extract testable polish prompt, guard against empty input

- Extract prompt text into buildPolishPrompt() in polish-prompt.ts (no server-only),
  matching the pattern used by batch.ts/buildBatchPrompt and narrative.ts/buildNarrativePrompt
  so the prompt itself is unit testable.
- Add MAX_NOTE_LENGTH guard to truncate excessively long notes before polishing.
- Add early-return guard against empty input (non-retryable error).
- Run getProvider() and getSystemPrompt() concurrently via Promise.all().
- Document that polishNote() throws (foreground user-initiated action).
