- Fix beads.run() to always explicitly set BEADS_DIR based on the working
directory or explicit override
- This prevents inherited environment variables (e.g., from mayor session
with BEADS_DIR=/home/erik/gt/.beads) from causing prefix mismatch errors
when creating agent beads for rigs
- Update polecat manager to use NewWithBeadsDir for explicitness
- Add comprehensive test coverage for BEADS_DIR routing and validation
- Add SessionLister interface for deterministic orphan session testing
Root cause: When BEADS_DIR was set in the parent environment, all bd
commands used the town database (hq- prefix) instead of the rig database
(gt- prefix), causing "prefix mismatch: database uses 'hq' but you
specified 'gt'" errors during polecat spawn.

When a polecat is nuked and re-spawned with the same name, CreateAgentBead
fails with a UNIQUE constraint error because the old agent bead exists as
a tombstone.
This adds CreateOrReopenAgentBead that:
1. First tries to create the agent bead normally
2. If UNIQUE constraint fails, reopens the existing bead and updates fields
Updated both spawn paths in polecat manager to use the new function.

Phase 1 of dynamic priming subsystem:
1. PRIME.md provisioning for all workers (hq-5z76w, hq-ukjrr Part A)
- Added ProvisionPrimeMD to beads package with Gas Town context template
- Provision at rig level in AddRig() so all workers inherit it
- Added fallback provisioning in crew and polecat managers
- Created PRIME.md for existing rigs
2. Post-handoff detection to prevent handoff loop bug (hq-ukjrr Part B)
- Added FileHandoffMarker constant (.runtime/handoff_to_successor)
- gt handoff writes marker before respawn
- gt prime detects marker and outputs "HANDOFF COMPLETE" warning
- Marker cleared after detection to prevent duplicate warnings
3. Priming health checks for gt doctor (hq-5scnt)
- New priming_check.go validates priming subsystem configuration
- Checks: SessionStart hook, gt prime command, PRIME.md presence
- Warns if CLAUDE.md is too large (should be bootstrap pointer)
- Fixable: provisions missing PRIME.md files
This ensures crew workers get Gas Town context (GUPP, hooks, propulsion)
even if the gt prime hook fails, via bd prime fallback.

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.

- 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

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.

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

* feat: Beads redirect architecture for tracked and local beads
This change implements proper redirect handling so that all rig agents
(Witness, Refinery, Crew, Polecats) can work with both:
- Tracked beads: .beads/ checked into git at mayor/rig/.beads
- Local beads: .beads/ created at rig root during gt rig add
Key changes:
1. SetupRedirect now handles tracked beads by skipping redirect chains.
The bd CLI doesn't support chains (A→B→C), so worktrees redirect
directly to the final destination (mayor/rig/.beads for tracked).
2. ResolveBeadsDir is now used consistently in polecat and refinery
managers instead of hardcoded mayor/rig paths.
3. Rig-level agents (witness, refinery) now use rig beads with rig
prefix instead of town beads. This follows the architecture where
town beads are only for Mayor/Deacon.
4. prime.go simplified to always use ../../.beads for crew redirects,
letting rig-level redirect handle tracked vs local routing.

When creating agent beads for polecats or crew workers, the code was
using the rig root path (e.g., ~/gt/infra-dashboard/) instead of the
mayor/rig path where the actual beads database lives.
The rig root .beads/ directory only contains config.yaml with no
database. When bd runs from there, it walks up the directory tree
and finds the town-level beads database (with 'gm' prefix) instead
of the rig's database (with the rig's prefix like 'id'). This causes
prefix mismatch errors:
Error: prefix mismatch: database uses 'gm' but you specified 'id'
The routes.jsonl file maps rig prefixes to <rig>/mayor/rig, so the
code should always use that path for beads operations.

Route to the correct beads location based on whether the source repo

Updates both route registration in rig.go and polecat manager's
NewManager/setupSharedBeads to use consistent conditional logic.
When slinging work to a rig (auto-spawning a polecat), the hook_bead
is now set atomically during agent bead creation rather than in a
separate updateAgentHookBead call after spawn.
This fixes cross-beads routing issues when town beads (hq-*) are slung
to rig polecats (gt-* agent beads). By setting hook_bead at creation
time within the polecat manager context, the correct beads routing is
used.
Changes:

- Add AddWithOptions() and RecreateWithOptions() functions
- Pass HookBead through SlingSpawnOptions in cmd/polecat_spawn.go
- Pass beadID as HookBead in cmd/sling.go for rig target spawns
