Temporal language like "Phase 1 blocks Phase 2" triggers incorrect
dependency direction. Added a concise warning to all 6 role templates
(crew, polecat, mayor, witness, refinery, deacon) reminding agents:
- Think "X needs Y", not "X comes before Y"
- Verify with `bd blocked`

Most MRs are button-pushes (clean rebase + push). Only complex rebases
(conflicts, test failures) consume significant context.
- 20 simple MRs before handoff
- Immediate handoff after any complex rebase

Each patrol role now has role-specific context management:
- Deacon: 20 loops or immediate on extraordinary action
- Witness: 15 polecats processed (spawns + nudges + decommissions)
- Refinery: 7 merge requests processed
Templates include state.json format and handoff instructions.

Updated all role prompt templates to document the startup hook protocol:
- polecat.md.tmpl: Added gt mol status check, self-pin from mail protocol
- witness.md.tmpl: Added gt mol status check, self-pin from mail protocol
- refinery.md.tmpl: Added gt mol status check, self-pin from mail protocol
- crew.md.tmpl: Added new Startup Protocol section with hook-first flow
- deacon.md.tmpl: Added gt mol status check, self-pin from mail protocol
- mayor.md.tmpl: Expanded startup protocol with hook-first flow
Each template now includes:
1. Check hook first (gt mol status)
2. If empty, check mail for attached work
3. Self-pin protocol (gt mol attach-from-mail) if needed
4. Role-specific fallback behavior

Apply the Universal Gas Town Propulsion Principle to all agent templates:
"If you find something on your hook, YOU RUN IT."
Changes:
- deacon.md.tmpl: Hook-first startup, no decision logic
- polecat.md.tmpl: Simplified propulsion startup, molecule-following
- witness.md.tmpl: Wisp slinging when spawning, propulsion loop
- refinery.md.tmpl: Accept slung branches, hook-based execution
Key principle: Agents don't decide whether to do work. They check their hook
and execute what's there. The hook IS the decision.

Adds documentation for the critical pileup processing protocol:
- Process ONE branch at a time
- Rebase each on current main before merging
- Push immediately after each merge
- Main moves forward, next branch must rebase on NEW main

The Refinery now runs as a Claude agent in a tmux session instead of
a Go-based polling loop. This aligns it with how polecats work and
enables intelligent MR processing.
Changes:
- Modified refinery.Start() to spawn Claude session (not gt refinery --foreground)
- Added gt refinery attach command for interactive access to refinery session
- Updated refinery.md.tmpl with comprehensive Claude agent instructions
- Added startup directive in gt prime for refinery role
The --foreground mode is preserved for backwards compatibility but the
default behavior now launches a Claude agent that can review diffs,
run tests, handle conflicts, and notify workers via mail.
