Stops agents in the correct order:
1. Deacon first (so it doesn't restart others)
2. All polecats, witnesses, refineries, crew (gt-* sessions)
3. Mayor last

gt prime now internally runs:
- bd prime (beads workflow context)
- gt mail check --inject (mail injection)
This allows a single SessionStart hook to provide complete agent context.
Also added PreCompact and UserPromptSubmit hooks to settings.json.

- locate-harness: Interactive harness location selection
- create-harness: Directory structure creation
- setup-rigs: Rig configuration and cloning
- build-gt: Go binary compilation
- install-paths: PATH configuration
- init-beads: Beads database initialization
- sync-beads: Remote sync and doctor fixes
- verify: Installation verification
Note: Requires bd to support 'molecule' issue type (see gt-qn4l)

Creates deacon.md.tmpl for the health-check orchestrator role:
- Architecture position (between daemon and Mayor/Witnesses)
- Wake cycle instructions (heartbeat, mail check, health scan)
- Session patterns for all agent types
- Lifecycle request handling (cycle, restart, shutdown)
- Responsibilities and escalation protocols
Updates templates package to include deacon in role list.

Add deacon/ as a town-level mail identity alongside mayor/.
Both addressToIdentity() and identityToAddress() now handle
deacon/deacon/ consistently with trailing slash preservation.

Add deacon package with heartbeat read/write helpers:
- Heartbeat struct with Timestamp, Cycle, LastAction, health counts
- WriteHeartbeat/ReadHeartbeat for persistence to deacon/heartbeat.json
- IsFresh/IsStale/IsVeryStale for age checks
- ShouldPoke to determine if daemon should wake the Deacon
- Touch/TouchWithAction convenience functions
The Deacon writes heartbeat on each wake cycle. The Go daemon reads it
to decide whether to poke the Deacon (only if very stale >5 minutes).

Add CLI commands for managing the Deacon session, following the same
pattern as the Mayor commands:
- gt deacon start: Start the Deacon tmux session
- gt deacon stop: Stop the session with graceful shutdown
- gt deacon status: Check if session is running
- gt deacon attach: Attach to session (auto-starts if needed)
- gt deacon restart: Restart Claude within the session
The Deacon is the hierarchical health-check orchestrator that monitors
Mayor and Witnesses, handles lifecycle requests, and keeps Gas Town running.

- Create 8 implementation tasks as children of gt-5af
- Add AGENTS.md for agent onboarding
- Fix crew restart timing (add debounce, delay for Claude init)
- Add SendKeysDelayedDebounced to tmux for better prompt injection
Deacon will monitor Mayor/Witnesses proactively and handle lifecycle

Add delivery modes to mail messages:
- queue (default): message stored for periodic checking
- interrupt: inject system-reminder directly into session
New features:
- --interrupt flag on gt mail send for urgent/lifecycle messages
- --quiet flag on gt mail check for silent non-blocking checks
- gt mail wait command to block until mail arrives (with optional timeout)
Interrupt delivery injects a system-reminder via tmux send-keys,
useful for stuck detection, nudges, and urgent notifications.

Implement reusable name pool for polecat workers:
- Pool of 50 names (polecat-01 through polecat-50)
- Prefers lower-numbered slots for allocation
- Overflow uses rigname-N format when pool exhausted
- Pool names are reusable, overflow names are not
- State persisted to .gastown/namepool.json
Changes:
- Add NamePool type with Allocate/Release/Reconcile
- Integrate with polecat.Manager (auto-loads/saves)
- Update gt spawn to use AllocateName() from pool
- Remove legacy polecatNames list and generatePolecatName()
- Add comprehensive tests for name pooling
Benefits:
- Tmux sessions survive polecat restarts (same name)
- Users can stay attached and see work continue
- Bounded resource usage for common case
- Scales beyond 50 with overflow naming

Before killing an agent session, the daemon now verifies that the
agent has set requesting_<action>=true in its state.json file.
This ensures agents have completed pre-shutdown tasks (git clean,
handoff mail, etc) before being terminated.
- Added verifyAgentRequestingState() for state file verification
- Added identityToStateFile() to map identity to state.json path
- Added comprehensive tests in lifecycle_test.go

The ListOptions struct defaults Priority to 0 (Go zero value), which
caused bd list to filter to only P0 merge requests. This fix explicitly
sets Priority: -1 to disable priority filtering.
Root cause: beads.ListOptions{Type: "merge-request"} created opts with
Priority=0, passing --priority=0 to bd, filtering out P1-P4 MRs.

- Identity to session mapping (identityToSession)
Tests document a bug where parseLifecycleRequest always matches 'cycle'
because "LIFECYCLE:" prefix contains "cycle". Filed as gt-rixa.

Implement step recovery mechanism for stuck molecule steps (MVP):
- Add Release() and ReleaseWithReason() to beads wrapper
- Create gt release command to move in_progress → open
- Clears assignee so step can be claimed by another worker
- Optionally adds reason as note for tracking
Usage:
gt release <id> # Release single issue
gt release <id> -r "why" # Release with reason
This enables nondeterministic idempotence - stuck steps can be
safely recovered and retried by releasing and reclaiming.

Add a new doctor check that detects when issues.db is empty but
issues.jsonl has content. This situation can cause "table issues has
no column named pinned" errors when running bd mail send.
The check:
- Detects empty database file alongside non-empty JSONL
- Can auto-fix by deleting the empty database and triggering rebuild
- Works for both town-level and rig-level beads
Run 'gt doctor --fix' to automatically fix this issue.
