Witness sessions use format gt-witness-<rig> but categorizeSession was
parsing them as gt-<rig>-<type>, incorrectly setting Rig="witness".
This caused the mayor status line to count "witness" as a third rig.
Added special case to handle gt-witness-<rig> format before the generic
rig-level parsing. Also updated tests to cover both actual and legacy formats.

Polecats should not push their branches to origin directly.
They submit work via `gt done` which goes through the merge queue.
The Refinery handles merging to main.
This was causing stale polecat branches to accumulate on origin.

Implement DFS-based cycle detection in ValidateMolecule to catch
circular dependencies in molecule step graphs. The algorithm uses
three-color marking (unvisited/visiting/visited) to detect back
edges that indicate cycles.
When a cycle is detected, the error message shows the cycle path

Add 4 new tests:
- SimpleCycle: A -> B -> A
- LongerCycle: A -> B -> C -> A
- DiamondNoCycle: ensures valid diamond patterns pass

CRITICAL FIX: Both `gt done` and `gt mq submit` were creating MR
records without pushing the branch to origin first. When polecat
worktrees were deleted, the unpushed branches were lost forever.
This caused 12 MQ items to become orphaned - merge requests existed
but their branches had vanished.
The fix adds a mandatory `git push origin <branch>` before creating
the MR record. If push fails, the MR is not created.

5. session-gc - Clean dead sessions and wisp artifacts
6. context-check - Check own context limit
7. loop-or-exit - Burn and let daemon respawn, or exit if context high

Check restart/shutdown before cycle to avoid matching 'lifecycle:' prefix.
Use ' cycle' (with leading space) for word boundary matching.
Resolved conflict: fixed variable name (title → subject).
The parseLifecycleRequest function was checking for "cycle" first,
but since the title already contains "lifecycle:" (which includes
"cycle"), all lifecycle messages matched as cycle actions, making
restart and shutdown unreachable.
Fixed by:
1. Checking restart/shutdown before cycle
2. Using " cycle" (with leading space) to match the word, not prefix

Added molecule workflow integration to Gas Town:
1. spawn.go: MoleculeContext in work assignment mail
- Shows step N/M and molecule ID in subject
- Includes molecule workflow instructions
- Guides polecat through DAG execution
2. prime.go: outputMoleculeContext()
- Detects if in-progress issue is a molecule step
- Shows molecule progress and next steps
- Displays molecule work loop instructions
3. molecule.go: 'gt molecule progress' command
- Shows execution progress for molecule root
- Displays done/in-progress/ready/blocked steps
- Progress bar and completion percentage
- JSON output for Witness automation
This enables polecats to work through molecule DAGs:
- Receive molecule-aware work assignments
- See context in gt prime output
- Follow DAG with 'bd ready --parent <root>'
- Witness can monitor with 'gt molecule progress'

When `gt mq submit` is run from a polecat work branch (polecat/<worker>/<issue>),
it now automatically triggers polecat shutdown after submitting the MR. The
polecat sends a lifecycle request to its Witness and waits for termination.
This eliminates the need for polecats to manually run `gt handoff --shutdown`
after completing work - they can just run `gt mq submit` and the cleanup
happens automatically.
Added `--no-cleanup` flag to disable auto-cleanup when needed (e.g., for
submitting multiple MRs or continuing work).
