Fresh installs and rig adds were creating full CLAUDE.md files (285 lines
for mayor, ~100 lines for other roles), causing gt doctor to fail the
priming check immediately.
Per the priming architecture, CLAUDE.md should be a minimal bootstrap
pointer (<30 lines) that tells agents to run gt prime. Full context is
injected ephemerally at session start.
Changes:
- install.go: createMayorCLAUDEmd now writes 12-line bootstrap pointer
- manager.go: createRoleCLAUDEmd now writes role-specific bootstrap pointers
for mayor, refinery, crew, and polecat roles
Note: The AGENTS.md issue mentioned in #316 could not be reproduced - the
code does not appear to create AGENTS.md at rig level. May be from an older
version or different configuration.
Partial fix for #316

Add three new flags to gt prime command:
- --state: Output role state as JSON and exit early (for scripting)
- --dry-run: Skip side effects (persistence, locks, events)
- --explain: Show verbose role detection reasoning
The --state flag is mutually exclusive with all other flags and errors
if combined. The other flags (--dry-run, --explain, --hook) can be
combined freely.
Also fixes missing filepath import in beads.go.

detectSessionState() and checkSlungWork() both contained identical
logic for finding hooked/in_progress beads assigned to an agent.
Extracted this into findHookedBead() helper function.
Also includes priming subsystem improvements from mayor:
- Add --dry-run flag for testing without side effects
- Add --state flag to output detected state only
- Add --explain flag to show why sections are included
- Add missing filepath import to beads.go

Phase 1 of dynamic priming subsystem:
1. PRIME.md provisioning for all workers (hq-5z76w, hq-ukjrr Part A)
- Added ProvisionPrimeMD to beads package with Gas Town context template
- Provision at rig level in AddRig() so all workers inherit it
- Added fallback provisioning in crew and polecat managers
- Created PRIME.md for existing rigs
2. Post-handoff detection to prevent handoff loop bug (hq-ukjrr Part B)
- Added FileHandoffMarker constant (.runtime/handoff_to_successor)
- gt handoff writes marker before respawn
- gt prime detects marker and outputs "HANDOFF COMPLETE" warning
- Marker cleared after detection to prevent duplicate warnings
3. Priming health checks for gt doctor (hq-5scnt)
- New priming_check.go validates priming subsystem configuration
- Checks: SessionStart hook, gt prime command, PRIME.md presence
- Warns if CLAUDE.md is too large (should be bootstrap pointer)
- Fixable: provisions missing PRIME.md files
This ensures crew workers get Gas Town context (GUPP, hooks, propulsion)
even if the gt prime hook fails, via bd prime fallback.

When `gt formula run` fell back to the default "gastown" rig (because no
rig could be detected), it didn't set rigPath, which meant the default
formula lookup would fail. Now rigPath is properly constructed when we
have townRoot but can't detect a current rig.
Also adds tests for GetDefaultFormula helper.

hq-u0ach: done.go - Add --cleanup-status flag so agents can pass cleanup
status directly. Removes computeCleanupStatus() which violated ZFC by
having Go compute cleanup status from git state.
hq-z0zqw: beads.go - Remove strings.Contains parsing for ErrNotARepo and
ErrSyncConflict. Per ZFC, Go should transport errors to agents, not parse
them to make decisions. IsBeadsRepo() now uses file existence check.

When a bead is closed externally via bd close, it could remain on
an agent's hook, causing confusion when running gt hook. Now
gt hook detects closed beads and shows a warning message with
instructions to clear the hook using gt unsling.
Closes: gt-8w0r6

The gt hook command wasn't finding hooked beads for town-level roles
(mayor, deacon) because of an identity format mismatch:
- When hooking a bead, resolveSelfTarget() sets assignee with trailing
slash (e.g., "mayor/")
- When querying, buildAgentIdentity() returned without slash ("mayor")
This caused the assignee filter to miss the hooked bead since bd does
exact matching on the assignee field.
Fix:
- Update buildAgentIdentity() to return "mayor/" and "deacon/" with
trailing slash, matching the format used when setting assignee
- Update isTownLevelRole() to accept both formats for compatibility

Two ZFC fixes:
1. Boot marker file (hq-zee5n): Changed IsRunning() to query
tmux.HasSession() directly instead of checking marker file
freshness with TTL. Removed stale marker check from doctor.
2. Branch pattern matching (hq-zwuh6): Replaced hardcoded "polecat/"
strings with constants.BranchPolecatPrefix for consistency.
Also removed 60-second WaitForCommand blocking from crew Start()
which was causing gt crew start to hang.

Extends the --agent flag with a more general --env flag that allows
setting arbitrary environment variables when starting a witness.
Precedence (highest to lowest):
1. CLI --env overrides
2. Role bead env_vars
3. config.AgentEnv() defaults
Examples:
gt witness start greenplace --env ANTHROPIC_MODEL=claude-3-haiku
gt witness restart greenplace --env DEBUG=1 --env VERBOSE=true

Create centralized AgentEnv function as single source of truth for all
agent environment variables. All agents now consistently receive:
- GT_ROLE, BD_ACTOR, GIT_AUTHOR_NAME (role identity)
- GT_ROOT, BEADS_DIR (workspace paths)
- GT_RIG, GT_POLECAT/GT_CREW (rig-specific identity)
- BEADS_AGENT_NAME, BEADS_NO_DAEMON (beads config)
- CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR (optional account selection)
Remove RoleEnvVars in favor of AgentEnvSimple wrapper.
Remove IncludeBeadsEnv flag - beads env vars always included.
Update all manager and cmd call sites to use AgentEnv.

Adds a new `gt doctor` check that verifies tmux session environment
variables match expected values from `config.RoleEnvVars()`.
- Checks all Gas Town sessions (gt-*, hq-*)
- Compares actual tmux env vars against expected for each role
- Reports mismatches with guidance to restart sessions
- Treats no sessions as success (valid when Gas Town is down)
- Skips deacon (doesn't use standard env vars)
Also:
- Adds `tmux.GetAllEnvironment()` to retrieve all session env vars
- Removes redundant gtroot_check (env-vars check covers GT_ROOT)

Introduces config.RoleEnvVars() as the single source of truth for role
identity environment variables (GT_ROLE, GT_RIG, BD_ACTOR, etc.).
CLI improvements:
- Fix getRoleHome paths (witness has no /rig suffix, polecat/crew do)
- Make gt role env read-only (displays current role from env/cwd)
- Add EnvIncomplete handling: fill missing env vars from cwd with warning
- Add cwd mismatch warnings when not in role home directory
- gt role home now validates --polecat requires --rig
Includes comprehensive e2e tests for all role detection scenarios.

Start crew members concurrently instead of sequentially. Previously,
`gt crew start --all` could hang for minutes because each crew member
was started one at a time, with each waiting up to 60 seconds for
Claude to initialize.
With parallel startup, all crew members start simultaneously and
the total wait time is bounded by the slowest individual startup.

Add detection for when the installed gt binary is out of date with the
source repository. This helps catch issues where commands fail mysteriously
because the installed binary doesn't have recent fixes.
Changes:
- Add internal/version package with stale binary detection logic
- Add startup warning in PersistentPreRunE when binary is stale
- Add gt doctor check for stale-binary
- Use prefix matching for commit comparison (handles short vs full hash)
The warning is non-blocking and only shows once per shell session via
the GT_STALE_WARNED environment variable.

When routing-based verification (verifyBeadExists) fails due to
routes.jsonl configuration issues, gt sling now falls back to pattern
matching via looksLikeBeadID to accept valid bead ID formats.
The fix ensures:
1. verifyBeadExists is tried first (routing-based lookup)
2. verifyFormulaExists is tried second (formula check)
3. looksLikeBeadID pattern match is used as final fallback
Also improved looksLikeBeadID to accept any 1-5 letter lowercase
prefix followed by hyphen and alphanumeric chars.
Fixes: gt sling bd-xxx failing with "not a valid bead or formula"
when the bead exists but routing cannot find it.

Add three layers of protection to prevent accidental branch switches in
the town root (~/gt), which should always stay on main:
1. Doctor check `town-root-branch`: Verifies town root is on main/master.
Fixable via `gt doctor --fix` to switch back to main.
2. Doctor check `pre-checkout-hook`: Verifies git pre-checkout hook is
installed. The hook blocks checkout from main to any other branch.
Fixable via `gt doctor --fix` or `gt git-init`.
3. Runtime warning in all gt commands: Non-blocking warning if town root
is on wrong branch, with fix instructions.
The root cause of this issue was git commands running in the wrong
directory, switching the town root to a polecat branch. This broke gt
commands because rigs.json and other configs were on main, not the
polecat branch.

- Add BeadsCustomTypes constant ("agent,role,rig,convoy,slot") to avoid
hardcoded strings scattered across the codebase
- Add CustomTypesCheck to gt doctor that verifies Gas Town custom types
are registered with beads, with --fix support
- Register custom types during gt init (best-effort, skips if no beads)
- Update install.go, rig_check.go, and rig/manager.go to use the constant
This ensures consistent type registration across all code paths and
catches misconfigured beads databases via gt doctor.

Agents were confused when receiving "gt prime" as their first prompt,
interpreting it as a command to investigate rather than understanding
they were starting a Gas Town session.
Changed crew_at.go, start.go, and handoff.go to use FormatStartupNudge()
which produces a proper beacon like:
[GAS TOWN] george/crew/george <- human • 2026-01-09T10:30 • start
The SessionStart hook (gt prime --hook) still injects context - the
prompt just needs to be something agents recognize as a greeting.

gt shutdown was not stopping the daemon, which caused it to restart
agents (witnesses, refineries) after shutdown completed. The daemon
heartbeats every 3 minutes and calls ensureWitnessesRunning() and
ensureRefineriesRunning(), which would notice the sessions were dead
and restart them.
This adds daemon stop logic to both runGracefulShutdown (as Phase 6)
and runImmediateShutdown (after polecat cleanup), matching the behavior
that gt down already has.

Changes polecat worktree structure from:
polecats/<name>/
to:
polecats/<name>/<rigname>/
This gives Claude Code agents a recognizable directory name (e.g., tidepool/)
in their cwd instead of just the polecat name, preventing confusion about
which repo they are working in.
Key changes:
- Add clonePath() method to manager.go and session_manager.go for the actual
git worktree path, keeping polecatDir() for existence checks
- Update Add(), RepairWorktree(), Remove() to use new structure
- Update daemon lifecycle and restart code for new paths
- Update witness handlers to detect both structures
- Update doctor checks (rig_check, branch_check, config_check,
claude_settings_check) for backward compatibility
- All code includes fallback to old structure for existing polecats

* feat(costs): redesign session cost tracking with wisps and daily digests
Implement the wisp-based cost tracking architecture per gt-cm900:
- gt costs record now creates ephemeral wisps (not exported to JSONL)
to avoid log-in-database pollution with O(sessions/day) events
- gt costs digest aggregates yesterday's session wisps into a single
permanent "Cost Report YYYY-MM-DD" bead for audit purposes
- gt costs query updated: --today queries wisps, --week queries
digest beads + today's wisps
- gt costs migrate closes legacy open session.ended beads
- Deacon patrol formula updated with costs-digest step
The new architecture:
Session ends -> Wisp (fast, N/day) -> Patrol digest -> Bead (1/day)
This preserves audit trail while keeping issues.jsonl clean.
