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.
Fixes: gh-736

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.

Call beads.EnsureCustomTypes before attempting to create a convoy.
This fixes invalid issue type: convoy errors that occur when town
beads do not have custom types configured (e.g., incomplete install
or manually initialized beads).
The EnsureCustomTypes function uses caching (in-memory + sentinel file)
so this adds negligible overhead to convoy create.

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)
This caused confusion when debugging hooks since Claude Code inherits
from parent directories, so hooks were executing but not shown by
`gt hooks`.
Also fixed: skip .claude directories when iterating crew members.

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
session where Claude/Node processes might be running and ignoring
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.

fix(sling): auto-apply mol-polecat-work (#288) and fix wisp orphan lifecycle bug (#842)
Fixes the formula-on-bead pattern to hook the base bead instead of the wisp:

- Convoys complete properly when work finishes

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

When slinging work to an agent, updateAgentHookBead() was running
bd slot set from townRoot. But agent beads with rig-level prefixes
(e.g., go-) live in rig databases, not the town database. This caused

Fix: Use beads.ResolveHookDir() to resolve the correct working directory
based on the agent bead's prefix before calling SetHookBead().

When the repo is in a broken state (wrong branch, detached HEAD, deleted
worktree), gt handoff would fail with "cannot detect town root" error.
This is exactly when handoff is most needed - to recover and hand off
to a fresh session.
Changes:
- detectTownRootFromCwd() now falls back to GT_TOWN_ROOT and GT_ROOT
environment variables when cwd-based detection fails
- buildRestartCommand() now propagates GT_ROOT to ensure subsequent
handoffs can also use the fallback
- Added tests for the fallback behavior

Previously, `gt done` would fail with "0 commits ahead; nothing to merge"
if work was pushed directly to main instead of via PR. This blocked
polecats from completing even when their work was done, causing them to
become zombies.
Now, if the branch has no commits ahead of main, `gt done` skips MR
creation but still completes successfully - notifying the witness,
cleaning up the worktree, and terminating the session.

The quick-add command (used by shell hook's "Add to Gas Town?" prompt)
previously only checked hardcoded paths ~/gt and ~/gastown, ignoring
GT_TOWN_ROOT and any other Gas Town installations.
This caused rigs to be added to the wrong town when users had multiple
Gas Town installations (e.g., ~/gt and ~/Documents/code/gt).
Fix the town discovery order:
1. GT_TOWN_ROOT env var (explicit user preference)
2. workspace.FindFromCwd() (supports multiple installations)
3. Fall back to ~/gt and ~/gastown
PR #759 introduced cleanupOrphanedClaude() using syscall.Kill directly,
which breaks Windows builds. This extracts the function to:

- start_orphan_windows.go: Stub (orphan signals not supported)
Follows existing pattern: process_unix.go / process_windows.go
## Problem
The deacon patrol was leaking claude processes. Every patrol cycle (1-3 minutes),
a new claude process was spawned under the hq-deacon tmux session, but old processes
were never terminated. This resulted in 12+ accumulated claude processes consuming
resources.
## Root Cause
In molecule_step.go:331, handleStepContinue() used tmux respawn-pane -k to restart
the pane between patrol steps. The -k flag sends SIGHUP to the shell but does not
kill all descendant processes (claude and its node children).
## Solution
Added KillPaneProcesses() function in tmux.go that explicitly kills all descendant
processes before respawning the pane. This function:
- Gets all descendant PIDs recursively
- Sends SIGTERM to all (deepest first)
- Waits 100ms for graceful shutdown
- Sends SIGKILL to survivors
Updated handleStepContinue() to call KillPaneProcesses() before RespawnPane().

TestQuerySessionEvents_FindsEventsFromAllLocations was failing because

how other affected tests were skipped in commit 7714295a.
The original stack overflow issue (gt-obx) was caused by subprocess

When Claude sessions were terminated using KillSession(), bash subprocesses
spawned by Claude's Bash tool could survive because they ignore SIGHUP.

The existing PPID=1 detection misses orphaned Claude processes that get
reparented to something other than init/launchd. The new --aggressive
flag cross-references Claude processes against active tmux sessions to
find ALL orphans not in any gt-* or hq-* session.
Testing shows this catches ~3x more orphans (117 vs 39 in one sample).
Usage:
gt orphans procs --aggressive # List ALL orphans
gt orphans procs kill --aggressive # Kill ALL orphans

## Problem
gt shutdown failed to stop orphaned daemon processes because the
detection mechanism ignored errors and had no fallback.
## Root Cause
stopDaemonIfRunning() ignored errors from daemon.IsRunning(), causing:
1. Stale PID files to hide running daemons
2. Corrupted PID files to return silent false
3. No fallback detection for orphaned processes
4. Early return when no sessions running prevented daemon check
## Solution
1. Enhanced IsRunning() to return detailed errors
2. Added process name verification (prevents PID reuse false positives)
3. Added fallback orphan detection using pgrep
4. Fixed stopDaemonIfRunning() to handle errors and use fallback
5. Added daemon check even when no sessions are running
## Testing
Verified shutdown now:
- Detects and reports stale/corrupted PID files
- Finds orphaned daemon processes
- Kills all daemon processes reliably
- Reports detailed status during shutdown
- Works even when no other sessions are running
