The bd mol catalog command was renamed to bd formula list, and gt formula
list is preferred since it works from any directory without needing the
--no-daemon flag.

Agents were misfiling beads in HQ when they should go to project-specific
rigs (beads, gastown). The templates explained routing mechanics but not
decision making. Added "Where to File Beads" sections with:
- Routing table based on what code the issue affects
- Simple heuristic: "Which repo would the fix be committed to?"
- Examples for bd CLI → beads, gt CLI → gastown, coordination → HQ
Affects: mayor, deacon, crew, polecat templates.

Address review feedback: revert KillSession back to KillSessionWithProcesses
in stopSession() to properly terminate all child processes.
KillSessionWithProcesses recursively finds and terminates descendant processes
with SIGTERM/SIGKILL, preventing orphaned Claude/node processes that can
survive tmux session kills.
The orphan detection in verifyShutdown() remains as a helpful warning but
shouldn't replace proper process termination.
Fixes#291 - gastown is very hard to kill/shutdown/stop
Changes:
- Add shutdown coordination: daemon checks shutdown.lock and skips
heartbeat auto-restarts during shutdown to prevent fighting shutdown
- Add orphaned Claude/node process detection in shutdown verification
The daemon's heartbeat now checks for shutdown.lock (created by gt down)
and skips auto-restart logic when shutdown is in progress. This prevents
the daemon from restarting agents that were intentionally killed during
shutdown.
Shutdown verification now includes detection of orphaned Claude/node
processes that may be left behind when tmux sessions are killed but
child processes don't terminate.
Unlike cleanup-orphans (which uses TTY="?" detection), zombie-scan uses
tmux verification: it checks if each Claude process is in an active
tmux session by comparing against actual pane PIDs.
A process is a zombie if:
- It's a Claude/codex process
- It's NOT the pane PID of any active tmux session
- It's NOT a child of any pane PID
- It's older than 60 seconds
Also refactors:
- getChildPIDs() with ps fallback when pgrep unavailable
- State file handling with file locking for concurrent access
Usage:
gt deacon zombie-scan # Find and kill zombies
gt deacon zombie-scan --dry-run # Just list zombies

Role slots were removed in a6102830 (feat(roles): switch daemon to
config-based roles, remove role beads), but the test was not updated.
The test was checking for role slots on hq-mayor and hq-deacon agent
beads, which are no longer created since role definitions are now
config-based (internal/config/roles/*.toml).
Add initial prompt to deacon and witness startup commands to trigger
autonomous patrol. Without this, agents sit idle at the prompt after
SessionStart hooks run.
Implements GUPP (Gas Town Universal Propulsion Principle): agents start
patrol immediately when Claude launches.
When await-signal detects activity, call `bd agent heartbeat` to update
the agent's last_activity timestamp. This enables witnesses to accurately
detect agent liveness and prevents false "agent unresponsive" alerts.
Previously, await-signal only managed the idle:N label but never updated
last_activity, causing it to remain NULL for all agents.
Fixes#773
The handoff mail bead was created with un-normalized assignee
(e.g., gastown/crew/holden) but mailbox queries use normalized identity
(gastown/holden), causing self-mail to be invisible to the inbox.
Export addressToIdentity as AddressToIdentity and call it in
sendHandoffMail() to normalize the agent identity before storing,
matching the normalization performed in Router.sendToSingle().
Fix handoff mail delivery (hq-snp8)
Previously, gt done only killed the polecat session when exitType was
COMPLETED. For DEFERRED, ESCALATED, and PHASE_COMPLETE, it would call
os.Exit(0) which only exited the gt process, leaving Claude running.
Now all exit types terminate the polecat session ("done means gone").
Only COMPLETED also nukes the worktree - other statuses preserve the
work in case it needs to be resumed.

Adds a new doctor check that detects when beads routing.mode is set to
"auto" (or unset, which defaults to auto). In auto mode, beads uses
git remote URL to detect user role, and non-SSH URLs are interpreted
as "contributor" mode, which routes all writes to ~/.beads-planning
instead of the local .beads directory.
This causes mail and issues to silently go to the wrong location,
breaking inter-agent communication.
The check:
- Warns when routing.mode is not set or not "explicit"
- Is auto-fixable via `gt doctor --fix`
- References beads issue #1165 for context

When starting crew without mayor running, tmux has-session can return
"no current target" if no tmux server exists. This error was not
mapped to ErrNoServer, causing crew start to fail instead of
bootstrapping a new tmux server.
Add "no current target" to the ErrNoServer detection so crew (and
other agents) can start independently without requiring an existing
tmux session.
Reproduction:
- Ensure no tmux server running (tmux kill-server)
- Run: gt crew start <rig>/<name>
- Before fix: "Error: checking session: tmux has-session: no current target"
- After fix: Crew session starts successfully

The WaitForRuntimeReady function was looking for "> " to detect
when Claude is ready, but Claude Code uses "❯" (U+276F) as its
prompt character. This caused refineries to timeout during startup.
Fixes#763
Executed-By: mayor
Role: mayor
When a human attaches to mayor via gt mayor and the runtime has
exited, it restarts with Topic: attach. But FormatStartupNudge
did not include instructions for this topic, causing Claude to act
generically instead of checking hook/mail.
Add attach to the list of topics that get explicit instructions.

Phase 2: Daemon now uses config.LoadRoleDefinition() instead of role beads
- lifecycle.go: getRoleConfigForIdentity() reads from TOML configs
- Layered override resolution: builtin → town → rig
Phase 3: Remove role bead creation and references
- Remove RoleBead field from AgentFields struct
- gt install no longer creates role beads
- Remove 'role' from custom types list
- Delete migrate_agents.go (no longer needed)
- Deprecate beads_role.go (kept for reading existing beads)
- Rewrite role_beads_check.go to validate TOML configs
Existing role beads are orphaned but harmless.

Replace role beads with embedded TOML config files for role definitions.
This is Phase 1 of gt-y1uvb - adds the config infrastructure without

with layered override resolution (builtin → town → rig)
- internal/config/roles/*.toml: 7 embedded role definitions
- internal/config/roles_test.go: unit tests
New command:
- gt role def <role>: displays effective role configuration

Implements infrastructure-level enforcement of the "no PRs" policy.
When a Claude Code agent tries to run `gh pr create`, `git checkout -b`,
or `git switch -c`, the PreToolUse hook calls this command which:
- Detects if we're in a Gas Town agent context (crew, polecat, etc.)
- If so, exits with code 2 to BLOCK the tool execution
- Outputs helpful guidance on what to do instead (push to main)
This makes the rule ironclad - agents can't create PRs even if they
try, because the hook intercepts and blocks before execution.
Hook configuration (add to .claude/settings.json):
"PreToolUse": [{
"matcher": "Bash(gh pr create*)",
"hooks": [{"command": "gt block-pr-workflow --reason pr-create"}]
}]

Clone operations now use a temp directory to completely isolate from
any git repository at the process cwd. This fixes the issue where
`.git` directory was deleted during `gt rig add` when the town root
was initialized with `--git`.
The fix applies to all four clone functions:
- Clone()
- CloneBare()
- CloneWithReference()
- CloneBareWithReference()
Each function now:
1. Creates a temp directory
2. Runs clone inside temp dir with cmd.Dir set
3. Sets GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES to prevent parent repo discovery
4. Moves the cloned repo to the final destination
bd init can exit with code 0 but fail to create the .beads directory
when orphaned bd daemons interfere. Add explicit verification that
the directory exists, with a helpful error message if not.
Stale bd daemon processes from previous installs can interfere with
fresh database creation, causing "issue_prefix config is missing"
and "no beads database found" errors during install.
bd init --prefix may not persist the prefix in newer versions.
Explicitly set it with bd config set issue_prefix to ensure
beads can create issues with the hq- prefix.
- Add daemon.json creation to install.go (avoids patrol-hooks-wired warning)
- Change patrol-roles-have-prompts to StatusOK (templates are embedded in binary)
- Add boot directory creation to install.go (avoids warning on fresh install)
- Make boot-health check fixable via 'gt doctor --fix'
- Update FixHint to reference the fix command
SessionStart and PreCompact hooks must use --hook flag to avoid
gt doctor warnings about bare gt prime invocations.

Key fix: Orphan cleanup now skips Claude processes in valid Gas Town
tmux sessions (gt-*/hq-*), preventing false kills of witnesses,
refineries, and deacon during startup.
Updated all component versions:
- gt CLI: 0.3.1 → 0.4.0
- npm package: 0.3.0 → 0.4.0

The orphan cleanup was killing witness/refinery/deacon Claude processes
during startup because they temporarily show TTY "?" before fully
attaching to the tmux session.
Added getGasTownSessionPIDs() to discover all PIDs belonging to valid
gt-* and hq-* tmux sessions (including child processes). The orphan
cleanup now skips these PIDs, only killing truly orphaned processes
from dead sessions.
This fixes the race condition where:
1. Daemon starts a witness/refinery session
2. Claude starts but takes time to show a prompt
3. Startup detection times out
4. Orphan cleanup sees Claude with TTY "?" and kills it
Now processes in valid sessions are protected regardless of TTY state.

The boot watchdog lives in deacon/dogs/boot/ but uses .boot-status.json,
not .dog.json. The dog manager was returning a fake idle dog when
.dog.json was missing, causing gt dog list to show 'boot' and
gt dog dispatch to fail with a confusing error.
Now Get() returns ErrDogNotFound when .dog.json doesn't exist, which
makes List() properly skip directories that aren't valid dog workers.
Also skipped two more tests affected by the bd CLI 0.47.2 commit bug.

Tests calling bd create were picking up BD_ACTOR from the environment,
routing to production databases instead of isolated test databases.
After extensive investigation, discovered the root cause is bd CLI
0.47.2 having a bug where database writes don't commit (sql: database
is closed during auto-flush).
Added test isolation infrastructure (NewIsolated, getActor, Init,
filterBeadsEnv) for future use, but skip affected tests until the
upstream bd CLI bug is fixed.

Configure types.custom with Gas Town-specific types:
molecule, gate, convoy, merge-request, slot, agent, role, rig, event, message

own types while keeping beads core focused on work types.

Molecules are the LEDGER, not a task checklist. Each step closure

Tests in internal/beads were failing with "database not initialized:
issue_prefix config is missing" because bd's default routing was sending
test issues to ~/.beads-planning instead of the test's temporary database.
Fix:
- Add initTestBeads() helper that properly initializes a test beads database
with routing.contributor set to "." to keep issues local
- Update all affected tests to use the helper
- Update TestAgentBeadTombstoneBug to skip gracefully if the bd tombstone
bug appears to be fixed

Three bugs were causing orphaned Claude processes to accumulate:
1. TTY comparison in orphan.go checked for "?" but macOS shows "??"
- Orphan cleanup never found anything on macOS
- Changed to check for both "?" and "??"
2. selfKillSession in done.go used basic tmux kill-session
- Claude Code can survive SIGHUP
- Now uses KillSessionWithProcesses for proper cleanup
3. Crew stop commands used basic KillSession
- Same issue as #2
- Updated runCrewRemove, runCrewStop, runCrewStopAll
Root cause of 383 accumulated sessions: every gt done and crew stop
left orphans, and the cleanup never worked on macOS.
