Verify harness structure (mayor/, .beads/, CLAUDE.md exist)\n2. Validate config files (town.json, rigs.json parse correctly)\n3. Check beads health (bd doctor, redirect validity)\n4. Verify git state (clean working tree, proper remotes)\n5. Check rig integrity (each registered rig exists, has config.json)\n6. Validate agent clones (mayor/rig/, refinery/rig/ exist and are valid)\n7. Check for orphaned worktrees/branches\n8. Verify daemon state (if running)\n\n## Integration\n\n- `gt doctor` could instantiate the molecule for the current agent\n- Or agent can run `bd ready` and pick up doctor tasks when prioritized\n- Results logged to beads for audit trail\n\n## Related\n\n- gt-cr9: Harness Design \u0026 Documentation (completed)\n- Molecules design in architecture.md","status":"open","priority":2,"issue_type":"feature","created_at":"2025-12-19T13:03:22.688851-08:00","updated_at":"2025-12-19T13:03:22.688851-08:00"}
