Add three built-in molecule definitions that are automatically seeded
during `gt install`:
- engineer-in-box: Full workflow from design to merge (5 steps)
- quick-fix: Fast path for small changes (3 steps)
- research: Investigation workflow (2 steps)
These molecules provide reusable workflow templates that polecats can
instantiate to execute multi-step procedures with proper dependency
tracking between steps.

Add 'gt mq integration land <epic>' command that:
- Verifies all MRs targeting integration/<epic> are merged
- Verifies integration branch exists
- Merges integration/<epic> to main (--no-ff)
- Runs tests on main (if configured)
- Pushes to origin
- Deletes integration branch (local and remote)
- Updates epic status to closed
Options:
- --force: land even if some MRs still open
- --skip-tests: skip test run
- --dry-run: preview only
Also adds:
- MergeNoFF() and DeleteRemoteBranch() to git package
- WorkDir() accessor for git.Git
- Unit tests for mq helper functions

The spawn context inject was sending Enter too quickly after pasting
large messages. Claude needs time to process the paste before Enter
is sent (Claude shows "Pasted text #1 +N lines" message).
Increased debounce timing:
- Base delay: 100ms → 200ms
- Per-KB scaling: 50ms → 100ms
- Max cap: 500ms → 1500ms
For a typical 4KB spawn context, this gives 600ms (vs 300ms before).

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.

Replace mail-based handoff system with pinned beads that persist
across sessions. This fixes the issue where handoff messages get
closed before successors can read them.
Changes:
- beads: Add StatusPinned constant and handoff functions:
- HandoffBeadTitle() for well-known naming
- FindHandoffBead() to locate role handoff bead
- GetOrCreateHandoffBead() to ensure bead exists
- UpdateHandoffContent() to set handoff message
- ClearHandoffContent() to reset after reading
- cmd/handoff: Update to use pinned beads instead of mail
- sendHandoffMail() now updates pinned bead content
- cmd/prime: Display handoff content on startup
- outputHandoffContent() reads and shows handoff bead
- cmd/rig: Add reset command with --handoff flag
- gt rig reset --handoff clears handoff content

This implements the ephemeral polecat model where polecats are spawned
fresh for each task and deleted upon completion.
Key changes:
**Spawn (internal/cmd/spawn.go):**
- Always create fresh worktree from main branch
- Run bd init in new worktree to initialize beads
- Remove --create flag (now implicit)
- Replace stale polecats with fresh worktrees
**Handoff (internal/cmd/handoff.go):**
- Add rig/polecat detection from environment and tmux session
- Send shutdown requests to correct witness (rig/witness)
- Include polecat name in lifecycle request body
**Witness (internal/witness/manager.go):**
- Add mail checking in monitoring loop
- Process LIFECYCLE shutdown requests
- Implement full cleanup sequence:
- Kill tmux session
- Remove git worktree
- Delete polecat branch
**Polecat state machine (internal/polecat/types.go):**
- Primary states: working, done, stuck
- Deprecate idle/active (kept for backward compatibility)
- New polecats start in working state
- ClearIssue transitions to done (not idle)
**Polecat commands (internal/cmd/polecat.go):**
- Update list to show "Active Polecats"
- Normalize legacy states for display
- Add deprecation warnings to wake/sleep commands

Changes:
- Remove creation of mayor/mail/ directory with legacy JSONL inbox
- Initialize town-level beads DB (gm- prefix) via `bd init` instead of
creating a .beads/redirect placeholder file
- Update help text and next-steps output to reflect new architecture
Town beads (gm-*) store mayor mail, cross-rig coordination, and handoffs.
Rig beads remain separate with their own prefixes.

The spawn command now accepts --polecat and --rig flags as an

Implement 'gt mq integration create <epic>' command to create integration
branches for batch work on epics. The command:
1. Verifies the epic exists in beads
2. Creates branch integration/<epic-id> from origin/main
3. Pushes the branch to origin
4. Stores integration branch info in the epic's metadata
Also adds helper methods to git package:
- CreateBranchFrom: create branch from specific ref
- BranchExists: check if local branch exists
- RemoteBranchExists: check if branch exists on remote
Future MRs for the epic's children can target the integration branch
with: gt mq submit --epic <epic-id>

Adds two new commands to transition polecats back to idle state:
- gt polecat done (alias: finish): Transitions from working/done/stuck
states to idle, clearing the assigned issue. For normal workflow when
work is complete but session was not properly cleaned up.
- gt polecat reset: Force resets any state to idle. For recovery when
polecat is stuck in an unexpected state.
Both commands check that the session is stopped before modifying state.

When using `gt spawn rig --create` and no polecats exist (or all are

name and creates it, rather than failing with "no available polecats".
