Complete redesign of polecat work formula with 8 concrete steps:
1. load-context - Prime, read issue, verify can proceed
2. branch-setup - Clean feature branch, rebased on main
3. implement - Do work, commit regularly, file discovered work
4. self-review - Review diff, fix issues before testing
5. run-tests - ALL tests must pass, verify coverage
6. cleanup-workspace - No uncommitted, no stash, no cruft
7. close-issue - bd close with summary
8. signal-complete - POLECAT_DONE mail, WAIT for termination
Also updated mol-polecat-lease.formula.toml (v2):
- 5 steps: boot → working → verifying → merge_requested → done
- Aligns with witness patrol and mail protocol
- Clear verification criteria before MERGE_READY
Added templates/polecat-CLAUDE.md:
- Polecat role context for spawned workers
- Propulsion principle, key commands, completion protocol
- Clear "do NOT" section (don't exit, don't push to main)

The redirect file points crew workers to the shared beads database
at mayor/rig/.beads. Tracking it keeps git status clean.

Strip (gt-xxx), (bd-xxx) suffixes from code comments. The descriptions
remain meaningful without the ephemeral issue IDs.

Added WITNESS_PING protocol for monitoring Deacon health:
Witness patrol (mol-witness-patrol):
- Added ping-deacon step after survey-workers
- Sends WITNESS_PING mail to Deacon each patrol cycle
- Checks Deacon agent bead last_activity timestamp
- Escalates to Mayor if Deacon appears unresponsive
Deacon patrol (mol-deacon-patrol):
- Added WITNESS_PING handling in inbox-check
- Added second-order monitoring section to description
- Bumped formula version to 2
This prevents the "who watches the watchers" problem - if Deacon dies,
the collective Witness fleet detects it and escalates.

Updated mol-witness-patrol formula with:
- MERGE_READY mail sent after polecat verification (process-cleanups)
- MERGED mail handling in inbox-check (completes cleanup)
- Cleanup wisp state machine: pending → merge-requested → closed
- Fallback discovery in survey-workers creates cleanup if done polecat
found without existing wisp

Changes:
1. Fix reportAgentState in prime.go to use beads API directly instead of
non-existent `bd agent state` command. Agents now properly self-report
their state to their agent beads on startup.
2. Update witness patrol survey-workers step to use agent beads:
- List polecats via `bd list --type=agent --json`
- Filter by role_type: polecat in description
- Check agent_state field (running/idle/stuck/done)
- Trust agent-reported state (ZFC principle)
No more PID/tmux inference for polecat state - agents self-report.

Adds witness patrol to daemon heartbeat cycle:
- ensureWitnessesRunning(): Start witness for each rig if not running
- pokeWitnesses(): Send heartbeat messages to all witnesses
- getKnownRigs(): Read rig list from mayor/rigs.json
The daemon now ensures both Deacon and Witnesses are running
and sends periodic heartbeats to trigger their patrol molecules.
