All agents now receive their startup beacon + role-specific instructions via
the CLI prompt, making sessions identifiable in /resume picker while removing
unreliable post-startup nudges.
Changes:
- Rename FormatStartupNudge → FormatStartupBeacon, StartupNudgeConfig → BeaconConfig
- Remove StartupNudge() function (no longer needed)
- Remove PropulsionNudge() and PropulsionNudgeForRole() functions
- Update deacon, witness, refinery, polecat managers to include beacon in CLI prompt
- Update boot to inline beacon (can't import session due to import cycle)
- Update daemon/lifecycle.go to include beacon via BuildCommandWithPrompt
- Update cmd/deacon.go to include beacon in startup command
- Remove redundant StartupNudge and PropulsionNudge calls from all startup paths
The beacon is now part of the CLI prompt which is queued before Claude starts,
making it more reliable than post-startup nudges which had timing issues.
SessionStart hook runs gt prime automatically, so PropulsionNudge was redundant.

When Claude sessions were terminated using KillSession(), bash subprocesses
spawned by Claude's Bash tool could survive because they ignore SIGHUP.
This caused zombie processes to accumulate over time.
Changed all critical session termination paths to use KillSessionWithProcesses()
which explicitly kills all descendant processes before terminating the session.
Fixes: gt-ew3tk

The Start() function was returning success even if the pane died during
initialization (e.g., if Claude failed to start). This caused the caller
to get a confusing "getting pane" error when trying to use the session.
Now Start() verifies the session is still running at the end, returning
a clear error message if the session died during startup.

Add validateIssue() to check that an issue exists and is not tombstoned
before creating the tmux session. This prevents CPU spin loops from
agents retrying work on invalid issues.

* fix(sling_test): update test for cook dir change
The cook command no longer needs database context and runs from cwd,
not the target rig directory. Update test to match this behavior
change from bd2a5ab5.

binaries aren't available in the test environment

* refactor(config): remove BEADS_DIR from agent environment
Stop exporting BEADS_DIR in AgentEnv - agents should use beads redirect
mechanism instead of relying on environment variable. This prevents
prefix mismatches when agents operate across different beads databases.
Changes:
- Remove BeadsDir field from AgentEnvConfig
- Remove BEADS_DIR from env vars set on agent sessions
- Update doctor env_check to not expect BEADS_DIR
- Update all manager Start() calls to not pass BeadsDir

* fix(doctor): detect BEADS_DIR in tmux session environment
Add a doctor check that warns when BEADS_DIR is set in any Gas Town
tmux session. BEADS_DIR in the environment overrides prefix-based
routing and breaks multi-rig lookups - agents should use the beads
redirect mechanism instead.
The check:
- Iterates over all Gas Town tmux sessions (gt-* and hq-*)
- Checks if BEADS_DIR is set in the session environment
- Returns a warning with fix hint to restart sessions

ReconcilePool now detects and kills orphan tmux sessions (sessions without
corresponding polecat directories). This prevents allocation from being
blocked by broken state from crashed polecats.
Changes:
- Add tmux to Manager to check for orphan sessions during reconciliation
- Add ReconcilePoolWith for testable session/directory reconciliation logic
- Always clear hook_bead slot when reopening agent beads (fixes stale hooks)
- Prune stale git worktree entries during reconciliation

Create centralized AgentEnv function as single source of truth for all
agent environment variables. All agents now consistently receive:
- GT_ROLE, BD_ACTOR, GIT_AUTHOR_NAME (role identity)
- GT_ROOT, BEADS_DIR (workspace paths)
- GT_RIG, GT_POLECAT/GT_CREW (rig-specific identity)
- BEADS_AGENT_NAME, BEADS_NO_DAEMON (beads config)
- CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR (optional account selection)
Remove RoleEnvVars in favor of AgentEnvSimple wrapper.
Remove IncludeBeadsEnv flag - beads env vars always included.
Update all manager and cmd call sites to use AgentEnv.

Previously, polecat startup used hardcoded paths for BEADS_DIR that
didn't follow redirects for repos with tracked beads. This meant
polecats working in worktrees (where .beads/redirect points to the
actual beads location) would use the wrong beads directory.
Fixed locations:
- daemon.go: polecat startup now uses ResolveBeadsDir
- polecat/session_manager.go: session startup now uses ResolveBeadsDir

Agent sessions would fail on startup because send-keys arrived before the
shell was ready, causing 'bad pattern' and 'command not found' errors.
Fix: Create sessions with the command directly using tmux new-session's
command argument. This runs the agent as the pane's initial process,
avoiding shell readiness timing issues entirely.
Updated all agent managers: mayor, deacon, witness, refinery, polecat, crew.
Also fixes pre-existing build error in polecat/manager.go (polecatPath →
clonePath/newClonePath).
Closes#280

Changes polecat worktree structure from:
polecats/<name>/
to:
polecats/<name>/<rigname>/
This gives Claude Code agents a recognizable directory name (e.g., tidepool/)
in their cwd instead of just the polecat name, preventing confusion about
which repo they are working in.
Key changes:
- Add clonePath() method to manager.go and session_manager.go for the actual
git worktree path, keeping polecatDir() for existence checks
- Update Add(), RepairWorktree(), Remove() to use new structure
- Update daemon lifecycle and restart code for new paths
- Update witness handlers to detect both structures
- Update doctor checks (rig_check, branch_check, config_check,
claude_settings_check) for backward compatibility
- All code includes fallback to old structure for existing polecats
Fixes#283

Add WaitForShellReady call before SendKeys in all agent managers
(deacon, mayor, witness, refinery). This prevents intermittent
"can't find pane" errors that occur when the tmux session is
created but the shell isn't ready to receive input yet.
The issue manifests under load (e.g., during `gt up` when multiple
agents start in sequence) where the 200ms delay in SendKeysDelayed
isn't sufficient for the pane to be fully initialized.

- Create mayor.Manager for mayor lifecycle (Start/Stop/IsRunning/Status)
- Create deacon.Manager for deacon lifecycle with respawn loop
- Move session.Manager to polecat.SessionManager (clearer naming)
- Add zombie session detection for mayor/deacon (kills tmux if Claude dead)
- Remove duplicate session startup code from up.go, start.go, mayor.go
- Rename sessMgr -> polecatMgr for consistency
- Make witness/refinery SessionName() public for status display
All agent types now follow the same Manager pattern:
mgr := agent.NewManager(...)
mgr.Start(...)
mgr.Stop()
mgr.IsRunning()
mgr.Status()
