All agents now receive their startup beacon + role-specific instructions via
the CLI prompt, making sessions identifiable in /resume picker while removing
unreliable post-startup nudges.
Changes:
- Rename FormatStartupNudge → FormatStartupBeacon, StartupNudgeConfig → BeaconConfig
- Remove StartupNudge() function (no longer needed)
- Remove PropulsionNudge() and PropulsionNudgeForRole() functions
- Update deacon, witness, refinery, polecat managers to include beacon in CLI prompt
- Update boot to inline beacon (can't import session due to import cycle)
- Update daemon/lifecycle.go to include beacon via BuildCommandWithPrompt
- Update cmd/deacon.go to include beacon in startup command
- Remove redundant StartupNudge and PropulsionNudge calls from all startup paths
The beacon is now part of the CLI prompt which is queued before Claude starts,
making it more reliable than post-startup nudges which had timing issues.
SessionStart hook runs gt prime automatically, so PropulsionNudge was redundant.

Fixes#525: gt up reports deacon success but session doesn't actually start
Previously, WaitForCommand failures were marked as "non-fatal" in the
manager Start() methods used by gt up. This caused gt up to report
success even when Claude failed to start, because the error was silently
ignored.
Now when WaitForCommand or WaitForRuntimeReady times out:
1. The zombie tmux session is killed
2. An error is returned to the caller
3. gt up properly reports the failure
This aligns the manager Start() behavior with the cmd start functions
(e.g., gt deacon start) which already had fatal WaitForCommand behavior.
Changed files:
- internal/deacon/manager.go
- internal/mayor/manager.go
- internal/witness/manager.go
- internal/refinery/manager.go

* fix(sling_test): update test for cook dir change
The cook command no longer needs database context and runs from cwd,
not the target rig directory. Update test to match this behavior
change from bd2a5ab5.

* fix(tests): skip tests requiring missing binaries, handle --allow-stale
- Add skipIfAgentBinaryMissing helper to skip tests when codex/gemini
binaries aren't available in the test environment
- Update rig manager test stub to handle --allow-stale flag

* refactor(config): remove BEADS_DIR from agent environment
Stop exporting BEADS_DIR in AgentEnv - agents should use beads redirect
mechanism instead of relying on environment variable. This prevents
prefix mismatches when agents operate across different beads databases.
Changes:
- Remove BeadsDir field from AgentEnvConfig
- Remove BEADS_DIR from env vars set on agent sessions
- Update doctor env_check to not expect BEADS_DIR
- Update all manager Start() calls to not pass BeadsDir

* fix(doctor): detect BEADS_DIR in tmux session environment
Add a doctor check that warns when BEADS_DIR is set in any Gas Town
tmux session. BEADS_DIR in the environment overrides prefix-based
routing and breaks multi-rig lookups - agents should use the beads
redirect mechanism instead.
The check:
- Iterates over all Gas Town tmux sessions (gt-* and hq-*)
- Checks if BEADS_DIR is set in the session environment
- Returns a warning with fix hint to restart sessions

When starting Mayor via 'gt may at', the session now:
1. Works from townRoot (~/gt) instead of mayorDir (~/gt/mayor)
2. Includes startup beacon with explicit instructions in initial prompt
3. Removes redundant post-start nudges (beacon has instructions)
This matches the 'gt handoff' behavior where the agent immediately
knows to check hook and mail on startup.
Fixes: hq-h3449 (P0 escalation - horrendous starting UX)

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.

Consolidates all role startup code to use the shared RoleEnvVars()
function, ensuring consistent env vars across tmux SetEnvironment
and Claude startup command exports.
Updated:
- Mayor manager
- Deacon startup (daemon.go)
- Witness manager
- Refinery manager
- Polecat startup (daemon.go)
- BuildPolecatStartupCommand, BuildCrewStartupCommand helpers
This ensures all agents receive the same identity env vars regardless
of startup path.

Agent sessions would fail on startup because send-keys arrived before the
shell was ready, causing 'bad pattern' and 'command not found' errors.
Fix: Create sessions with the command directly using tmux new-session's
command argument. This runs the agent as the pane's initial process,
avoiding shell readiness timing issues entirely.
Updated all agent managers: mayor, deacon, witness, refinery, polecat, crew.
Also fixes pre-existing build error in polecat/manager.go (polecatPath →
clonePath/newClonePath).
Closes#280

Add WaitForShellReady call before SendKeys in all agent managers
(deacon, mayor, witness, refinery). This prevents intermittent
"can't find pane" errors that occur when the tmux session is
created but the shell isn't ready to receive input yet.
The issue manifests under load (e.g., during `gt up` when multiple
agents start in sequence) where the 200ms delay in SendKeysDelayed
isn't sufficient for the pane to be fully initialized.

- Create mayor.Manager for mayor lifecycle (Start/Stop/IsRunning/Status)
- Create deacon.Manager for deacon lifecycle with respawn loop
- Move session.Manager to polecat.SessionManager (clearer naming)
- Add zombie session detection for mayor/deacon (kills tmux if Claude dead)
- Remove duplicate session startup code from up.go, start.go, mayor.go
- Rename sessMgr -> polecatMgr for consistency
- Make witness/refinery SessionName() public for status display
All agent types now follow the same Manager pattern:
mgr := agent.NewManager(...)
mgr.Start(...)
mgr.Stop()
mgr.IsRunning()
mgr.Status()
