Adds documentation for the critical pileup processing protocol:
- Process ONE branch at a time
- Rebase each on current main before merging
- Push immediately after each merge
- Main moves forward, next branch must rebase on NEW main

The Refinery now runs as a Claude agent in a tmux session instead of
a Go-based polling loop. This aligns it with how polecats work and
enables intelligent MR processing.
Changes:
- Modified refinery.Start() to spawn Claude session (not gt refinery --foreground)
- Added gt refinery attach command for interactive access to refinery session
- Updated refinery.md.tmpl with comprehensive Claude agent instructions
- Added startup directive in gt prime for refinery role
The --foreground mode is preserved for backwards compatibility but the
default behavior now launches a Claude agent that can review diffs,
run tests, handle conflicts, and notify workers via mail.

- gt spawn now sends work assignment to polecat inbox instead of tmux injection
- Add --identity flag to gt mail inbox and gt mail check
- Add --force flag to gt spawn to override existing unread mail
- Update polecat template with startup protocol for reading inbox
- Fix pre-existing lint issue in start.go
The new flow is more reliable:
1. Spawn sends work assignment mail to polecat inbox
2. Polecat starts and runs gt prime
3. gt prime automatically runs gt mail check --inject
4. Polecat reads work assignment from inbox
Benefits:
- Persistence across session restarts
- No racing against Claude initialization
- Audit trail in beads
- Edge case handling for existing unread mail
