* fix(witness): detect and ignore stale POLECAT_DONE messages
Add timestamp validation to prevent witness from nuking newly spawned
polecat sessions when processing stale POLECAT_DONE messages from
previous sessions.
- Add isStalePolecatDone() to compare message timestamp vs session created time
- If message timestamp < session created time, message is stale and ignored
- Add unit tests for timestamp parsing and stale detection logic
Fixes#909

* feat(mail): add --stale flag to gt mail archive
Add ability to archive stale messages (sent before current session started).
This prevents old messages from cycling forever in patrol inbox.
Changes:
- Add --stale and --dry-run flags to gt mail archive
- Move stale detection helpers to internal/session/stale.go for reuse
- Add ParseAddress to parse mail addresses into AgentIdentity
- Add SessionCreatedAt to get tmux session start time
Usage:
gt mail archive --stale # Archive all stale messages
gt mail archive --stale --dry-run # Preview what would be archived

Two issues fixed:
1. gt hook <convoy-id> now runs bd update from town root, ensuring
proper prefix-based routing for convoys (hq-*) in town beads.
2. gt hook show now also searches town beads for hooked items,
allowing agents to find hooked convoys regardless of their
current workspace location.
This enables the convoy-driver workflow where any agent can hook
a convoy and have it displayed via gt hook show.
Fixes: hq-y845
Gas town agents need to ignore working-file directories like .logs,
.runtime, and .claude, but Beads provides its own .gitignore handling
in `bd init`, creating a .beads/.gitignore file which ignores the
relevant Beads working files while allowing .beads/issues.jsonl
to be tracked correctly. PR #753 broke this, causing new polecats
to attempt to merge their changed .gitignore into the project repo,
ultimately breaking bd sync and causing issues to become untracked.
The misclassified-wisps check could detect issues that should be wisps
but couldn't fix them because bd update lacked an --ephemeral flag.
Now that beads supports `bd update <id> --ephemeral` (steveyegge/beads#1263),
implement the actual fix to mark detected issues as ephemeral.
Closes#852

* fix(molecule): use Dependencies from bd show instead of empty DependsOn
Bug: Molecule step dependency checking was broken because bd list
doesn't populate the DependsOn field (it's always empty). Only bd show
returns dependency info in the Dependencies field.
This caused all open steps to appear "ready" regardless of actual
dependencies - the polecat would start blocked steps prematurely.
Fix: Call ShowMultiple() after List() to fetch full issue details
including Dependencies, then check Dependencies instead of DependsOn.
Affected functions:
- findNextReadyStep() in molecule_step.go
- getMoleculeProgressInfo() in molecule_status.go
- runMoleculeCurrent() in molecule_status.go
Tests:
- Added TestFindNextReadyStepWithBdListBehavior to verify fix
- Added TestOldBuggyBehavior to demonstrate the bug
- Updated existing tests to use fixed algorithm

Add validateRecipient() to check that mail recipients correspond to
existing agents before sending. This prevents mail from being stored
with invalid assignees that won't match inbox queries.
The validation queries agent beads and checks if any match the
recipient identity. The only special case is "overseer" which is the
human operator and doesn't have an agent bead.
Tests create a temporary isolated beads database with test agents
to validate both success and failure cases. Tests are skipped if
bd CLI is not available (e.g., in CI).

ListUnread() was returning all open messages in beads mode instead of
filtering out messages marked as read. This caused `gt mail inbox --unread`
to show all messages even when they had the "read" label.
The fix unifies the code path for legacy and beads modes - both now
filter by the msg.Read field, which is correctly populated from the
"read" label via ToMessage().
Note: `gt mail read` intentionally does NOT mark messages as read
(to preserve handoff messages). Users should use `gt mail mark-read`
to explicitly mark messages as read.

* 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

- Dolt server not running (connection refused)
- Dolt connection stale (invalid connection)

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

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 daemon's exec.Command calls were not explicitly setting cmd.Env,

KillPaneProcesses was being called on new sessions before respawn,

## 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.
