Subject: [PATCH] Fix gt mol status: cross-rig scanning for town-level roles
 (gt-4ol8f)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When mayor/deacon checks their hook from ~/gt, gt mol status now scans all
registered rigs for pinned beads. This ensures the propulsion principle works
regardless of which directory the agent starts in.

The scan uses routes.jsonl to find all rig beads directories.
