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. Follow codebase conventions.\nNeeds: design\n\n## Step: review  \nReview for bugs, edge cases, style issues.\nNeeds: implement\n\n## Step: test\nWrite and run tests. Cover happy path and edge cases.\nNeeds: implement\n\n## Step: submit\nSubmit for merge via refinery.\nNeeds: review, test\n```\n\n## Instantiation\n\n```bash\n# Attach molecule when spawning\ngt spawn --issue gt-abc --molecule mol-xyz\n\n# Creates child beads atomically:\ngt-abc.design     ← ready first\ngt-abc.implement  ← blocked by design  \ngt-abc.review     ← blocked by implement\ngt-abc.test       ← blocked by implement\ngt-abc.submit     ← blocked by review, test\n```\n\nEach step issue gets an `instantiated-from` edge to the molecule (with step metadata).\n\n## Why This Matters\n\n1. **Unified data plane**: Everything in Beads, no parallel YAML channel\n2. **AI-native**: Prose instructions, not rigid schemas\n3. **Error isolation**: Each step is a checkpoint - failure doesn't lose progress\n4. **Scales with AI**: As agents get smarter, they handle more complex molecules\n\n## Implementation Primitives\n\n- `ParseMoleculeSteps()`: Extract steps from prose (convention-based)\n- `InstantiateMolecule()`: Atomic transaction creating all steps + edges  \n- `instantiated-from` edge type: Track provenance\n- Parameterization: `{{variable}}` substitution from context map","status":"closed","priority":0,"issue_type":"epic","created_at":"2025-12-18T18:06:24.573068-08:00","updated_at":"2025-12-19T14:44:59.705427-08:00","closed_at":"2025-12-19T14:44:59.705427-08:00"}

Cyclic Molecules\n\nRegular molecule:     A -\u003e B -\u003e C -\u003e done\nPatrol molecule:      A -\u003e B -\u003e C --+\n                      ^             |\n                      +-------------+\n\nPatrols have a loop_to field specifying where to restart.\n\n### 2. Cooldown-Aware Steps (Atoms)\n\nSteps encode their own cadence. When patrol reaches a step:\n1. Check: now - last_run \u003e cooldown?\n2. If yes: execute, update last_run\n3. If no: skip (immediately close)\n\nThe patrol runner is simple - steps self-skip. Complexity distributed into atoms.\n\n### 3. The Beacon\n\nThe heartbeat that fires patrol triggers:\n- Internal ticker in Deacon (goroutine)\n- Or external cron firing gt deacon tick\n- Or mail-based triggers\n\nWithout beacon, nothing proactive happens.\n\n### 4. Session Reset as Patrol Step\n\nConnects to auto-handoff (gt-bcwn). Session reset is a patrol step, not a separate mechanism.\n\n### 5. Multi-Role Patrols\n\nEach supervisor has its own patrol:\n\n**Deacon patrol:** health-check (30s), session-gc (5m), beacon-tick (10s)\n**Witness patrol:** orphan-scan (10m), stuck-check (2m), molecule-progress (1m)\n**Refinery patrol:** queue-check (30s), pr-status (1m), merge-ready (30s)\n\n### 6. Cadence Tiers\n\n- Critical (10-30s): Health checks\n- Active (1-5m): Progress, nudges\n- Maintenance (10-30m): Orphans, GC\n- Periodic (1h+): Reports\n\n### 7. Best-Effort Scheduling\n\nNot real-time - more like cron. No hard deadlines. Catch-up, dont pile-up.\nPriority preemption (mail interrupts patrol). Graceful degradation under load.\n\n## Open Questions\n\n1. State persistence: Beads (self-describing) or file (faster)?\n2. Interruption: How does urgent mail preempt patrol?\n3. Error recovery: Backoff? Escalate? Circuit breaker?\n4. Coordination: Can patrols send mail to trigger other patrols?\n\n## Related\n\n- gt-bcwn: Auto-handoff (session reset is a patrol step)\n- Molecule system (patrols extend molecules with loops)\n- Deacon lifecycle management\n\n## Metaphor\n\nClaude was fire. Claude Code was steam. Gas Town is the steam engine. Beads is the train tracks.\n\nThe steam engine converts episodic combustion into continuous rotary motion.\nGas Town converts episodic Claude sessions into continuous autonomous work.","status":"open","priority":1,"issue_type":"epic","created_at":"2025-12-21T12:18:22.99128-08:00","updated_at":"2025-12-21T12:18:22.99128-08:00","dependencies":[{"issue_id":"gt-7918","depends_on_id":"gt-bcwn","type":"blocks","created_at":"2025-12-21T12:18:30.86651-08:00","created_by":"daemon"}]}

Engineer identity/philosophy guidance\n3. Structural enforcement of failure handling (not just documentation)\n\nWhen tests fail during merge processing, the current guidance doesn't prevent 'disavowal' - noting a problem exists and proceeding without tracking it.\n\n## The Structural Solution\n\nCreate `mol-refinery-patrol` with **verification gates** that make disavowal structurally impossible:\n\n```markdown\n## Molecule: mol-refinery-patrol\n\n## Step: inbox-check\nCheck mail for MR submissions, escalations, messages.\nProcess any urgent items first.\n\n## Step: queue-scan\nFetch remote, identify polecat branches waiting.\nIf queue empty, skip to context-check.\nTrack branch list for this cycle.\nNeeds: inbox-check\n\n## Step: process-branch\nPick next branch. Rebase on current main.\nIf rebase conflicts: notify polecat, skip to next branch.\nNeeds: queue-scan\n\n## Step: run-tests\nRun go test ./...\nTrack results (pass/fail count).\nNeeds: process-branch\n\n## Step: handle-failures\n**GATE**: If tests passed, this step auto-completes.\nIf tests failed:\n- Diagnose: branch regression or pre-existing?\n- Branch regression → abort, notify polecat\n- Pre-existing → EITHER fix OR \\`bd create --type=bug\\`\n**VERIFY**: Fix committed OR bead filed before proceeding.\nNeeds: run-tests\n\n## Step: merge-push\nMerge to main (ff-only preferred).\nPush immediately.\nDelete polecat branch.\nNeeds: handle-failures\n\n## Step: loop-check\nMore branches? Return to process-branch.\nOtherwise continue to summary.\nNeeds: merge-push\n\n## Step: generate-summary\nSummarize cycle: branches processed, tests results, issues filed.\nNeeds: loop-check\n\n## Step: context-check\nCheck context usage.\nIf high: write handoff, prepare for burn/respawn.\nNeeds: generate-summary\n\n## Step: burn-or-loop\nIf context LOW and queue non-empty: loop (return to queue-scan)\nIf context HIGH or queue empty: burn and exit\nNeeds: context-check\n```\n\n## Implementation Tasks\n\n### 1. Add RefineryPatrolMolecule() to builtin_molecules.go\n- Copy pattern from DeaconPatrolMolecule\n- Include all steps with proper `Needs:` dependencies\n- Emphasize handle-failures gate in description\n\n### 2. Update Refinery CLAUDE.md\nAdd sections:\n- **The Engineer Mindset** (identity/philosophy)\n- **The Scotty Test** (Would Scotty walk past this?)\n- **Patrol Molecule** reference (mol-refinery-patrol)\n- **Test Failure Protocol** (explicit decision tree)\n\n### 3. Create prompts/roles/refinery.md\n- Follow pattern of deacon.md\n- Include patrol execution loop diagram\n- Reference the molecule\n\n### 4. Consider mol-witness-patrol\n- Witness has detailed heartbeat protocol but no formal molecule\n- Similar pattern could apply\n\n## Why This Matters\n\nGUPP: 'If you have work on your hook, you have to run it.'\nThe patrol molecule puts failure handling ON THE HOOK as a mandatory step.\nYou can't skip handle-failures to get to merge-push.\nThe structure enforces good behavior.\n\n## Related\n- gt-7919: Fix failing beads tests (discovered during this session)\n- mol-deacon-patrol (existing pattern to follow)\n- docs/molecular-chemistry.md (chemistry concepts)\n- docs/wisp-architecture.md (wisp vs mol decision)","status":"closed","priority":1,"issue_type":"feature","created_at":"2025-12-22T13:01:48.588945-08:00","updated_at":"2025-12-22T13:20:37.565029-08:00","closed_at":"2025-12-22T13:13:36.329669-08:00"}

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. Disk Full\n\n**Scenario**: Clones, logs, or beads fill disk\n\n**Detection**:\n- Write operations fail\n- git/bd commands error\n\n**Recovery**:\n- Clean up logs: rm ~/.gastown/logs/*\n- Remove old polecat clones\n- gt doctor --fix can clean some cruft\n\n### 7. Network Failure\n\n**Scenario**: Can't reach GitHub, API servers\n\n**Detection**:\n- git fetch/push fails\n- Claude sessions hang\n\n**Recovery**:\n- Work continues locally\n- Queue pushes for later\n- Sync when connectivity restored\n\n## Recovery Principles\n\n1. **Fail safe**: Prefer stopping over corrupting\n2. **State is recoverable**: Git and beads have recovery mechanisms\n3. **Doctor heals**: gt doctor --fix handles common issues\n4. **Emergency stop**: gt stop --all as last resort\n5. **Human escalation**: Some failures need Overseer intervention\n\n## Implementation\n\n- Document each failure mode in architecture.md\n- Ensure doctor checks cover detection\n- Add recovery hints to error messages\n- Log all failures for debugging","status":"open","priority":1,"issue_type":"task","created_at":"2025-12-15T23:19:07.198289-08:00","updated_at":"2025-12-15T23:19:28.171942-08:00"}
