Implement reusable name pool for polecat workers:
- Pool of 50 names (polecat-01 through polecat-50)
- Prefers lower-numbered slots for allocation
- Overflow uses rigname-N format when pool exhausted
- Pool names are reusable, overflow names are not
- State persisted to .gastown/namepool.json
Changes:
- Add NamePool type with Allocate/Release/Reconcile
- Integrate with polecat.Manager (auto-loads/saves)
- Update gt spawn to use AllocateName() from pool
- Remove legacy polecatNames list and generatePolecatName()
- Add comprehensive tests for name pooling
Benefits:
- Tmux sessions survive polecat restarts (same name)
- Users can stay attached and see work continue
- Bounded resource usage for common case
- Scales beyond 50 with overflow naming

Replace polecat state.json with beads assignee field for state management:
- Remove state.json read/write from polecat.Manager
- Add loadFromBeads() to derive state from issue.assignee field
- Update AssignIssue() to set issue.assignee in beads
- Update ClearIssue() to clear assignee from beads
- Update SetState() to work with beads or gracefully degrade
- Add ListByAssignee and GetAssignedIssue to beads package
- Update spawn to create beads issues for free-form tasks
- Update tests for new beads-based architecture
State derivation:
- Polecat exists: worktree directory exists
- Polecat assigned: issue.assignee = 'rig/polecatName'
- Polecat working: issue.status = open/in_progress
- Polecat done: issue.status = closed or no assignee

Add `gt molecule` subcommands for managing workflow templates:
- list: Show all molecules (type=molecule issues)
- show: Display molecule with parsed step structure
- parse: Validate molecule and show parsed details
- instantiate: Create child beads from molecule template
- instances: Show all instantiations of a molecule
Also add `--molecule` flag to `gt spawn` for molecule-based workflows.
When specified, the molecule is instantiated on the parent issue first,
then the polecat is spawned on the first ready step.

The spawn command now accepts --polecat and --rig flags as an
alternative to the positional rig/polecat argument. When using
--polecat without --rig, the rig is inferred from the current
working directory.
Examples:
gt spawn --issue gt-xyz --polecat Angharad
gt spawn --issue gt-abc --rig gastown --polecat Toast

When using `gt spawn rig --create` and no polecats exist (or all are
busy), the command now automatically generates a Mad Max themed polecat
name and creates it, rather than failing with "no available polecats".
This improves agent UX by making the --create flag work intuitively.

Add Cobra aliases to match PGT abbreviation support:
- mayor → may (gt may at now works)
- session → sess
- refinery → ref
- spawn → sp
- polecat → cat
- status → stat
This enables the same abbreviated commands that worked in PGT, like
"gt may at" to attach to the Mayor session.

- spawn.go: Parse bd show --json as array, fix issue_type json tag
- session/manager.go: Check filesystem directly in hasPolecat()
to handle newly-created polecats
- swarm/manager.go: Use bd show to get children via dependents field
instead of non-existent bd list --parent flag
