The mrqueue package was aspirational 'beads-based MR automation' that was
never completed. The Refinery agent is prompt-driven and uses beads/mail
for coordination, not a Go-based polling queue.
Removed:
- internal/mrqueue/mrqueue.go (entire package)
- internal/cmd/mq_migrate.go (migration command for mrqueue)
- mrqueue submission from done.go and mq_submit.go
- Engineer.ProcessMRFromQueue() and related queue handlers
- Engineer.Run(), Stop(), processOnce() methods
- mrQueue field and stopCh from Engineer struct
- stopCh assertion from TestNewEngineer
Kept:
- Bead creation for merge-requests (audit record)
- Engineer struct and NewEngineer for potential future use
- Engineer.ProcessMR() (works with beads.Issue)
- Manager.ProcessMR() which is the working implementation

stderr on failure for debugging
- orphans.go: git fsck now includes stderr in error messages

Added multiple layers of protection against circular redirects:
1. ResolveBeadsDir now detects when a redirect points back to itself
and auto-removes the errant redirect file with a warning
2. ensureBeadsRedirect now includes safety checks:
- Prevents creating redirects inside mayor/rig/ (the canonical location)
- Validates that the redirect target is not the same as the beads dir
3. Added test case for circular redirect detection

When GT_ROLE env var is not set, detectSender() now falls back to
cwd-based detection instead of immediately returning "overseer".
This allows running mail commands from witness/refinery directories
without GT_ROLE set (e.g., debugging sessions) and correctly detecting
the identity from the current working directory path.

Root cause: gt done and mq submit created merge-request beads but did
not write to the .beads/mq/ directory that the refinery Engineer
polls for work.
Changes:
- done.go: Submit to mrqueue after creating MR bead
- mq_submit.go: Submit to mrqueue after creating MR bead
- mq_migrate.go: New command to migrate existing stale MR beads
- mrqueue.go: Follow beads redirects for shared queue location
The migration command allows recovery of existing stale MRs that were
never processed because they only existed as beads.

- polecat_checked: When witness checks a polecat
- polecat_nudged: When witness nudges a stuck polecat
- escalation_sent: When witness escalates to Mayor/Deacon
- patrol_complete: When patrol cycle finishes
Also adds refinery merge queue events for future use:

The swarm status was stale because bd commands were running from the rig
root path instead of the mayor/rig clone which has proper beads sync config.
Changes:
- Add Rig.BeadsPath() method to return mayor/rig path when available
- Update all bd commands in swarm.go to use BeadsPath()
- Update swarm manager to use separate beadsDir and gitDir paths
- beadsDir for bd commands (git-synced location)
- gitDir for git operations and mail (rig root)
This ensures swarm status reflects the latest beads data from the
git-synced beads-sync branch instead of stale local daemon data.

Previously, UpdateAgentState embedded hook_bead in the description

- `bd agent state` for agent_state (updates column directly)
- `bd slot set/clear` for hook_bead (updates column directly)

Agent session molecules (gt-gastown-crew-joe, gt-gastown-witness, etc.)
update frequently for status tracking, creating noisy entries in the
activity feed. This change:
- Adds IsAgentSessionBead() to identify agent session beads
- Filters out "update" events for agent sessions from the event feed
- Still updates the agent tree so status is visible there
- Still shows create/complete/fail/delete events for agents
The filtering happens in addEvent() in the TUI feed model. Agent session
updates are identified by parsing the bead ID pattern and checking for
known agent roles (mayor, deacon, witness, refinery, crew, polecat).

Phase 1 of activity feed improvements: gt commands now log events to

(phase 2) will curate into the user-facing feed.
Instrumented commands:
- gt sling: logs sling events with bead and target
- gt hook: logs hook events with bead
- gt handoff: logs handoff events with subject
- gt done: logs done events with bead and branch
- gt mail send: logs mail events with to and subject
Event format follows the specification:

"actor":"gastown/crew/joe","payload":{...},"visibility":"feed"}

When using `gt sling <formula> --on <bead>`, the command now properly
instantiates the formula as a molecule and bonds it to the target bead:
1. Cook the formula (ensures proto exists)
2. Create wisp with feature variable from bead title
3. Bond wisp to original bead (creates compound)
4. Hook the compound root (not bare bead) to target agent
This enables the "shiny" workflow (design→implement→review→test→submit)
to be applied to existing bugs/features, ensuring polecats complete all
phases including the code review step.
Example:
gt sling shiny --on gt-abc gastown

This fix addresses the issue where polecat sessions terminate unexpectedly
during work without recovery:
Changes:
- Add `checkPolecatSessionHealth()` to daemon heartbeat loop
- Proactively validates tmux sessions are alive for polecats
- Detects crashed polecats that have work-on-hook
- Auto-restarts crashed polecats with proper environment setup
- Notifies Witness if restart fails as fallback
- Add polecat support to lifecycle identity mapping
- `identityToSession()` now handles polecat identities
- `restartSession()` can restart crashed polecat sessions
- `identityToStateFile()` handles polecat state files
- `identityToAgentBeadID()` handles polecat agent beads
- `identityToBDActor()` handles polecat BD_ACTOR conversion
- Add `gt session check` command for manual health checking
- Validates tmux sessions exist for all polecats
- Shows summary of healthy vs not-running sessions
- Useful for debugging session issues
This provides faster recovery (within heartbeat interval) compared to
waiting for GUPP violation timeout (30 min) or Witness detection.

When slinging to an existing polecat with --naked flag, the code was still
attempting to look up the tmux pane, which fails for terminated polecats.
Now resolveTargetAgent accepts a skipPane parameter that bypasses the tmux
pane and working directory lookup when true.
This allows work to be slung to terminated polecats that will be restarted
manually later.
Also updated unsling to skip pane lookup since it only needs the agent ID.

- Executed-By: agent identity (e.g., beads/crew/dave)
- Rig: the rig name

This enables forensic analysis and audit trails for agent-mediated commits.
Supports common git commit flags: -a, --amend, --no-edit, --allow-empty.
Use --no-trailers to skip adding identity trailers.

Change daemon from wake-focused to recovery-focused:
Before: Daemon pokes agents every 5-60min as primary wake
After: Daemon only checks for edge cases that feed-wake cannot handle
Recovery checks:
- Dead sessions that need restart (ensureDeaconRunning, ensureWitnessesRunning)
- Stale agents that crashed without updating state (checkStaleAgents)
- GUPP violations: agents with work-on-hook not progressing (checkGUPPViolations)
- Orphaned work: work assigned to dead agents (checkOrphanedWork)
Removed:
- pokeDeacon() - no longer sending HEARTBEAT messages
- pokeWitness()/pokeWitnesses() - no longer sending HEARTBEAT messages
- MOTD message arrays - only used by poke functions
Normal agent wake is now handled by feed subscription (bd activity --follow).
