- Renamed from "Two-Level" to "Three-Tier" to include wisps
- Added rig wisps tier (.beads-wisp/) for ephemeral patrol state
- Clarified deacon uses town beads (not rig beads)
- Added git tracking status for each tier

Documents how beads serves as the universal data store for all agent
coordination: work molecules, mail messages, hooks, and inboxes are
all issues with consistent field semantics.
Key insights:
- Mail reuses assignee (to), title (subject), labels (from:)
- Hooks and inboxes are queries, not containers
- Two-level architecture: town beads (mail) vs rig beads (work)

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.

resolveRoleToSession now accepts paths like <rig>/crew/<name>,
<rig>/witness, and <rig>/refinery in addition to role shortcuts.
For example: 'gt handoff gastown/crew/max' now works.

- Update gt handoff to detect polecats (via GT_POLECAT env var) and
call gt done instead of respawning - polecats have Witness-managed lifecycle
- Update CLAUDE.md Session End Checklist to use gt handoff
- This is the canonical way to end any agent session - it handles mail,
respawn, and context restoration via SessionStart hook

- crew.md: Use gt handoff instead of manual mail for handoff
- witness.md: Use gt handoff in Session Self-Cycling section
- refinery.md: Simplify Session Self-Cycling to use gt handoff
- deacon.md: Add Session Self-Cycling section with gt handoff
All non-polecat roles now consistently document gt handoff as the
canonical way to end sessions. Polecats use gt done (handled by Witness).

buildRestartCommand now detects the town root and includes a cd to the
appropriate directory before launching claude. This ensures each role
starts in its correct working directory:
- gt-mayor → town root (~/gt)
- gt-deacon → ~/gt/deacon
- crew sessions → ~/gt/<rig>/crew/<name>
- witness sessions → ~/gt/<rig>/witness
- refinery sessions → ~/gt/<rig>/refinery

The daemon was creating the deacon session in ~/gt (town root) which loaded
the Mayor CLAUDE.md instead of the Deacon CLAUDE.md. Also, tmux SetEnvironment
does not export variables to spawned processes.
Changes:
- Create deacon session in ~/gt/deacon (correct CLAUDE.md)
- Export GT_ROLE=deacon in launch command (process inherits env)
- Apply to both initial launch and restart paths

Added comment explaining that the pinned field gets overwritten by
subsequent bd commands due to a bug in the beads auto-import logic.
The handoff bead attachment mechanism works correctly and is the
primary work assignment mechanism.

New command that sends a message to all active workers (polecats + crew).
Supports filtering by rig with --rig flag, and can include infrastructure
agents (mayor, deacon, witness, refinery) with --all flag.
Usage:
gt broadcast "Check your mail"
gt broadcast --rig gastown "New work available"
gt broadcast --all "System maintenance in 5 minutes"
gt broadcast --dry-run "Test"

Add doctor check to detect handoff beads for agents that no longer exist.
This happens when a polecat worktree is deleted but its handoff bead remains.
- Check: orphaned-attachments
- Warning if: Handoff bead exists for agent that no longer has worktree
- Supports polecats (rig/name), crew (rig/crew/name), mayor, witness, refinery
- Suggests re-sling to active agent or close the molecule
