Subject: [PATCH] fix(rig): infer rig name from cwd for 'gt rig status'
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When no rig argument is provided, now uses GetRole() to detect the
rig from the current directory or GT_ROLE environment variable.
Shows a helpful error message if rig cannot be determined.
