feat(mayor): add escalation check to startup protocol

Browse Source 
Mayor now checks `gt escalate list` between hook and mail checks at startup.
This ensures pending escalations from other agents are handled promptly.

Other roles (witness, refinery, polecat, crew, deacon) are unaffected -
they create escalations but don't handle them at startup.
