Gas Town is a stream engine, not a swarm engine. Polecats can start
and land independently at any time. "Swarm" is used lightly for
batch coordination, but there are no swarm IDs or batch boundaries.
Changes:
- architecture.md: Add stream engine intro paragraph, update
references from "swarming" to "parallel polecats" or "batch"
- prompts.md: Rename SWARM_* messages to BATCH_*, update terminology
- crew.md.tmpl: Replace "swarm" references with "transient worker pool"
and "batch work"
The gt swarm command and internal/swarm/ package remain as-is since
they provide the tooling for batch operations.

The proto ID is gt-lwuu, not mol-polecat-work. bd mol run looks up
by ID, not title. Updated spawn to use correct proto ID.

Issue-based spawns now automatically use mol-polecat-work to give
polecats a structured workflow with crash recovery checkpoints.
Use --molecule to override with a different molecule.

Phase 2 Hook Execution Protocol: When agent has attached molecule work,
gt prime now calls bd mol current to show:
- Molecule progress (completed/total steps)
- Current step ID and title
- Step description/instructions
- Propulsion directive ("EXECUTE THIS STEP NOW")
- Close/ready instructions for workflow advancement
Key insight from bd-hulf/bd-3zm7 rejection: Molecule state is derived
from child beads being open/closed - no separate state files needed.
"Advancing" = closing the current step bead.

All mail is now ephemeral by default, matching the Gas Town design
that mail is transient operational state. Add --permanent flag for
the rare case when non-ephemeral mail is needed.

Wisps are now just a flag on regular beads issues (Wisp=true).
No separate directory needed - hooks stored in .beads/.
Changes:
- wisp package: WispDir now points to .beads/, removed PatrolCycle
- manager.go: removed initWispBeads() - no separate dir to create
- mrqueue.go: MRs stored in .beads/mq/ instead of .beads-wisp/mq/
- doctor: removed obsolete wisp directory checks
- docs: updated wisp-architecture.md to reflect simplified model

The hook system had two disconnected mechanisms:
1. beads pinned field (bd pin) - what mol status checked
2. wisp hook files (gt hook) - what prime/startup checked
Now gt mol status checks BOTH, so hooked work via gt hook/sling/handoff
shows up properly in mol status output.

- Add gt hook <bead>: durability primitive, attaches work to hook
- Update gt handoff: accept optional bead arg (detects bead vs role)
- Deprecate gt sling: shows warning, points to new commands
- Update doctor fix hint to reference new commands

Removed dual-routing architecture that used separate .beads-wisp/ directory.
Now uses single .beads/ with --wisp flag passed to bd create.
Changes:
- router.go: Remove resolveWispDir(), simplify shouldBeWisp()
- mailbox.go: Remove wispDir field and dual-source query logic
- types.go: Rename Ephemeral to Wisp, remove MessageSource
- mail.go: Rename --ephemeral to --wisp flag
- spawn.go: Use Wisp field for lifecycle messages

Add dual-inbox architecture where ephemeral messages go to
.beads-wisp/.beads/ instead of .beads/. Lifecycle messages
(POLECAT_STARTED, NUDGE, etc.) auto-detect as ephemeral.
Changes:
- Add Ephemeral and Source fields to mail.Message
- Add --ephemeral flag to gt mail send
- Router auto-detects lifecycle message patterns
- Mailbox merges messages from both persistent and wisp storage
- Inbox displays (ephemeral) indicator for wisp messages
- Delete/archive works for both message types

Code review fixes:
1. CRITICAL: Move polecat check to start of runSling
- Previously wrote wisp THEN failed, leaving orphan
- Now fails fast before any file operations
2. CRITICAL: Sanitize slashes in agent IDs for filenames
- Agent IDs like 'gastown/crew/joe' were creating subdirs
- Now converts '/' to '--' for safe filenames
- Added sanitizeAgentID/unsanitizeAgentID helpers
3. MODERATE: Use git root instead of WorkDir in prime.go
- Hooks are written to clone root, not cwd
- Added getGitRoot() helper for consistency
4. MODERATE: Fix silent error swallowing
- Now logs non-ErrNoHook errors when reading hooks
- Warns if bead doesn't exist before burning hook
- Preserves hook if bead is missing for debugging
- Removed "Multiple Gas Towns in One Location" section from hq.md
- Removed PGT/GGT coexistence references
- Updated Implementation Status to reflect Go-only codebase
- Simplified Project Info in CLAUDE.md

Phase 1 of tracer bullet: Slinging Handoff
- Add internal/wisp package for ephemeral work attachment
- Add gt sling command to attach work and restart
- Update gt prime to check/burn slung work on hook
- Add .beads-wisp/ to gitignore
The resume prompt wasn't getting its Enter key reliably. Changed from
SendKeysDelayedDebounced (3s delay, 300ms debounce) to NudgeSession
(5s delay, 500ms debounce) which is the battle-tested method for
messaging Claude sessions.
