 {"id":"gt-09i4","title":"Unify tmux session lifecycle: prefer exec-over-shell pattern","description":"## Context\n\nWhen `gt crew at` is run from INSIDE the target session, it uses `execClaude()` which\nreplaces the shell with Claude directly. This is actually preferable behavior:\n- Cleaner exit (no intermediate shell prompt)\n- More reliable for programmatic worker recycling\n- Better UX for humans\n\nBut currently this only happens accidentally when you run `gt crew at` while already\nin the session at a shell prompt.\n\n## Current behavior\n\n1. Session created: `tmux new-session` starts with shell\n2. Claude started via `send-keys` → shell spawns claude as child\n3. Exit claude → return to shell → exit shell → session ends\n\nWith exec path (only if already in session):\n1. `execClaude()` replaces shell with claude\n2. Exit claude → session ends (no intermediate shell)\n\n## Desired behavior\n\nConsider making exec-the-shell the DEFAULT for all crew/persistent sessions:\n- Spawn session with shell\n- Wait for ready\n- Use `respawn-pane -k` with claude command (kills shell, starts claude directly)\n\nThis gives the cleaner lifecycle without requiring the user to be inside the session.\n\n## Related\n\nPart of tmux control plane unification - ability to manage workers from any session.","status":"open","priority":2,"issue_type":"task","created_at":"2025-12-24T14:24:34.371414-08:00","updated_at":"2025-12-24T14:24:34.371414-08:00"}

 {"id":"gt-gaxo","title":"ZFC Cleanup: Move Go heuristics to Deacon molecule","description":"Remove Go code that makes workflow decisions. All health checking, staleness \ndetection, nudging, and escalation belongs in the Deacon molecule where Claude \nexecutes it once per minute.\n\n## The Problem\n\nGo code currently implements polling-based health inference:\n- Daemon watches heartbeats with hardcoded thresholds\n- Decides if agents are \"stuck\" based on timestamps  \n- Sends nudges, triggers restarts\n- Parses mail subjects with regex to extract intent\n\nThis is a ZFC violation. Go should be message transport, not decision-maker.\n\n## The Fix\n\nMove all health/oversight logic to Deacon patrol molecule:\n- Deacon runs once per minute\n- Claude reads molecule steps, executes them\n- Claude decides if agents are stuck (by checking mail, activity, etc.)\n- Claude sends nudges/escalations via mail\n- Go just routes messages\n\n## Scope\n\n1. daemon/daemon.go - heartbeat staleness logic\n2. daemon/backoff.go - exponential backoff decisions\n3. daemon/lifecycle.go - regex parsing of lifecycle intent\n4. keepalive/keepalive.go - staleness thresholds\n5. deacon/heartbeat.go - heartbeat age classification\n6. doctor/stale_check.go - staleness detection\n7. polecat/manager.go - state derivation from issues\n\n## Success Criteria\n\n- Go code has no hardcoded time.Duration for health decisions\n- No regex parsing of mail subjects for intent\n- No switch statements deciding agent state\n- Deacon molecule has all oversight logic\n- Go daemon is just a message router","status":"closed","priority":1,"issue_type":"epic","created_at":"2025-12-23T23:58:18.684884-08:00","updated_at":"2025-12-24T00:23:53.320194-08:00","closed_at":"2025-12-24T00:23:53.320194-08:00","close_reason":"All ZFC cleanup tasks complete"}
