Add `gate` issue type to beads\n2. Add gate fields: await_type, await_id, timeout, waiters\n3. Implement `bd gate create/show/list/close/wait` commands\n4. Add gate checking to Deacon patrol loop\n5. Implement await type handlers (gh:run, gh:pr, timer, human, mail)\n6. Add gate timeout tracking and notification\n7. Integration test: agent waits for CI via gate\n\n## Open Questions\n\n- Should gates live in wisp storage or main storage with wisp flag?\n- Do we need a gate catalog (like molecule catalog)?\n- Should `waits-for` dep type work with gates?","status":"open","priority":1,"issue_type":"epic","created_at":"2025-12-24T19:19:17.774543-08:00","updated_at":"2025-12-24T19:19:17.774543-08:00"}

Molecules don't get a separate YAML format - they're issues with `type: molecule` containing prose-based step definitions.\n\nAgents don't need rigid schemas. They parse natural language natively. A molecule is just instructions with enough structure for tooling.\n\n## Example: Engineer in a Box\n\n```markdown\nid: mol-xyz\ntype: molecule\ntitle: Engineer in a Box\n\nThis workflow takes a task from design to merge.\n\n## Step: design\nThink carefully about architecture. Consider existing patterns, \ntrade-offs, testability.\n\n## Step: implement\nWrite clean code. Follow codebase conventions.\nNeeds: design\n\n## Step: review \nReview for bugs, edge cases, style issues.\nNeeds: implement\n\n## Step: test\nWrite and run tests. Cover happy path and edge cases.\nNeeds: implement\n\n## Step: submit\nSubmit for merge via refinery.\nNeeds: review, test\n```\n\n## Instantiation\n\n```bash\n# Attach molecule when spawning\ngt spawn --issue gt-abc --molecule mol-xyz\n\n# Creates child beads atomically:\ngt-abc.design ← ready first\ngt-abc.implement ← blocked by design \ngt-abc.review ← blocked by implement\ngt-abc.test ← blocked by implement\ngt-abc.submit ← blocked by review, test\n```\n\nEach step issue gets an `instantiated-from` edge to the molecule (with step metadata).\n\n## Why This Matters\n\n1. **Unified data plane**: Everything in Beads, no parallel YAML channel\n2. **AI-native**: Prose instructions, not rigid schemas\n3. **Error isolation**: Each step is a checkpoint - failure doesn't lose progress\n4. **Scales with AI**: As agents get smarter, they handle more complex molecules\n\n## Implementation Primitives\n\n- `ParseMoleculeSteps()`: Extract steps from prose (convention-based)\n- `InstantiateMolecule()`: Atomic transaction creating all steps + edges \n- `instantiated-from` edge type: Track provenance\n- Parameterization: `{{variable}}` substitution from context map","status":"closed","priority":0,"issue_type":"epic","created_at":"2025-12-18T18:06:24.573068-08:00","updated_at":"2025-12-19T14:44:59.705427-08:00","closed_at":"2025-12-19T14:44:59.705427-08:00"}

Fresh gt install should create ~/gt/.beads-wisp/\n2. gt doctor should pass with no rig installed\n3. Deacon patrol should work without gastown rig\n4. gt sling patrol deacon/ --wisp should route to town wisps","status":"closed","priority":1,"issue_type":"bug","created_at":"2025-12-23T14:28:03.636334-08:00","updated_at":"2025-12-24T00:18:03.046394-08:00","closed_at":"2025-12-23T19:37:56.701806-08:00","close_reason":"Implemented town-level wisp storage for deacon patrol"}

{"id":"gt-id36","title":"Deacon Kernel: event processing molecule architecture","description":"\nExtend the Deacon from \"health orchestrator\" to \"event processing kernel\" that runs a \nmolecule (rounds) each wake cycle, like an OS kernel scheduler.\n\n## Core Insight\n\nThe Deacon already has:\n- Wake cycle (daemon poke, timer, lifecycle request)\n- Mail as event queue\n- Health scanning\n- Lifecycle processing\n\nBut it is REACTIVE. This epic makes it PROACTIVE with a structured molecule:\n\n```\nDeacon Wake\n├── Step 0: Session Check (should I cycle myself?)\n├── Step 1: Health Scan (Mayor, Witnesses, Crew, Refineries)\n├── Step 2: Lifecycle Processing (cycle/restart/shutdown requests)\n├── Step 3: Plugin Execution (scheduled, event-triggered, human-requested)\n├── Step 4: Event Callbacks (timers, subscriptions)\n└── Step 5: Heartbeat + Wait\n```\n\n## Key Design Decisions\n\n1. **Session cycling first** - Token costs are quadratic with session length.\n Deacon should aggressively cycle to fresh sessions. First step of every\n wake is \"do I need a new session?\" based on context budget.\n\n2. **Pinned bead with marching orders** - A pinned bead (like gt prime for\n agents) defines the Deacon's rounds molecule. This is the Deacon's\n \"kernel\" - its operating loop.\n\n3. **Keepalive file for daemon quieting** - Instead of daemon tmux-poking\n the Deacon (which interrupts work), Deacon writes a keepalive file.\n Daemon reads it and backs off. Worst case: Deacon forgets, gets one\n extra heartbeat it squelches.\n\n4. **Molecule-based rounds** - The wake cycle becomes a molecule with steps.\n Each step can have plugins (inline attention). Steps can be added/modified\n by updating the pinned bead.\n\n## Architecture\n\n```\nGo Daemon (minimal, dumb)\n├── Reads {townRoot}/deacon/keepalive.json\n├── If fresh: do nothing\n├── If stale: poke Deacon (fallback)\n└── Process lifecycle requests (still daemon's job)\n\nDeacon (Claude agent, smart)\n├── Wakes: poke, timer, mail event\n├── Writes keepalive (quiets daemon for duration of rounds)\n├── Runs rounds molecule:\n│ ├── session-check: cycle if context budget low\n│ ├── health-scan: check agents, remediate\n│ ├── lifecycle: process requests\n│ ├── plugins: run scheduled/triggered plugins\n│ ├── events: process timer/event callbacks\n│ └── complete: update heartbeat, wait\n└── Reads marching orders from pinned bead\n```\n\n## Relation to Existing Work\n\n- Extends gt-5af (Deacon infrastructure) - CLOSED\n- Relates to gt-axz (Plugin architecture) - P3\n- Fits into phase3-deacon of gt-ngpz (Christmas Plan)\n- Enables gt-976 (Crew lifecycle) as part of health-scan step\n","status":"open","priority":1,"issue_type":"epic","created_at":"2025-12-20T21:46:08.076178-08:00","updated_at":"2025-12-20T21:46:08.076178-08:00","dependencies":[{"issue_id":"gt-id36","depends_on_id":"gt-976","type":"blocks","created_at":"2025-12-20T21:48:05.215593-08:00","created_by":"daemon"}]}

{"id":"gt-qvn7.1","title":"Phase 1: Slinging Handoff","description":"# Phase 1: Slinging Handoff\n\nThe restart-and-resume loop. This is the fundamental propulsion mechanism.\n\n## What It Does\n\n```bash\ngt sling gt-xxx\n```\n\n1. Creates a wisp on the agent's hook containing the bead\n2. Sends handoff mail (optional context)\n3. Triggers session restart (daemon SIGUSR1 or direct respawn)\n4. Fresh Claude wakes up\n5. SessionStart hook runs `gt prime`\n6. Agent reads hook → finds the slung bead\n7. Agent executes the work\n\n## Why Wisp, Not Mol\n\nThe sling is ephemeral scaffolding. It says \"run this bead\" - nothing more.\nOnce the work is picked up, the wisp can be burned. No permanent record needed\nfor the handoff wrapper itself; the actual work is tracked in the bead.\n\n## Implementation\n\n### gt sling command\n\n```go\n// cmd: gt sling \u003cbead-id\u003e [-s subject] [-m message]\nfunc sling(beadID string, subject, message string) {\n // 1.

Trigger restart\n // - For crew: just exit (human restarts)\n // - For polecats: signal daemon (SIGUSR1)\n // - For deacon: signal daemon (SIGUSR1)\n}\n```\n\n### Hook Reading in gt prime\n\n```go\n// In gt prime, after loading context:\nfunc checkHook(agent string) *SlungWork {\n wispPath := \".beads-wisp/hook-\" + agent + \".wisp.yaml\"\n if exists(wispPath) {\n return parseWisp(wispPath)\n }\n return nil\n}\n```\n\n### Agent Response to Slung Work\n\nWhen agent wakes and finds slung work:\n\n1. Read the wisp: `hook-\u003cagent\u003e.wisp.yaml`\n2. Get the bead ID\n3. Show the bead: `bd show \u003cbead-id\u003e`\n4. Begin working on it\n5.

This replaces the normal \"await instructions\" patrol step with productive backlog processing.\n\n## Context\n\nCrew workers like dave/joe are persistent, user-managed agents. Currently their patrol loop has an \"await instructions\" step that idles. We want an alternative: sling mol-ready-work at them and they crank through backlogs until:\n- The overseer interrupts with new instructions\n- Context fills up (request handoff)\n- Backlogs are empty\n\n## Backlogs (Priority Order)\n\n1. **Open PRs** - Review/merge pending pull requests\n2. **Untriaged GH issues** - New issues needing triage\n3. **Open beads work** - bd ready items (unblocked issues)\n4. **Triaged GH issues** - Bugs/features to implement\n\n## Key Features\n\n### ROI-Based Selection\nInstead of strict priority, agent applies ROI heuristic:\n- Size estimate (fits in remaining context?)\n- Achievability (has all needed info?)\n- Impact (priority + type weight)\n- Pick highest-value achievable item\n\n### Context Management\n- Check token usage after each work item\n- Request handoff before running out\n- Leave clear handoff notes (mail to self)\n- Next session picks up the patrol\n\n### Patrol Loop Structure\n```\norient → scan-backlogs → select-work → execute-work → check-context → (loop or handoff)\n```\n\n## Design Questions\n\n1.

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.

Code Changes\n- [ ] Update `gt handoff` to detect polecat role and call `gt done` internally\n- [ ] Consider adding `--exit` flag to `gt handoff` for polecat compatibility\n\n### 2. CLAUDE.md Updates (gastown)\n- [ ] ~/gt/CLAUDE.md (Mayor)\n- [ ] gastown/crew/max/CLAUDE.md\n- [ ] gastown/crew/joe/CLAUDE.md\n- [ ] gastown/witness/CLAUDE.md\n- [ ] gastown/refinery/CLAUDE.md (and rig/)\n- [ ] deacon/CLAUDE.md\n\n### 3.

Daemon heartbeat runs (up to 5 min later)\n5. Daemon processes lifecycle request and kills session\n\n## Expected Behavior\nLifecycle requests should be processed immediately, not on poll interval.\n\n## Proposed Solutions\n\n### Option A: SIGUSR1 Signal (simplest)\n1. Add SIGUSR1 handler in daemon that calls ProcessLifecycleRequests()\n2. gt handoff reads daemon.pid and sends SIGUSR1 after mail send\n\n### Option B: Unix Socket\n1. Daemon listens on ~/gt/daemon/lifecycle.sock\n2. gt handoff connects and sends 'process' message\n\n### Option C: Watchfile + fsnotify\n1. gt handoff touches ~/gt/daemon/lifecycle.trigger\n2.
