Shell loops bypassed the proper lifecycle architecture. Now:
- Witness: Launches Claude directly, daemon/deacon health-scan handles restart
- Deacon: Launches Claude directly, daemon detects exit and restarts
- Daemon: ensureDeaconRunning() now checks if Claude is running (pane cmd)
and restarts it if session exists but Claude has exited
- gt deacon restart: Now does stop+start instead of Ctrl-C
This enforces proper lifecycle flow through LIFECYCLE mail and daemon
heartbeat rather than bypassing it with shell loops.

Design doc for Gas Town account management feature enabling users to
switch between multiple Claude Code accounts (e.g., personal vs work).
Key decisions:
- Uses CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR env var as core mechanism
- Config stored in ~/gt/mayor/accounts.yaml (follows town config pattern)
- NOT in Beads (config, not work items)
- NOT molecules (mechanical, not cognitive)
- Extensible for API keys, per-role defaults, federation

Agents naturally expect `gt handoff -s "Subject" -m "Message"` to work
like `gt mail send`. Now it does:
- Added --subject/-s and --message/-m flags to gt handoff
- Added --self flag to gt mail send for sending to self
- Handoff auto-sends mail to self before respawning pane
This makes agent-initiated handoff more ergonomic - they can include
context in a single command instead of two separate steps.

- All three patrol roles now have consistent auto-bond behavior:
Deacon, Witness, Refinery

The previous implementation used session.Manager which only works for polecats.
Refinery and Witness have their own managers that handle their tmux sessions.
- Use refinery.Manager for refinery auto-start
- Use witness.Manager for witness auto-start
- Check state before starting to avoid duplicate starts

- Add handling for POLECAT_DONE messages in processShutdownRequests()
- Track which polecats have signaled done (using SpawnedIssues with "done:" prefix)
- For LIFECYCLE:shutdown requests, wait for POLECAT_DONE before cleanup
- Add checkPendingCompletions() to nudge polecats with closed issues
- Add 10-minute timeout with force-kill after waiting for POLECAT_DONE
- Protects against losing MR submissions when Witness cleans up too early

Implements redundant systems to ensure infrastructure stays operational:
- gt spawn: Auto-starts refinery and witness if not running
- mol-witness-patrol: Added check-refinery step to verify refinery is alive
This ensures polecats don't wait forever for merges.

New checks:
- crew-state: Validates crew worker state.json files for completeness
Can regenerate missing/invalid state files with --fix
- lifecycle-hygiene: Detects stale lifecycle state that can wedge the deacon
- Stale lifecycle messages in deacon inbox
- Stuck requesting_* flags in state.json when session is healthy
Can clean up with --fix (external intervention when deacon is stuck)

Three related fixes:
1. lifecycle.go: Use gt mail delete instead of gt mail read to prevent
lifecycle requests from accumulating.
2. handoff.go: Return exec claude command for respawn-pane instead of
gt crew at which tries to attach to existing session.
3. handoff.md skill: Work without --cycle and -m flags, send mail separately.

InstantiateMolecule now supports two formats:
1. New format: If molecule has child issues, copy them as templates
2. Old format: If no children, parse markdown steps from Description
This unifies execution while preserving authoring flexibility.
