- Rig-level: gt-<rig>-witness, gt-<rig>-refinery (was gt-witness-<rig>)

All agent bead creation now uses shared role beads:
- gt-mayor-role, gt-deacon-role
- gt-witness-role, gt-refinery-role
- gt-crew-role, gt-polecat-role
Previous code created per-instance role bead references like
gt-witness-gastown-role which is wrong. Role beads are shared
class definitions, not per-instance.

Updated callers:

Adds a new fixable doctor check that verifies beads routing configuration:
- Checks if routes.jsonl exists
- Verifies all rigs have routing entries (by path, not just prefix)
- Validates that routes point to valid locations with .beads directories
- Can auto-fix by adding missing routes with --fix
The check is smart about prefix mismatches: if a rig already has a route
by path (e.g., gastown/mayor/rig), it won't report it as missing even if
the prefix in rigs.json differs from what's in routes.jsonl.

Crew workers are human-managed and should never be auto-killed by
gt doctor --fix. This adds defense-in-depth protection:
1. OrphanSessionCheck.Fix() now skips any session matching the
gt-<rig>-crew-<name> pattern
2. OrphanProcessCheck.Fix() now checks if a process has a crew
session pane as an ancestor before killing it
Even if detection fails (like the pgrep bug we just fixed), crew
sessions and their processes will be protected.

The orphan-processes check was incorrectly killing active crew sessions
because pgrep -x tmux does not reliably find the tmux server on macOS.
Root cause:
- pgrep -x tmux was finding tmux attach-session processes but missing
the actual tmux server process
- Claude processes running in tmux panes were incorrectly flagged as
orphaned because their parent (tmux server) was not in the allowed list
Fixes:
1. Use ps + awk instead of pgrep to find tmux processes more reliably
2. Exclude Claude.app desktop processes from orphan detection (they are
not Gas Town CLI processes)

Previously, gt doctor --fix would kill workers whose spawning process had
exited, even though the Claude session was still running in tmux.
Now both identity_check.go and CleanStaleLocks check if the tmux session
exists before declaring a lock stale. A lock is only truly stale if BOTH
the PID is dead AND the session does not exist.
Also added ListSessionIDs() to tmux package to handle locks that store
session IDs (%N or $N format) instead of session names.
Adds CloneDivergenceCheck that detects when git clones have drifted
significantly behind origin/main:
- >10 commits behind: WARNING
- >50 commits behind: ERROR (EMERGENCY)
Only checks clones on main branch, since off-main clones are already
caught by BranchCheck. This distinguishes from beads-sync divergence
which is expected behavior.

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

Remove Go code that makes workflow decisions. All health checking,
staleness detection, nudging, and escalation belongs in the Deacon
molecule where Claude executes it.
Removed:
- internal/daemon/backoff.go (190 lines) - exponential backoff decisions
- internal/doctor/stale_check.go (284 lines) - staleness detection
- IsFresh/IsStale/IsVeryStale from keepalive.go
- pokeMayor, pokeWitnesses, pokeWitness from daemon.go
- Heartbeat staleness classification from pokeDeacon
Changed:
- Lifecycle parsing now uses structured body (JSON or simple text)
instead of keyword matching on subject line
- Daemon now only ensures Deacon is running and sends simple heartbeats
- No backoff, no staleness classification, no decision-making
Total: ~800 lines removed from Go code
The Deacon molecule will handle all health checking, nudging, and
escalation. Go is now just a message router.
