Molecules are the LEDGER, not a task checklist. Each step closure
is a timestamped CV entry. Batch-closing corrupts the timeline.
Added explicit warnings to:
- molecules.md (first best practice)
- polecat-CLAUDE.md (new 🚨 section)
The discipline: mark in_progress BEFORE starting, closed IMMEDIATELY
after completing. Never batch-close at the end.

The router was missing support for beads-native channel addresses.
When mail_send.go resolved an address to RecipientChannel, it set
msg.To to "channel:<name>" but router.Send() had no handler for this
prefix, causing channel messages to fail silently.
Added:
- isChannelAddress() and parseChannelName() helper functions
- sendToChannel() method that creates messages with proper channel:
labels for channel queries
- Channel validation before sending
- Retention enforcement after message creation
Also updated docs/beads-native-messaging.md with more comprehensive
documentation of the beads-native messaging system.

Groups and channels are town-level entities that span rigs, so they
should use the hq- prefix rather than gt- (rig-level).
Changes:
- GroupBeadID: gt-group- → hq-group-
- ChannelBeadID: gt-channel- → hq-channel-
- Add --force flag to bypass prefix validation (town beads may have
mixed prefixes from test runs)
- Update tests and documentation
Also adds docs/beads-native-messaging.md documenting:
- New bead types (gt:group, gt:queue, gt:channel)
- CLI commands (gt mail group, gt mail channel)
- Address resolution logic
- Usage examples

Polecats have exactly three operating conditions - there is no idle pool:
- Working: session active, doing assigned work
- Stalled: session stopped unexpectedly, never nudged back
- Zombie: gt done called but cleanup failed
Key clarifications:
- These are SESSION states; polecat identity persists across sessions
- "Stalled" and "zombie" are detected conditions, not stored states
- The status:idle label only applies to persistent agents, not polecats

* feat: Add rig-level custom agent support
Implement rig-level custom agent configuration support to enable per-rig
agent definitions in <rig>/settings/config.json, following the same pattern as
town-level agents in settings/config.json.
Changes:
- Added RigSettings.Agents field to internal/config/types.go
- Added DefaultRigAgentRegistryPath() and LoadRigAgentRegistry() functions to internal/config/agents.go
- Updated ResolveAgentConfigWithOverride() to accept and pass rigSettings parameter
- Updated GetRuntimeCommandWithAgentOverride() to use rigSettings when available
- Updated GetRuntimeCommandWithPromptAndAgentOverride() to use rigSettings
- Updated all Build*WithOverride functions to pass rigSettings
This fixes the issue where rig-level agent settings were loaded but
ignored by lookupAgentConfig, enabling per-rig custom agents for
polecats and crew members.
* test: Add rig-level custom agent tests
Added comprehensive unit tests for rig agent registry functions:
- TestDefaultRigAgentRegistryPath: verifies path construction
- TestLoadRigAgentRegistry: verifies file loading and JSON parsing
- TestLookupAgentConfigWithRigSettings: verifies agent lookup priority (rig > town > builtin)
Added placeholder integration test for future CI/CD setup.
* initial commit
* fix: resolve compilation errors in rig-level custom agent support
- Add missing RigAgentRegistryPath function (alias for DefaultRigAgentRegistryPath)
- Restore ResolveAgentConfigWithOverride function that was incorrectly removed
- Fix ResolveAgentConfig to return single value (not triple)
- Add initRegistryLocked() call to LoadRigAgentRegistry to prevent nil panic
- Fix DefaultRigAgentRegistryPath to use rigPath directly (not parent dir)
- Fix test file syntax errors (remove EOF artifacts)
- Fix test parameter order for lookupAgentConfig calls
- Fix test expectations to match correct custom agent override behavior
* test: implement rig-level custom agent integration test
- Add stub agent script that simulates AI agent with Q&A capability
- Test ResolveAgentConfig correctly picks up rig-level agents
- Test BuildPolecatStartupCommand includes custom agent command
- Test ResolveAgentConfigWithOverride respects rig agents
- Test rig agents override town agents with same name
- Add tmux integration test that spawns session and verifies output
- Stub agent echoes 'STUB_AGENT_STARTED' and handles ping/pong Q&A
- All tests pass including real tmux session verification
* docs: add OpenCode custom agent example to reference
- Show settings/agents.json format for advanced configs
- Include OpenCode example with session resume flags
- Document OPENCODE_PERMISSION env var for autonomous mode
* fix: improve rig-level agent support with docs and test fixes
- Add rig-level agent documentation to reference.md
- Document agent resolution order (rig → town → built-in)
- Deduplicate LoadAgentRegistry/LoadRigAgentRegistry into shared helper
- Fix test isolation in TestLoadRigAgentRegistry
- Fix nil pointer dereference in test assertions (use t.Fatal not t.Error)
* feat: add Cursor Agent as compatible agent for Gas Town
Add AgentCursor preset with ProcessNames field for multi-agent detection:

- ProcessNames field on AgentPresetInfo for agent detection

- GetProcessNames(agentName) helper function

Town-level services (Mayor, Deacon) now use hq- prefix instead of gt-:
- hq-mayor (was gt-mayor)
- hq-deacon (was gt-deacon)
This distinguishes town-level sessions from rig-level sessions which
continue to use gt- prefix (gt-gastown-witness, gt-gastown-crew-max, etc).
Changes:
- session.MayorSessionName() returns "hq-mayor"
- session.DeaconSessionName() returns "hq-deacon"
- ParseSessionName() handles both hq- and gt- prefixes
- categorizeSession() handles both prefixes
- categorizeSessions() accepts both prefixes
- Updated all tests and documentation

The --molecule flag was defined but never wired up - the slingMolecule
variable was set by the flag parser but never read by any code path.
Users should use --on instead, which is fully implemented:
gt sling <formula> --on <bead> <target>
The --on flag properly instantiates the formula (cook + wisp + bond)
and applies it to the target bead before slinging.
Keeping --on as the canonical way to apply formulas to beads since it's
actually wired up and working. The --molecule flag can be re-added later
if a different argument order is desired.

These commands transitioned polecats to idle state, violating the transient
model. From PRIMING.md: "Polecats exist only while working. One task, then nuked."
Removed:
- gt polecat done - marked polecat as done and returned to idle
- gt polecat reset - force reset polecat to idle state
- gt polecat finish - alias for done
- gt polecat sleep - deprecated transition to done state
- gt polecat wake - deprecated transition to working state
- Manager.Finish() method
- Manager.Reset() method
- Manager.Wake() method
- Manager.Sleep() method
The correct model is: polecats use 'gt done' which signals Witness for nuke.
There is no "return to idle" - only death.

The tmux session name "gt-deacon-boot" was causing HasSession("gt-deacon")
to return true due to tmux prefix matching behavior. This made the daemon
think the Deacon was running when only Boot was active, and caused commands
targeting "gt-deacon" to be sent to Boot session instead.
The fix renames Boot session from "gt-deacon-boot" to "gt-boot", which
has no prefix overlap with "gt-deacon".

PROBLEM: Agents were reading formula files directly and manually creating beads
for each step, rather than using the cook→pour→molecule pipeline.
FIXES:
- polecat-CLAUDE.md: Changed "following the formula" to "work through your
pinned molecule" and added explicit anti-pattern warning
- mol-polecat-work.formula.toml: Added note that formula defines template,
use bd ready to find step beads
- docs/molecules.md: Added "Common Mistake" section with WRONG/RIGHT examples
- mol-*.formula.toml (5 files): Changed "execute this formula" to "work
through molecules (poured from this formula)"
The key insight: Formulas are source templates (like source code). You never
read them directly. The cook → pour pipeline creates step beads for you.
