 {"id":"gt-sult","title":"gt spawn beads sync warning is misleading for redirect-based polecats","description":"## Problem\n\nWhen spawning a polecat, gt spawn shows a warning:\n```\nWarning: beads sync: exit status 1\n```\n\nThis is misleading because polecats using the redirect architecture (`.beads/redirect`) share the canonical database at `mayor/rig/.beads/beads.db`. The 'stale beads' indicated by the warning is just git branch divergence (main vs beads-sync), not actual data staleness.\n\n## Expected Behavior\n\ngt spawn should either:\n1. Skip the beads sync check for polecats using redirects (they share the canonical DB)\n2. Or provide a clearer message like 'beads redirect active, using shared database'\n\n## Reproduction\n\n```bash\ngt spawn --issue gt-xxx --rig gastown --create\n# Shows 'Warning: beads sync: exit status 1' even though beads are current\n```\n\n## Root Cause\n\nspawn.go calls beads sync and treats any non-zero exit as a warning. But with redirects, the polecat doesn't need its own beads - it uses the canonical source via the redirect chain:\n```\npolecat/.beads/redirect -\u003e ../../.beads -\u003e gastown/.beads/redirect -\u003e mayor/rig/.beads\n```\n\n## Fix Options\n\n1. Check for .beads/redirect before calling sync\n2. Have bd sync return 0 when redirect is present\n3.
