Extract closeDescendants() helper that:
- Recursively closes all descendants (not just direct children)
- Logs errors instead of silent failure
- Uses distinct variable names (no shadowing)
- Is reused by both burn and squash
This handles nested molecules from the Christmas Ornament pattern.

When burning or squashing a molecule, now also closes all child step
issues. Previously only the molecule attachment was detached, leaving
orphaned step issues that accumulated over time.

- Update polecat manager to use bare repo when available
- Add git.NewGitWithDir() and CloneBare() for bare repo support
- Update gt rig init to create bare repo architecture for new rigs

Previously C-b n and C-b p only cycled between crew sessions in the
same rig. Now they cycle across ALL crew sessions regardless of rig.
This enables quick switching between gastown/joe and beads/emma with
a single keystroke.

The crew add command was not parsing rig/name format (e.g., "beads/emma"),
which caused nested directories like crew/beads/emma to be created instead
of properly routing to the beads rig.
Now `gt crew add beads/emma` from any directory correctly creates the crew
workspace in the beads rig at beads/crew/emma/.

- Moved pending.go from deacon/ to polecat/ package
- Changed storage location from deacon/pending.json to spawn/pending.json
- Added 'gt spawn pending' subcommand for listing/clearing pending spawns
- Deprecated 'gt deacon pending' (still works, shows deprecation notice)
This decouples pending spawn observation from the Deacon role - anyone
can now observe pending polecats (Mayor, humans, debugging, etc.).

When gt spawns agents (polecats, crew, patrol roles), it now sets the
BD_ACTOR env var so that bd commands (like `bd hook`) know the agent
identity without coupling to gt.
Updated spawn points:
- gt up (mayor, deacon, witness via ensureSession/ensureWitness)
- gt deacon start
- gt witness start
- gt start refinery
- gt mayor start
- Daemon deacon restart
- Daemon lifecycle restart
- Handoff respawn
- Refinery manager start
BD_ACTOR uses slash format (e.g., gastown/witness, gastown/crew/max)
while GT_ROLE may use dash format internally.

Implements auto-triggering of polecats after spawn:
- New pending.go in deacon package tracks pending spawns
- CheckInboxForSpawns reads POLECAT_STARTED messages
- TriggerPendingSpawns polls WaitForClaudeReady and nudges when ready
- PruneStalePending removes spawns older than 5 minutes
The Deacon can now call `gt deacon trigger-pending` during patrol to
automatically send "Begin." to newly spawned polecats once Claude is ready.

Unified the two overlapping role detection structs:
- RoleContext (prime.go) is now a type alias for RoleInfo
- detectRole() now returns RoleInfo directly
- Added WorkDir field to RoleInfo
- GetRoleWithContext now populates WorkDir
This eliminates code duplication between prime.go and role.go while
maintaining backward compatibility through the type alias.
Adds ClearHistory method to tmux package and calls it before
respawn-pane during handoff. This resets copy-mode display
from [0/N] to [0/0] for a clean session start.

When --on is specified, the first argument is a formula name:

This applies the formula to existing work, creating wisp scaffolding

- Add --on flag to gt sling command
- Verify both bead and formula exist before slinging
- Update dry-run output to show formula info

When spawning a polecat with --issue, now creates a wisp hook file in the
polecat's .beads/ directory. This allows gt mol status to find the slung
work via the propulsion protocol.
Changes:
- Import wisp package
- Get polecat object after creation to access ClonePath
- Write SlungWork hook file with bead ID, subject, and context
- gt prime: New AUTONOMOUS WORK MODE prompt with clear DO/DON'T instructions
- gt prime: Skip normal startup directive when in autonomous mode
- gt prime: Search multiple beads locations for Mayor's beads
- gt sling: Use GetRole() for role detection instead of cwd
- gt sling: Store hooks in role's home directory, not git root
This ensures hooks work correctly regardless of where commands are run from.
Mayor's hooks always go to ~/gt/.beads/ even when running from a rig dir.
Replace bd mol run call with separate bd commands:
1. bd pour - creates issues from proto template
2. bd update --status=in_progress - claims work
3. bd pin - pins root for session recovery
This moves orchestration logic into gt (where it belongs) and keeps
bd as pure data operations. Coordinated with bd-00u3 which deprecates
bd mol run.

- New gt role subcommands: show, home, detect, list, env
- Role detection now checks GT_ROLE env var first, falls back to cwd
- gt prime shows warning when role/cwd mismatch detected
- gt mol status uses env-aware role detection
- gt handoff injects GT_ROLE and resets to role canonical home
- Fixed witness/refinery home paths (was missing /rig suffix)
This prevents role confusion when agents wander to wrong directories.
After handoff, agents are always restored to their canonical home.
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.

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.

The hook system had two disconnected mechanisms:

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
Phase 1 of tracer bullet: Slinging Handoff
- Add internal/wisp package for ephemeral work attachment
- Add gt sling command to attach work and restart

When running `gt crew at` from inside tmux:

- Just prints "Started X. Use C-b s to switch."
- User stays in their current pane
When running from outside tmux:
- Default: attach to the session (existing behavior)
- With -d/--detached: start session without attaching
This gives users more control over tmux session navigation and

Remove Go code that makes workflow decisions. All health checking,
staleness detection, nudging, and escalation belongs in the Deacon
molecule where Claude executes it.
Removed:
- internal/daemon/backoff.go (190 lines) - exponential backoff decisions
- internal/doctor/stale_check.go (284 lines) - staleness detection
- IsFresh/IsStale/IsVeryStale from keepalive.go
- pokeMayor, pokeWitnesses, pokeWitness from daemon.go
- Heartbeat staleness classification from pokeDeacon
Changed:
- Lifecycle parsing now uses structured body (JSON or simple text)
instead of keyword matching on subject line
- Daemon now only ensures Deacon is running and sends simple heartbeats
- No backoff, no staleness classification, no decision-making
Total: ~800 lines removed from Go code
The Deacon molecule will handle all health checking, nudging, and
escalation. Go is now just a message router.
