Remove Go code that makes workflow decisions. All health checking,
staleness detection, nudging, and escalation belongs in the Deacon
molecule where Claude executes it.
Removed:
- internal/daemon/backoff.go (190 lines) - exponential backoff decisions
- internal/doctor/stale_check.go (284 lines) - staleness detection
- IsFresh/IsStale/IsVeryStale from keepalive.go
- pokeMayor, pokeWitnesses, pokeWitness from daemon.go
- Heartbeat staleness classification from pokeDeacon
Changed:
- Lifecycle parsing now uses structured body (JSON or simple text)
instead of keyword matching on subject line
- Daemon now only ensures Deacon is running and sends simple heartbeats
- No backoff, no staleness classification, no decision-making
Total: ~800 lines removed from Go code
The Deacon molecule will handle all health checking, nudging, and
escalation. Go is now just a message router.

Add comprehensive unit tests for:
- Config and state serialization (DefaultConfig, LoadState, SaveState)
- Session name pattern matching (isWitnessSession)
- Lifecycle request parsing (parseLifecycleRequest)
- Identity to session mapping (identityToSession)
Tests document a bug where parseLifecycleRequest always matches 'cycle'
because "LIFECYCLE:" prefix contains "cycle". Filed as gt-rixa.
