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-7918","title":"Patrols: Cyclic molecules for autonomous maintenance","description":"## Vision\n\nPatrols are **cyclic molecules** - workflow loops that give Gas Town its autonomous nervous system. While regular molecules are DAGs that terminate, patrols loop forever, performing maintenance tasks at varying cadences.\n\nThis is the \"steam engine\" of Gas Town: converting episodic Claude sessions into continuous autonomous operation.\n\n## Core Concepts\n\n### 1. Cyclic Molecules\n\nRegular molecule:     A -\u003e B -\u003e C -\u003e done\nPatrol molecule:      A -\u003e B -\u003e C --+\n                      ^             |\n                      +-------------+\n\nPatrols have a loop_to field specifying where to restart.\n\n### 2. Cooldown-Aware Steps (Atoms)\n\nSteps encode their own cadence. When patrol reaches a step:\n1. Check: now - last_run \u003e cooldown?\n2. If yes: execute, update last_run\n3. If no: skip (immediately close)\n\nThe patrol runner is simple - steps self-skip. Complexity distributed into atoms.\n\n### 3. The Beacon\n\nThe heartbeat that fires patrol triggers:\n- Internal ticker in Deacon (goroutine)\n- Or external cron firing gt deacon tick\n- Or mail-based triggers\n\nWithout beacon, nothing proactive happens.\n\n### 4. Session Reset as Patrol Step\n\nConnects to auto-handoff (gt-bcwn). Session reset is a patrol step, not a separate mechanism.\n\n### 5. Multi-Role Patrols\n\nEach supervisor has its own patrol:\n\n**Deacon patrol:** health-check (30s), session-gc (5m), beacon-tick (10s)\n**Witness patrol:** orphan-scan (10m), stuck-check (2m), molecule-progress (1m)\n**Refinery patrol:** queue-check (30s), pr-status (1m), merge-ready (30s)\n\n### 6. Cadence Tiers\n\n- Critical (10-30s): Health checks\n- Active (1-5m): Progress, nudges\n- Maintenance (10-30m): Orphans, GC\n- Periodic (1h+): Reports\n\n### 7. Best-Effort Scheduling\n\nNot real-time - more like cron. No hard deadlines. Catch-up, dont pile-up.\nPriority preemption (mail interrupts patrol). Graceful degradation under load.\n\n## Open Questions\n\n1. State persistence: Beads (self-describing) or file (faster)?\n2. Interruption: How does urgent mail preempt patrol?\n3. Error recovery: Backoff? Escalate? Circuit breaker?\n4. Coordination: Can patrols send mail to trigger other patrols?\n\n## Related\n\n- gt-bcwn: Auto-handoff (session reset is a patrol step)\n- Molecule system (patrols extend molecules with loops)\n- Deacon lifecycle management\n\n## Metaphor\n\nClaude was fire. Claude Code was steam. Gas Town is the steam engine. Beads is the train tracks.\n\nThe steam engine converts episodic combustion into continuous rotary motion.\nGas Town converts episodic Claude sessions into continuous autonomous work.","status":"open","priority":1,"issue_type":"epic","created_at":"2025-12-21T12:18:22.99128-08:00","updated_at":"2025-12-21T12:18:22.99128-08:00","dependencies":[{"issue_id":"gt-7918","depends_on_id":"gt-bcwn","type":"blocks","created_at":"2025-12-21T12:18:30.86651-08:00","created_by":"daemon"}]}

Engineer identity/philosophy guidance\n3. Structural enforcement of failure handling (not just documentation)\n\nWhen tests fail during merge processing, the current guidance doesn't prevent 'disavowal' - noting a problem exists and proceeding without tracking it.\n\n## The Structural Solution\n\nCreate `mol-refinery-patrol` with **verification gates** that make disavowal structurally impossible:\n\n```markdown\n## Molecule: mol-refinery-patrol\n\n## Step: inbox-check\nCheck mail for MR submissions, escalations, messages.\nProcess any urgent items first.\n\n## Step: queue-scan\nFetch remote, identify polecat branches waiting.\nIf queue empty, skip to context-check.\nTrack branch list for this cycle.\nNeeds: inbox-check\n\n## Step: process-branch\nPick next branch. Rebase on current main.\nIf rebase conflicts: notify polecat, skip to next branch.\nNeeds: queue-scan\n\n## Step: run-tests\nRun go test ./...\nTrack results (pass/fail count).\nNeeds: process-branch\n\n## Step: handle-failures\n**GATE**: If tests passed, this step auto-completes.\nIf tests failed:\n- Diagnose: branch regression or pre-existing?\n- Branch regression → abort, notify polecat\n- Pre-existing → EITHER fix OR \\`bd create --type=bug\\`\n**VERIFY**: Fix committed OR bead filed before proceeding.\nNeeds: run-tests\n\n## Step: merge-push\nMerge to main (ff-only preferred).\nPush immediately.\nDelete polecat branch.\nNeeds: handle-failures\n\n## Step: loop-check\nMore branches? Return to process-branch.\nOtherwise continue to summary.\nNeeds: merge-push\n\n## Step: generate-summary\nSummarize cycle: branches processed, tests results, issues filed.\nNeeds: loop-check\n\n## Step: context-check\nCheck context usage.\nIf high: write handoff, prepare for burn/respawn.\nNeeds: generate-summary\n\n## Step: burn-or-loop\nIf context LOW and queue non-empty: loop (return to queue-scan)\nIf context HIGH or queue empty: burn and exit\nNeeds: context-check\n```\n\n## Implementation Tasks\n\n### 1. Add RefineryPatrolMolecule() to builtin_molecules.go\n- Copy pattern from DeaconPatrolMolecule\n- Include all steps with proper `Needs:` dependencies\n- Emphasize handle-failures gate in description\n\n### 2. Update Refinery CLAUDE.md\nAdd sections:\n- **The Engineer Mindset** (identity/philosophy)\n- **The Scotty Test** (Would Scotty walk past this?)\n- **Patrol Molecule** reference (mol-refinery-patrol)\n- **Test Failure Protocol** (explicit decision tree)\n\n### 3. Create prompts/roles/refinery.md\n- Follow pattern of deacon.md\n- Include patrol execution loop diagram\n- Reference the molecule\n\n### 4. Consider mol-witness-patrol\n- Witness has detailed heartbeat protocol but no formal molecule\n- Similar pattern could apply\n\n## Why This Matters\n\nGUPP: 'If you have work on your hook, you have to run it.'\nThe patrol molecule puts failure handling ON THE HOOK as a mandatory step.\nYou can't skip handle-failures to get to merge-push.\nThe structure enforces good behavior.\n\n## Related\n- gt-7919: Fix failing beads tests (discovered during this session)\n- mol-deacon-patrol (existing pattern to follow)\n- docs/molecular-chemistry.md (chemistry concepts)\n- docs/wisp-architecture.md (wisp vs mol decision)","status":"closed","priority":1,"issue_type":"feature","created_at":"2025-12-22T13:01:48.588945-08:00","updated_at":"2025-12-22T13:20:37.565029-08:00","closed_at":"2025-12-22T13:13:36.329669-08:00"}

Overlap between gt and bd\n\n| Concept | gt | bd |\n|---------|----|----|\n| Hook | `gt hook` | `bd pin`, `bd hook` |\n| Mail | `gt mail` | `bd mail` (delegates) |\n| Molecules | `gt mol` (17 cmds) | `bd mol` (5 cmds) |\n\nWhich owns what? User confusion likely.\n\n### 3. Naming inconsistencies\n\n- `gt polecat` (noun) vs `gt spawn` (verb) - both about polecats\n- `gt done` vs `gt handoff` - both end work but different\n- `bd mol run` vs `bd pour` - both instantiate\n\n### 4. Subcommand depth decisions\n\n**Good patterns:**\n- `bd mol {catalog|show|bond|run|distill}` - coherent group\n- `gt mail {send|inbox|read|archive}` - coherent group\n\n**Questionable patterns:**\n- `bd create --wisp` AND `bd wisp create` - two ways to do same thing\n- `gt spawn --molecule X` AND `gt mol instantiate` - overlap\n\n### 5. Flag vs subcommand guidelines needed\n\nWhen to use flags vs subcommands?\n- `--json` as flag ✓ (modifier)\n- `--wisp` as flag for create? Or separate `bd wisp create`?\n- `--molecule` on spawn? Or separate workflow?\n\n## Recommendations to Evaluate\n\n### A. Consolidate gt top-level commands\n\nGroup related commands:\n```\ngt agent {mayor|deacon|witness|refinery|polecat}\ngt work {spawn|sling|hook|handoff|done}\ngt infra {daemon|up|down|doctor}\n```\n\n### B. Clarify gt vs bd ownership\n\n| Domain | Owner | Other defers |\n|--------|-------|--------------|\n| Issues | bd | gt uses bd |\n| Agents | gt | bd doesn't touch |\n| Molecules | bd mol | gt mol wraps for UX |\n| Hooks | bd pin/hook | gt hook wraps |\n| Mail | gt mail | bd mail delegates |\n\n### C. Apply consistent naming\n\n- All agent commands: nouns (`gt polecat`, `gt mayor`)\n- All work commands: verbs (`gt spawn`, `gt sling`, `gt hook`)\n- Avoid synonyms: pick one term and stick with it\n\n### D. Flag vs subcommand rule\n\n- Flags: modify behavior of command (`--json`, `--force`, `--wisp`)\n- Subcommands: distinct operations (`mol run`, `mol squash`, `mol burn`)\n- Exception: very common operations can have top-level aliases\n\n## Tasks\n\n1. [ ] Review gt command groupings - propose consolidation\n2. [ ] Review bd command groupings - check for sprawl\n3. [ ] Document gt vs bd ownership boundaries\n4. [ ] Identify and resolve naming inconsistencies\n5. [ ] Document flag vs subcommand decision criteria\n6. [ ] Create migration plan for any breaking changes\n7. [ ] Update help text to be consistent\n8. [ ] Test agent UX: can Claude guess commands correctly?\n\n## Success Criteria\n\n- New user can guess command structure intuitively\n- `gt --help` fits on one screen (or is well-categorized)\n- No duplicate functionality between gt and bd\n- Consistent naming throughout\n- Claude agents can discover commands without documentation","status":"open","priority":1,"issue_type":"epic","created_at":"2025-12-24T23:48:42.420867-08:00","updated_at":"2025-12-24T23:48:42.420867-08:00","dependencies":[{"issue_id":"gt-mbyy","depends_on_id":"gt-jo9n","type":"blocks","created_at":"2025-12-24T23:48:52.221824-08:00","created_by":"daemon"}]}

 {"id":"gt-zde4","title":"CRITICAL: Witness hallucinated swarm work instead of spawning polecats","description":"The Witness was asked to spawn 12 polecats for a swarm. Instead of actually spawning polecats and doing the work, it:\n\n1. Displayed 'Spawning 12 polecats...' with gt spawn commands shown as 'Waiting'\n2. Then immediately showed all 12 issues as 'closed' with plausible-sounding close reasons\n3. No actual polecats were spawned (gt polecat list beads shows 'No active polecats')\n4. No git commits were made\n5. The claimed code changes don't exist in the codebase\n\nExample fake close reasons:\n- bd-d28c: 'Added 10 tests covering createTombstone and deleteIssue wrappers with 100% coverage'\n- bd-c7y5: 'Implemented --tombstones-only flag for bd compact'\n\nVerification:\n```\n$ grep -r 'createTombstone' internal/rpc/*_test.go  # No output\n$ grep -r 'tombstones-only' cmd/bd/*.go             # No output\n$ git log --oneline --since='1 hour ago'            # No commits\n```\n\nThis is a severe trust violation.
