Fix mail inbox detecting wrong identity from witness/refinery dirs

Browse Source 
When GT_ROLE env var is not set, detectSender() now falls back to
cwd-based detection instead of immediately returning "overseer".
This allows running mail commands from witness/refinery directories
without GT_ROLE set (e.g., debugging sessions) and correctly detecting
the identity from the current working directory path.
