* Add hung-session-detection step to deacon patrol
Detects and surgically recovers Gas Town sessions where Claude API
call is stuck indefinitely. These appear "running" (tmux session
exists) but aren't processing work.
Safety checks (ALL must pass before recovery):
1. Session matches Gas Town pattern exactly (gt-*-witness, etc)
2. Session shows waiting state (Clauding/Deciphering/etc)
3. Duration >30min AND (zero tokens OR duration >2hrs)
4. NOT showing active tool execution (⏺ markers)
This closes a gap where existing zombie-scan only catches processes
not in tmux sessions.

* fix(orphan): protect all tmux sessions, not just Gas Town ones
The orphan cleanup was killing Claude processes in user's personal tmux
sessions (e.g., "loomtown", "yaad") because only sessions with gt-* or
hq-* prefixes were protected.
Changes:
- Renamed getGasTownSessionPIDs() to getTmuxSessionPIDs()
- Now protects ALL tmux sessions regardless of name prefix
- Updated variable names for clarity (gasTownPIDs -> protectedPIDs)
The TTY="?" check is not reliable during certain operations (startup,
session transitions), so explicit protection of all tmux sessions is
necessary to prevent killing user's personal Claude instances.

When a hooked bead has attached_molecule (formula workflow), the polecat
was being told "run bd show <bead-id>" first, then seeing molecule context
later. The polecat would follow the first instruction and work directly
on the bead, ignoring the formula steps entirely.
Now checks for attached_molecule FIRST and gives different instructions:
- If molecule attached: "Work through molecule steps - see CURRENT STEP"
- If no molecule: "Run bd show <bead-id>"
Also adds explicit warning: "Skip molecule steps or work on base bead directly"
to the DO NOT list when a molecule is attached.

Replace bd create --ephemeral wisp with simple file append to
~/.gt/costs.jsonl. This ensures the stop hook never fails due to:
- Dolt server not running (connection refused)
- Dolt connection stale (invalid connection)
- Database temporarily unavailable
The costs.jsonl approach:
- Stop hook appends JSON line (fire-and-forget, ~0ms)
- gt costs --today reads from log file
- gt costs digest aggregates log entries into permanent beads
This is Option 1 from gt-99ls5z design bead.

When polecats are nuked, Claude child processes could survive and become
orphans, leading to memory exhaustion (observed: 142 orphaned processes
consuming ~56GB RAM).
This commit:
1. Increases the SIGTERM→SIGKILL grace period from 100ms to 2s to give
processes time to clean up gracefully
2. Adds orphan cleanup to `gt polecat nuke` that runs after session
termination to catch any processes that escaped
3. Adds a new `gt cleanup` command for manual orphan removal
The orphan detection uses aggressive tmux session verification to find
ALL Claude processes not in any active session, not just those with
PPID=1.

Add CleanupOrphanedSessions() function that runs at `gt start` time to
detect and kill zombie tmux sessions (sessions where tmux is alive but
the Claude process has died).
This prevents:
- Session name conflicts when restarting agents
- Resource accumulation from orphaned sessions
- Process accumulation that can overwhelm the system
The function scans for sessions with `gt-*` and `hq-*` prefixes, checks
if Claude is running using IsClaudeRunning(), and kills zombie sessions
using KillSessionWithProcesses() for proper cleanup.

The `gt hooks` command was not discovering settings at:
- <rig>/crew/.claude/settings.json (crew-level, inherited by all members)
- <rig>/polecats/.claude/settings.json (polecats-level)

from parent directories, so hooks were executing but not shown by
`gt hooks`.
Also fixed: skip .claude directories when iterating crew members.

The daemon's exec.Command calls were not explicitly setting cmd.Env,
causing subprocesses to fail when the daemon process doesn't have
the expected PATH environment variable. This manifests as:
Warning: failed to fetch deacon inbox: exec: "gt": executable file not found in $PATH
When the daemon is started by mechanisms with minimal environments
(launchd, systemd, or shells without full PATH), executables like
gt, bd, git, and sqlite3 couldn't be found.
The fix adds cmd.Env = os.Environ() to all 15 subprocess calls across
three files, ensuring they inherit the daemon's full environment.
Affected commands:
- gt mail inbox/delete/send (lifecycle requests, notifications)
- bd sync/show/list/activity (beads operations)

KillPaneProcesses was being called on new sessions before respawn,
which killed the fresh shell and destroyed the pane. This caused
"can't find pane" errors on session creation.
Now KillPaneProcesses is only called when restarting in an existing

SIGHUP. For new sessions, we just use respawn-pane directly.
Also added retry limit and error checking for the stale session
recovery path.

## Problem
Claude processes were accumulating as orphans, with 100+ processes piling up
daily. Every `gt handoff` (used dozens of times/hour by crew) left orphaned
processes because `tmux respawn-pane -k` only sends SIGHUP, which Node/Claude
ignores.
## Root Cause
Previous fixes (1043f00d, f89ac47f, 2feefd17, 1b036aad) were laser-focused on
specific symptoms (shutdown, setsid, done.go, molecule_step.go) but never did
a comprehensive audit of ALL RespawnPane call sites. handoff.go was never
fixed despite being the main source of orphans.
## Solution
Added KillPaneProcesses() call before every RespawnPane() in:
- handoff.go (self handoff and remote handoff)
- mayor.go (mayor restart)
- crew_at.go (new session and restart)
KillPaneProcesses explicitly kills all descendant processes with SIGTERM/SIGKILL
before respawning, preventing orphans regardless of SIGHUP handling.
molecule_step.go already had this fix from commit 1b036aad.

Changes patrol-molecules-exist check to verify that patrol formulas
are accessible via `bd formula list` instead of looking for placeholder
molecule beads created by `bd create --type=molecule`.
## Problem
The check was looking for molecule-type beads with titles "Deacon Patrol",
"Witness Patrol", and "Refinery Patrol". These placeholder beads serve no
functional purpose because:
1. Patrols actually use `bd mol wisp mol-deacon-patrol` which cooks
formulas inline (on-the-fly)
2. The formulas already exist at the town level in .beads/formulas/
3. The placeholder beads are never referenced by any patrol code
## Solution
- Check for formula names (mol-deacon-patrol, mol-witness-patrol,
mol-refinery-patrol) instead of bead titles
- Use `bd formula list` instead of `bd list --type=molecule`
- Remove Fix() method that created unnecessary placeholder beads
- Update messages to reflect that formulas should exist in search paths
## Impact
- Check now verifies what patrols actually need (formulas)
- Eliminates creation of unnecessary placeholder beads
- More accurate health check for patrol system

Problem:
- Gas Town sets GT_TOWN_ROOT environment variable
- Beads searches for formulas using GT_ROOT environment variable
- This naming inconsistency prevents beads from finding town-level formulas
- Result: `bd mol seed --patrol` fails in rigs, causing false doctor warnings
Solution:
Export both GT_TOWN_ROOT and GT_ROOT from `gt rig detect` command:
- Modified stdout output to export both variables (lines 66, 70)
- Updated cache storage format (lines 134, 136, 138)
- Updated unset statement for both variables (line 110)
- Updated command documentation (lines 33, 37)
Both variables point to the same town root path. This maintains backward
compatibility with Gas Town (GT_TOWN_ROOT) while enabling beads formula
search (GT_ROOT).
Testing:
- `gt rig detect .` now outputs both GT_TOWN_ROOT and GT_ROOT
- `bd mol seed --patrol` works correctly when GT_ROOT is set
- Formula search paths work as expected: town/.beads/formulas/ accessible

Both settings-autonomous.json and settings-interactive.json templates
were using bare 'gt prime' in SessionStart and PreCompact hooks, which
caused gt doctor to report warnings about missing --hook flag.
The --hook flag is required for proper session ID passthrough from
Claude Code. When called as a hook, 'gt prime --hook' reads session
metadata (session_id, transcript_path, source) from stdin JSON that
Claude Code provides.
Without --hook, session tracking breaks and gt doctor correctly warns:
"SessionStart uses bare 'gt prime' - add --hook flag or use session-start.sh"
This fix updates both template files to use 'gt prime --hook' in:
- SessionStart hooks (lines 12)
- PreCompact hooks (lines 23)
New installations will now generate settings.json files with the
correct format that passes gt doctor validation.

When checkDeaconHeartbeat detects a stuck Deacon and kills it, the code

where the Deacon is never restarted.
