Fix cross-beads slot references silently failing

When slinging work from town beads (hq-*) to a polecat whose agent bead
is in rig beads (gt-*), the hook_bead update was silently failing because
bd couldn't find the cross-beads reference.

Changes:
- sling.go: Use town root for routing instead of cwd, enabling cross-beads
  resolution via routes.jsonl. Log warnings on failure instead of silent ignore.
- done.go: Use townRoot (already available) instead of cwd for beads client.
  Log warnings on failure for both state and cleanup status updates.

Root cause: The beads client was created from current working directory,
which may not have access to routes.jsonl for cross-prefix resolution.
Town root always has routes.jsonl for proper prefix → rig directory mapping.
