 {"id":"gt-fqcz","title":"Add gate timeout tracking and notification","description":"Implement timeout and notification logic for gates.\n\n## Timeout Behavior\n1. Gate created with timeout (e.g., 30m)\n2. Deacon tracks elapsed time during patrol\n3. If timeout reached:\n   - Notify all waiters: 'Gate timed out'\n   - Close gate with timeout reason\n   - Waiter can retry, escalate, or fail gracefully\n\n## Notification\n- Use gt mail send to notify waiters\n- Include gate ID, await type, and reason in message\n- Support multiple waiters notification\n\n## Moved from beads\nOriginally bd-ykqu. Gate notifications are Deacon's job in gastown.","status":"open","priority":2,"issue_type":"task","created_at":"2025-12-23T12:19:18.268978-08:00","updated_at":"2025-12-23T12:19:18.268978-08:00","dependencies":[{"issue_id":"gt-fqcz","depends_on_id":"gt-dh65","type":"blocks","created_at":"2025-12-23T12:19:32.873641-08:00","created_by":"stevey"}]}
