Molecules don't get a separate YAML format - they're issues with `type: molecule` containing prose-based step definitions.\n\nAgents don't need rigid schemas. They parse natural language natively. A molecule is just instructions with enough structure for tooling.\n\n## Example: Engineer in a Box\n\n```markdown\nid: mol-xyz\ntype: molecule\ntitle: Engineer in a Box\n\nThis workflow takes a task from design to merge.\n\n## Step: design\nThink carefully about architecture. Consider existing patterns, \ntrade-offs, testability.\n\n## Step: implement\nWrite clean code.

{"id":"gt-id36","title":"Deacon Kernel: event processing molecule architecture","description":"\nExtend the Deacon from \"health orchestrator\" to \"event processing kernel\" that runs a \nmolecule (rounds) each wake cycle, like an OS kernel scheduler.\n\n## Core Insight\n\nThe Deacon already has:\n- Wake cycle (daemon poke, timer, lifecycle request)\n- Mail as event queue\n- Health scanning\n- Lifecycle processing\n\nBut it is REACTIVE. This epic makes it PROACTIVE with a structured molecule:\n\n```\nDeacon Wake\n├── Step 0: Session Check (should I cycle myself?)\n├── Step 1: Health Scan (Mayor, Witnesses, Crew, Refineries)\n├── Step 2: Lifecycle Processing (cycle/restart/shutdown requests)\n├── Step 3: Plugin Execution (scheduled, event-triggered, human-requested)\n├── Step 4: Event Callbacks (timers, subscriptions)\n└── Step 5: Heartbeat + Wait\n```\n\n## Key Design Decisions\n\n1. **Session cycling first** - Token costs are quadratic with session length.\n Deacon should aggressively cycle to fresh sessions. First step of every\n wake is \"do I need a new session?\" based on context budget.\n\n2. **Pinned bead with marching orders** - A pinned bead (like gt prime for\n agents) defines the Deacon's rounds molecule. This is the Deacon's\n \"kernel\" - its operating loop.\n\n3. **Keepalive file for daemon quieting** - Instead of daemon tmux-poking\n the Deacon (which interrupts work), Deacon writes a keepalive file.\n Daemon reads it and backs off. Worst case: Deacon forgets, gets one\n extra heartbeat it squelches.\n\n4. **Molecule-based rounds** - The wake cycle becomes a molecule with steps.\n Each step can have plugins (inline attention). Steps can be added/modified\n by updating the pinned bead.\n\n## Architecture\n\n```\nGo Daemon (minimal, dumb)\n├── Reads {townRoot}/deacon/keepalive.json\n├── If fresh: do nothing\n├── If stale: poke Deacon (fallback)\n└── Process lifecycle requests (still daemon's job)\n\nDeacon (Claude agent, smart)\n├── Wakes: poke, timer, mail event\n├── Writes keepalive (quiets daemon for duration of rounds)\n├── Runs rounds molecule:\n│ ├── session-check: cycle if context budget low\n│ ├── health-scan: check agents, remediate\n│ ├── lifecycle: process requests\n│ ├── plugins: run scheduled/triggered plugins\n│ ├── events: process timer/event callbacks\n│ └── complete: update heartbeat, wait\n└── Reads marching orders from pinned bead\n```\n\n## Relation to Existing Work\n\n- Extends gt-5af (Deacon infrastructure) - CLOSED\n- Relates to gt-axz (Plugin architecture) - P3\n- Fits into phase3-deacon of gt-ngpz (Christmas Plan)\n- Enables gt-976 (Crew lifecycle) as part of health-scan step\n","status":"open","priority":1,"issue_type":"epic","created_at":"2025-12-20T21:46:08.076178-08:00","updated_at":"2025-12-20T21:46:08.076178-08:00","dependencies":[{"issue_id":"gt-id36","depends_on_id":"gt-976","type":"blocks","created_at":"2025-12-20T21:48:05.215593-08:00","created_by":"daemon"}]}

Git State Corruption\n\n**Scenario**: Merge conflict, failed rebase, detached HEAD\n\n**Detection**:\n- Git commands fail\n- Dirty state that won't commit\n- Branch diverged from origin\n\n**Recovery**:\n- gt doctor reports git health issues\n- Manual intervention recommended\n- Severe cases: remove clone, re-clone\n\n### 3. Beads Sync Conflict\n\n**Scenario**: Two polecats modify same issue\n\n**Detection**:\n- bd sync fails with conflict\n- Beads tombstone mechanism handles most cases\n\n**Recovery**:\n- Beads has last-write-wins semantics\n- bd sync --force in extreme cases\n- Issues may need manual dedup\n\n### 4. Tmux Failure\n\n**Scenario**: Tmux server crashes, socket issues\n\n**Detection**:\n- All sessions inaccessible\n- \"no server running\" errors\n\n**Recovery**:\n- Kill any orphan processes\n- tmux kill-server \u0026\u0026 tmux start-server\n- All agent states reset to idle\n- Re-spawn active work\n\n### 5. Claude API Issues\n\n**Scenario**: Rate limits, outages, context limits\n\n**Detection**:\n- Sessions hang or produce errors\n- Repeated failure patterns\n\n**Recovery**:\n- Exponential backoff (handled by Claude Code)\n- For context limits: session cycling (mail-to-self)\n- For outages: wait and retry\n\n### 6.
