fix(mayor): match handoff priming for gt may at startup (hq-osbot)

Browse Source 
When starting Mayor via 'gt may at', the session now:
1. Works from townRoot (~/gt) instead of mayorDir (~/gt/mayor)
2. Includes startup beacon with explicit instructions in initial prompt
3. Removes redundant post-start nudges (beacon has instructions)

This matches the 'gt handoff' behavior where the agent immediately
knows to check hook and mail on startup.

Fixes: hq-h3449 (P0 escalation - horrendous starting UX)
