Add session beacon for predecessor discovery via /resume

Browse Source 
Inject an identity beacon as the first message when Gas Town starts Claude
sessions. This beacon becomes the session title in Claude Code '/resume
picker, enabling workers to find their predecessor sessions for debugging.

Beacon format: [GAS TOWN] <address> • <mol-id or "ready"> • <timestamp>

Examples:
- [GAS TOWN] gastown/crew/max • gt-abc12 • 2025-12-30T14:32
- [GAS TOWN] gastown/polecats/Toast • ready • 2025-12-30T09:15
- [GAS TOWN] deacon • patrol • 2025-12-30T08:00

Workers can now press / in /resume picker and search for their address
(e.g., "gastown/crew/max") to see all predecessor sessions.

Note: Respawn-loop agents (deacon/refinery via up.go) skip beacon injection
since Claude restarts multiple times - would need post-restart injection.
