Previously, `bd agent state <agent> <state>` would fail if the agent bead
didn't exist in the database. This caused issues when `gt sling` tried to
update agent state for newly spawned polecats.
Now when the agent doesn't exist:
1. Parse role_type and rig from the agent ID (e.g., gt-gastown-polecat-nux)
2. Auto-create the agent bead with type=agent
3. Add role_type and rig labels for filtering (bd list --label=role_type:polecat)
4. Continue with the state update
This enables:
- Work history accumulation per polecat name
- Skill/success tracking over time
- `bd list --type=agent` to see all agents
