Rewrite the -count=1 note to match the current files (closes #77)

The note under the canonical Go `make test` example in `prompts/REPO_POLICIES.md` still named the cache-busting build argument that `--no-cache` replaced, and said Go's cache was baked into earlier image layers.

It now says where Go's test result cache can replay a pass: on a developer's machine, where the Makefile target runs, so `-count=1` stays on both invocations. The `test` phase of the `Dockerfile` has nothing to replay: its base image holds no result for the repo's tests and no earlier step runs one.

The first paragraph no longer says the rerun would replay a failure: Go stores only passes.

 # Completed Steps
 
+- 2026-10-04: Rewrote the note under the canonical Go `make test` example in
+  `REPO_POLICIES.md` (issue 77), which still named the cache-busting build
+  argument that `--no-cache` replaced. It now says where Go's test result cache
+  can replay a pass: on a developer's machine, where the Makefile target runs,
+  and not in the `test` phase of the `Dockerfile`, whose base image and earlier
+  steps hold no result for the repo's tests.
 - 2026-10-03: Fixed two defects in the canonical Go `Dockerfile` example (issue
   73). The test phase now uses the Debian Go image, since `-race` needs cgo and
   the alpine image has no C compiler, so the phase failed before running a test.
