Examples:
gt crew add murgen croaker goblin # Create all three
gt crew add dave # Still works for single
- Continues on failure (warns but doesn't abort)
- Shows summary at end
- Existing workspaces skipped with warning
- Rig add now creates empty crew/ directory with README
- Crew members must be added explicitly with 'gt crew add <name>'
- Removed --crew flag from rig add command
- Updated help text and output to reflect new behavior
This gives users control over crew member names rather than defaulting to 'max'.
Agents weren't auto-executing after gt handoff because the SessionStart
hook only outputs text - it doesn't inject a prompt. Claude needs actual
user input to trigger a response.
The fix: pass "gt prime" as an argument to claude, just like gt crew at
already does. This treats the argument as the first user prompt, which
triggers GUPP execution immediately.

- Add DefaultBranch() method to git package to detect repo's default branch
- Store default_branch in rig config.json
- Use detected branch for refinery worktree instead of hardcoding 'main'
- Add LoadRigConfig() to read rig config
- Display correct branch name in rig add output
Fixes wyvern rig creation (uses 'master' not 'main').
Agent beads must use gt- prefix (required by beads validation).
Only issue beads use rig-specific prefixes (ga-, bd-, etc.).
Fixed in:
- crew_add.go: Use CrewBeadID() not CrewBeadIDWithPrefix()
- prime.go: Use non-prefix variants for all agent types
- sling.go: Use non-prefix variants for all agent types
This fixes 'invalid agent ID' error when creating crew in rigs
with non-gt prefix (e.g., gastown with ga- prefix).

Implements the gt worktree <rig> command that allows crew workers to
create worktrees in other rigs for cross-rig work while maintaining
their identity.
Features:
- Detects crew identity from cwd (requires crew/ directory)
- Creates worktree at <target-rig>/crew/<source-rig>-<name>/
- Sets up git config for identity preservation
- Handles edge cases: already exists, rig not found, wrong role
Usage: gt worktree beads (from gastown/crew/joe → beads/crew/gastown-joe/)

Inject an identity beacon as the first message when Gas Town starts Claude
sessions. This beacon becomes the session title in Claude Code '/resume
picker, enabling workers to find their predecessor sessions for debugging.
Beacon format: [GAS TOWN] <address> • <mol-id or "ready"> • <timestamp>
Examples:
- [GAS TOWN] gastown/crew/max • gt-abc12 • 2025-12-30T14:32
- [GAS TOWN] gastown/polecats/Toast • ready • 2025-12-30T09:15
- [GAS TOWN] deacon • patrol • 2025-12-30T08:00
Workers can now press / in /resume picker and search for their address
(e.g., "gastown/crew/max") to see all predecessor sessions.
Note: Respawn-loop agents (deacon/refinery via up.go) skip beacon injection
since Claude restarts multiple times - would need post-restart injection.

When spawning polecats in rigs with custom prefixes (e.g., beads uses bd-
instead of gt-), agent beads were being created with hardcoded gt- prefix,
causing warnings like issue ID gt-beads-polecat-obsidian does not match
configured prefix bd.
Changes:
- polecat/manager.go: agentBeadID() now looks up the rigs configured prefix
from routes.jsonl via beads.GetPrefixForRig()
- prime.go: getAgentBeadID() now uses prefix lookup for rig-level agents
(witness, refinery, polecat, crew)
Town-level agents (mayor, deacon) continue to use gt- prefix as expected.
The --notify flag on gt convoy create was captured but never used.
This fix:
1. Stores the notify address in a bd slot when convoy is created
2. Adds 'gt convoy notify <convoy-id>' command that:
- Reads the notify slot
- Sends mail to the configured address with convoy completion details
- Does nothing gracefully if no notification was configured
The convoy-cleanup formula can now call 'gt convoy notify {{convoy}}'
to trigger the configured notification when a convoy completes.

Boot is a watchdog that the daemon pokes instead of Deacon directly,
centralizing the 'when to wake Deacon' decision in an agent that can
reason about context.
Key changes:
- Add internal/boot package with marker file and status tracking
- Add gt boot commands: status, spawn, triage
- Add mol-boot-triage formula for Boot's triage cycle
- Modify daemon to call ensureBootRunning instead of ensureDeaconRunning
- Add tmux.IsAvailable() for degraded mode detection
- Add boot.md.tmpl role template
Boot lifecycle:
1. Daemon tick spawns Boot (fresh each time)
2. Boot runs triage: observe, decide, act
3. Boot cleans stale handoffs from Deacon inbox
4. Boot exits (or handoffs in non-degraded mode)
In degraded mode (no tmux), Boot runs mechanical triage directly.
