fix(spawn): use rig-level beads instead of mayor/rig path

Browse Source 
The spawn command and polecat manager were incorrectly looking for beads
in <rig>/mayor/rig/.beads instead of <rig>/.beads. This caused:
- `gt spawn --issue ga-xxp` to fail with "no issue found" even when
  `bd show ga-xxp` worked from the rig directory
- Polecats couldn't find rig-level issues (with ga- prefix) because
  mayor/rig has a different beads database (with gt- prefix)

This fix:
- spawn.go: Use r.Path instead of filepath.Join(r.Path, "mayor", "rig")
- polecat/manager.go: Use r.Path for beads.New() initialization
- session/manager.go: Use r.Path/.beads for BEADS_DIR environment

Closes beads-2nh

Verify harness structure (mayor/, .beads/, CLAUDE.md exist)\n2. Validate config files (town.json, rigs.json parse correctly)\n3. Check beads health (bd doctor, redirect validity)\n4. Verify git state (clean working tree, proper remotes)\n5. Check rig integrity (each registered rig exists, has config.json)\n6. Validate agent clones (mayor/rig/, refinery/rig/ exist and are valid)\n7. Check for orphaned worktrees/branches\n8.

Git State Corruption\n\n**Scenario**: Merge conflict, failed rebase, detached HEAD\n\n**Detection**:\n- Git commands fail\n- Dirty state that won't commit\n- Branch diverged from origin\n\n**Recovery**:\n- gt doctor reports git health issues\n- Manual intervention recommended\n- Severe cases: remove clone, re-clone\n\n### 3. Beads Sync Conflict\n\n**Scenario**: Two polecats modify same issue\n\n**Detection**:\n- bd sync fails with conflict\n- Beads tombstone mechanism handles most cases\n\n**Recovery**:\n- Beads has last-write-wins semantics\n- bd sync --force in extreme cases\n- Issues may need manual dedup\n\n### 4. Tmux Failure\n\n**Scenario**: Tmux server crashes, socket issues\n\n**Detection**:\n- All sessions inaccessible\n- \"no server running\" errors\n\n**Recovery**:\n- Kill any orphan processes\n- tmux kill-server \u0026\u0026 tmux start-server\n- All agent states reset to idle\n- Re-spawn active work\n\n### 5. Claude API Issues\n\n**Scenario**: Rate limits, outages, context limits\n\n**Detection**:\n- Sessions hang or produce errors\n- Repeated failure patterns\n\n**Recovery**:\n- Exponential backoff (handled by Claude Code)\n- For context limits: session cycling (mail-to-self)\n- For outages: wait and retry\n\n### 6. Disk Full\n\n**Scenario**: Clones, logs, or beads fill disk\n\n**Detection**:\n- Write operations fail\n- git/bd commands error\n\n**Recovery**:\n- Clean up logs: rm ~/.gastown/logs/*\n- Remove old polecat clones\n- gt doctor --fix can clean some cruft\n\n### 7. Network Failure\n\n**Scenario**: Can't reach GitHub, API servers\n\n**Detection**:\n- git fetch/push fails\n- Claude sessions hang\n\n**Recovery**:\n- Work continues locally\n- Queue pushes for later\n- Sync when connectivity restored\n\n## Recovery Principles\n\n1. **Fail safe**: Prefer stopping over corrupting\n2. **State is recoverable**: Git and beads have recovery mechanisms\n3. **Doctor heals**: gt doctor --fix handles common issues\n4. **Emergency stop**: gt stop --all as last resort\n5. **Human escalation**: Some failures need Overseer intervention\n\n## Implementation\n\n- Document each failure mode in architecture.md\n- Ensure doctor checks cover detection\n- Add recovery hints to error messages\n- Log all failures for debugging","status":"open","priority":1,"issue_type":"task","created_at":"2025-12-15T23:19:07.198289-08:00","updated_at":"2025-12-15T23:19:28.171942-08:00"}
