fix: SetupRedirect now works with tracked beads architecture

The SetupRedirect function was failing for rigs that use the tracked
beads architecture where the canonical beads location is mayor/rig/.beads
and there is no rig-level .beads directory.

This fix now checks for both locations:
1. rig/.beads (with optional redirect to mayor/rig/.beads)
2. mayor/rig/.beads directly (if no rig/.beads exists)

This ensures crew and polecat workspaces get the correct redirect file
pointing to the shared beads database in all configurations.

Closes: gt-jy77g
