When a human attaches to mayor via gt mayor and the runtime has
exited, it restarts with Topic: attach. But FormatStartupNudge
did not include instructions for this topic, causing Claude to act
generically instead of checking hook/mail.
Add attach to the list of topics that get explicit instructions.

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.

Add fallback instructions to start/restart topics in FormatStartupNudge()
so agents have actionable instructions even if SessionStart hook fails.
Previously, "start" and "restart" beacons only contained metadata like:
[GAS TOWN] beads/crew/fang <- human • 2025-01-12 • start
If the SessionStart hook failed to inject context via `gt prime`, agents
would sit idle at "No recent activity" screen with no instructions.
Now these topics include:
Run `gt prime` now for full context, then check your hook and mail.
Also warn instead of silently discarding settings provisioning errors in
crew_at.go.

Polecats were burning 48k+ tokens on exploratory work when spawned because
the startup beacon was informational-only. By the time the propulsion nudge
arrived 2 seconds later, the agent had already started exploring.
The handoff topic already had explicit instructions; this adds the same
pattern for assigned work: "Work is on your hook. Run gt hook now."

When a session starts via handoff, the nudge message now includes
clear instructions to check hook and mail. This prevents agent
confusion when SessionStart hooks haven't loaded CLAUDE.md yet.

Creates internal/session/startup.go with StartupNudgeConfig struct
and StartupNudge function. Format becomes session title in /resume picker:
[GAS TOWN] recipient <- sender • timestamp • topic[:mol-id]
