docs: add beads config, ASCII layout, and direct landing to architecture

Browse Source 
- Add beads multi-agent configuration table (daemon/worktree/sync-branch)
- Add ASCII directory layout for non-mermaid rendering
- Document direct landing workflow (bypass merge queue)
- Add design decisions 9 (direct landing) and 10 (daemon awareness)
- Add CLI commands for gt land and merge queue

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.

Polecats have direct beads write access and file their own issues.
#### Beads Configuration for Multi-Agent
Gas Town uses beads in a **shared database** configuration where all agents in a rig share one `.beads/` directory. This requires careful configuration:
| Agent Type | BEADS_DIR | BEADS_NO_DAEMON | sync-branch | Notes |
|------------|-----------|-----------------|-------------|-------|
| Polecat (worktree) | rig/.beads | **YES (required)** | recommended | Daemon can't handle worktrees |
| Polecat (full clone) | rig/.beads | Optional | recommended | Daemon safe but sync-branch helps |
| Refinery | rig/.beads | No | optional | Owns main, daemon is fine |
| Witness | rig/.beads | No | optional | Read-mostly access |
| Mayor | rig/.beads | No | optional | Infrequent access |
**Critical: Worktrees require no-daemon mode.** The beads daemon doesn't know which branch each worktree has checked out, and can commit/push to the wrong branch.
**Environment setup when spawning agents:**
```bash
# For worktree polecats (REQUIRED)
export BEADS_DIR=/path/to/rig/.beads
export BEADS_NO_DAEMON=1
# For full-clone polecats (recommended)
export BEADS_DIR=/path/to/rig/.beads
# Daemon is safe, but consider sync-branch for coordination
# Rig beads config.yaml should include:
sync-branch: beads-sync # Separate branch for beads commits
```
**Why sync-branch?** When multiple agents share a beads database, using a dedicated sync branch prevents beads commits from interleaving with code commits on feature branches.

#### Direct Landing (Bypass Merge Queue)
Sometimes Mayor needs to land a polecat's work directly, skipping the Refinery:
| Scenario | Use Direct Landing? |
|----------|---------------------|
| Single polecat, simple change | Yes |
| Urgent hotfix | Yes |
| Refinery unavailable | Yes |
| Multiple polecats, potential conflicts | No - use Refinery |
| Complex changes needing review | No - use Refinery |
**Commands:**
```bash
# Normal flow (through Refinery)
gt merge-queue add <rig> <polecat> # Polecat signals PR ready
gt refinery process <rig> # Refinery processes queue
# Direct landing (Mayor bypasses Refinery)
gt land --direct <rig>/<polecat> # Land directly to main
gt land --direct --force <rig>/<polecat> # Skip safety checks
gt land --direct --skip-tests <rig>/<polecat> # Skip test run
gt land --direct --dry-run <rig>/<polecat> # Preview only
```
**Direct landing workflow:**
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant M as 🎩 Mayor
participant R as Refinery Clone
participant P as Polecat Branch
participant B as 📦 Beads
M->>M: Verify polecat session terminated
M->>P: Check git state clean
M->>R: Fetch polecat branch
M->>R: Merge to main (fast-forward or merge commit)
M->>R: Run tests (optional)
M->>R: Push to origin
M->>B: Close associated issue
M->>P: Delete polecat branch (cleanup)
```
**Safety checks (skippable with --force):**
1. Polecat session must be terminated
2. Git working tree must be clean
3. No merge conflicts with main
4. Tests pass (skippable with --skip-tests)
**When direct landing makes sense:**
- Mayor is doing sequential, non-swarming work (like GGT scaffolding)
- Single worker completed an isolated task
- Hotfix needs to land immediately
- Refinery agent is down or unavailable
### Polecat
Polecats are the workers that do actual implementation:

**See also**: beads issue `bd-411u` for documentation of this pattern.
### 9. Direct Landing Option
**Decision**: Mayor can land polecat work directly, bypassing the Refinery merge queue.
**Rationale**:
- **Flexibility**: Not all work needs merge queue overhead
- **Sequential work**: Mayor doing non-swarming work (like GGT scaffolding) shouldn't need Refinery
- **Emergency path**: Hotfixes can land immediately
- **Resilience**: System works even if Refinery is down
**Constraints**:
- Direct landing still uses Refinery's clone as the canonical main
- Safety checks prevent landing dirty or conflicting work
- Mayor takes responsibility for quality (no Refinery review)
**Commands**:
```bash
gt land --direct <rig>/<polecat> # Standard direct land
gt land --direct --force <rig>/<polecat> # Skip safety checks
```
### 10. Beads Daemon Awareness
**Decision**: Gas Town must disable the beads daemon for worktree-based polecats.
**Rationale**:
- The beads daemon doesn't track which branch each worktree has checked out
- Daemon can commit beads changes to the wrong branch
- This is a beads limitation, not a Gas Town bug
- Full clones don't have this problem
**Configuration**:
```bash
# For worktree polecats (REQUIRED)
export BEADS_NO_DAEMON=1
# For full-clone polecats (optional)
# Daemon is safe, no special config needed
```
