The hook mechanism was broken because gt hook sets status=hooked
but gt mol status was querying for status=pinned.

Implements canonical naming convention for agent bead IDs:
- Town-level: gt-mayor, gt-deacon (unchanged)
- Rig-level: gt-<rig>-witness, gt-<rig>-refinery (was gt-witness-<rig>)
- Named: gt-<rig>-crew-<name>, gt-<rig>-polecat-<name> (was gt-crew-<rig>-<name>)
Changes:
- Added AgentBeadID helper functions to internal/beads/beads.go
- Updated all ID generation call sites to use helpers
- Fixed session parsing in theme.go, statusline.go, agents.go
- Updated doctor check and fix to use canonical format
- Updated tests for new format

Instead of Go code checking git state to decide if polecat removal is safe,
the polecat now self-reports its cleanup_status via its agent bead.
Changes:
- Add CleanupStatus field to AgentFields struct
- Update FormatAgentDescription and ParseAgentFields for cleanup_status
- Add UpdateAgentCleanupStatus function to beads package
- Update gt done to compute and report git cleanup status
- Update RemoveWithOptions to read cleanup_status from agent bead first,
falling back to git check for backward compatibility
Valid cleanup_status values:
- clean: no uncommitted work
- has_uncommitted: has uncommitted changes
- has_stash: has stashed changes
- has_unpushed: has unpushed commits
- unknown: git check failed
This follows ZFC (Zero Figuring in Code) principles - the polecat is the
authority on its own state, not Go code inferring it from external signals.

- Add checkStaleAgents() to detect agents reporting "running" but not updating
- Add markAgentDead() to update agent bead state to "dead"
- Integrate stale agent check into heartbeat cycle
- DeadAgentTimeout set to 15 minutes
This is a safety mechanism for agents that crash without updating their state.
The daemon now marks them as dead so they can be restarted.
Also fixes duplicate AgentFields declaration - now uses beads.go version with
ParseAgentFieldsFromDescription alias in fields.go.

Create ephemeral agent beads for ZFC-compliant polecat state tracking.
- Add AgentFields struct and helpers to beads package
- CreateAgentBead: Creates agent bead with role_type/rig/agent_state
- UpdateAgentState: Updates agent_state and hook_bead fields
- DeleteAgentBead: Hard-deletes ephemeral agent bead
- GetAgentBead: Retrieves and parses agent bead
- Integrate lifecycle in polecat manager:
- Add(): Creates gt-polecat-<rig>-<name> bead with state=spawning
- Recreate(): Deletes old bead, creates fresh with state=spawning
- RemoveWithOptions(): Deletes agent bead on nuke
This enables Witness to read polecat state from beads instead of
tmux scraping. State updates (spawning→working→done) are done by
polecats via bd agent state (separate beads CLI enhancement).

All 156 instances of _ = error suppression in non-test code now have
explanatory comments documenting why the error is intentionally ignored.
Categories of intentional suppressions:
- non-fatal: session works without these - tmux environment setup
- non-fatal: theming failure does not affect operation - visual styling
- best-effort cleanup - defer cleanup on failure paths
- best-effort notification - mail/notifications that should not block
- best-effort interrupt - graceful shutdown attempts
- crypto/rand.Read only fails on broken system - random ID generation
- output errors non-actionable - fmt.Fprint to io.Writer
This addresses the silent failure and debugging concerns raised in the

Polecats share the same beads database at the rig level. The refinery
and witness manage syncing beads. Running bd sync on polecat startup
causes contention when multiple polecats spawn simultaneously and
creates potential race conditions.
This change removes bd sync --from-main from:
- prompts/roles/polecat.md On Startup section
- internal/beads/molecules_session.go orient step
- internal/beads/molecules_work.go orient step
- docs/polecat-wisp-architecture.md load context section
Troubleshooting sections that recommend bd sync --from-main for
recovery scenarios are preserved.

- Remove 3-second sleep and NudgeSession from spawn.go
(Claude takes 10-20s to initialize, message arrived too early)
- Add trigger-pending-spawns step to deacon patrol molecule
(Deacon polls with WaitForClaudeReady, sends trigger when ready)
- SessionStart hook handles gt prime (internal, reliable)
- Deacon sends minimal 'Begin.' trigger to start polecat working
The spawn command now returns immediately after starting the session.
The deacon's patrol cycle will trigger the polecat when it's ready.
Introduces Proto → Wisp → Mol architecture for agent sessions:
- mol-crew-session: Light harness enabling autonomous overnight work
Key insight: if attached mol exists, continue without awaiting input
- mol-polecat-session: One-shot wisp wrapping polecat work assignments
Handles onboard → execute → cleanup lifecycle
This separates "how to work" (proto) from "what to work on" (mol),
enabling session continuity and autonomous long-mol processing.

The Refinery now has a formal patrol molecule with structural enforcement
of the Beads Promise via the handle-failures verification gate.
Changes:
- Add RefineryPatrolMolecule() to builtin_molecules.go with 10 steps
- Add prompts/roles/refinery.md template following deacon/witness pattern
- Update test to expect 9 built-in molecules
Key insight: The handle-failures step is a GATE - you cannot proceed to
merge-push without either fixing the issue or filing a bead. This makes
disavowal structurally impossible, not just philosophically discouraged.

Implement DFS-based cycle detection in ValidateMolecule to catch
circular dependencies in molecule step graphs. The algorithm uses
three-color marking (unvisited/visiting/visited) to detect back
edges that indicate cycles.
When a cycle is detected, the error message shows the cycle path
(e.g., "a -> b -> c -> a") for easy debugging.
Add 4 new tests:
- SimpleCycle: A -> B -> A
- LongerCycle: A -> B -> C -> A
- DiamondNoCycle: ensures valid diamond patterns pass
- CycleInSubgraph: cycle not involving root node
