GUPP (Gas Town Universal Propulsion Principle) is the propulsion nudge sent
after beacon to trigger autonomous work execution. Previously only polecats
received this nudge.
Now all roles get role-specific propulsion nudges on startup:
- Polecat/Crew: "Run `gt hook` to check your hook and begin work."
- Witness: "Run `gt prime` to check patrol status and begin work."
- Refinery: "Run `gt prime` to check MQ status and begin patrol."
- Deacon: "Run `gt prime` to check patrol status and begin heartbeat cycle."
- Mayor: "Run `gt prime` to check mail and begin coordination."
Changes:
- internal/session/names.go: Add PropulsionNudgeForRole() function
- internal/cmd/witness.go: Add GUPP nudge to ensureWitnessSession
- internal/cmd/start.go: Add GUPP nudge to ensureRefinerySession (also
converted from respawn loop to direct Claude launch like other roles)
- internal/cmd/deacon.go: Add GUPP nudge to startDeaconSession
- internal/cmd/mayor.go: Add GUPP nudge to startMayorSession

The hook is the user-facing concept, molecules are implementation details.
Agents should use `gt hook` to check what work is assigned to them.

SessionStart now sends a PropulsionNudge after the beacon to trigger
Claude to check the hook and begin work immediately. This makes the
propulsion principle bulletproof - agents no longer wait for witness
to nudge them.
GUPP = Gas Town Universal Propulsion Principle:
"If work is on your hook, YOU RUN IT."

Inject an identity beacon as the first message when Gas Town starts Claude
sessions. This beacon becomes the session title in Claude Code '/resume
picker, enabling workers to find their predecessor sessions for debugging.
Beacon format: [GAS TOWN] <address> • <mol-id or "ready"> • <timestamp>
Examples:
- [GAS TOWN] gastown/crew/max • gt-abc12 • 2025-12-30T14:32
- [GAS TOWN] gastown/polecats/Toast • ready • 2025-12-30T09:15
- [GAS TOWN] deacon • patrol • 2025-12-30T08:00
Workers can now press / in /resume picker and search for their address
(e.g., "gastown/crew/max") to see all predecessor sessions.
Note: Respawn-loop agents (deacon/refinery via up.go) skip beacon injection
since Claude restarts multiple times - would need post-restart injection.

Create helper functions in internal/session/names.go for consistent
session name construction across Gas Town agents:
- MayorSessionName()
- DeaconSessionName()
- WitnessSessionName(rig)
- RefinerySessionName(rig)
- CrewSessionName(rig, name)
- PolecatSessionName(rig, name)
Includes comprehensive unit tests in names_test.go.
