When first arg is a formula (not a bead), sling now:
1. Cooks the formula (bd cook)
2. Creates a wisp instance (bd wisp)
3. Attaches the wisp to the target hook
4. Nudges the target to start
New flags:
- --var key=value: Pass variables to formula (repeatable)
Examples:
gt sling mol-town-shutdown mayor/

The daemon now calls triggerPendingSpawns() on each heartbeat, which:
- Checks for POLECAT_STARTED messages in Deacon inbox
- Polls pending spawns with WaitForClaudeReady (2s timeout)
- Nudges ready polecats with Begin message
- Prunes stale pending spawns (>5 min old)
This ensures polecats get triggered even when Deacon is not in an
active patrol cycle. Uses bootstrap mode regex detection which
is acceptable for daemon operations.

Extract closeDescendants() helper that:
- Recursively closes all descendants (not just direct children)
- Logs errors instead of silent failure
- Uses distinct variable names (no shadowing)
- Is reused by both burn and squash
This handles nested molecules from the Christmas Ornament pattern.

Templates now instruct agents to discover steps at runtime via
bd ready / bd show instead of listing steps inline. This prevents
duplication between templates and formula YAML.
When recreating a polecat worktree, the branch deletion might fail
silently, leaving a stale branch with old commits. The worktree would
then be created from this stale branch, missing recent main changes.
Fix:
- Add ResetBranch() method to git package for force-updating branches
- Fetch from origin before recreation to ensure fresh commits
- If branch deletion fails, force-reset the branch to origin/main
- This ensures polecats always start with the latest code
Discovered during gt-8tmz swarm when nux polecat was missing the
internal/formula/ directory that was added after its branch diverged.

The crew add command was not parsing rig/name format (e.g., "beads/emma"),
which caused nested directories like crew/beads/emma to be created instead
of properly routing to the beads rig.
Now `gt crew add beads/emma` from any directory correctly creates the crew
workspace in the beads rig at beads/crew/emma/.

When gt spawns agents (polecats, crew, patrol roles), it now sets the
BD_ACTOR env var so that bd commands (like `bd hook`) know the agent
identity without coupling to gt.
Updated spawn points:
- gt up (mayor, deacon, witness via ensureSession/ensureWitness)
- gt deacon start
- gt witness start
- gt start refinery
- gt mayor start
- Daemon deacon restart
- Daemon lifecycle restart
- Handoff respawn
- Refinery manager start
BD_ACTOR uses slash format (e.g., gastown/witness, gastown/crew/max)
while GT_ROLE may use dash format internally.

Implements auto-triggering of polecats after spawn:
- New pending.go in deacon package tracks pending spawns
- CheckInboxForSpawns reads POLECAT_STARTED messages
- TriggerPendingSpawns polls WaitForClaudeReady and nudges when ready
- PruneStalePending removes spawns older than 5 minutes
The Deacon can now call `gt deacon trigger-pending` during patrol to
automatically send "Begin." to newly spawned polecats once Claude is ready.

Unified the two overlapping role detection structs:
- RoleContext (prime.go) is now a type alias for RoleInfo
- detectRole() now returns RoleInfo directly
- Added WorkDir field to RoleInfo
- GetRoleWithContext now populates WorkDir
This eliminates code duplication between prime.go and role.go while
maintaining backward compatibility through the type alias.
Adds ClearHistory method to tmux package and calls it before
respawn-pane during handoff. This resets copy-mode display
from [0/N] to [0/0] for a clean session start.

When spawning a polecat with --issue, now creates a wisp hook file in the
polecat's .beads/ directory. This allows gt mol status to find the slung
work via the propulsion protocol.
Changes:
- Import wisp package
- Get polecat object after creation to access ClonePath
- Write SlungWork hook file with bead ID, subject, and context
- gt prime: New AUTONOMOUS WORK MODE prompt with clear DO/DON'T instructions
- gt prime: Skip normal startup directive when in autonomous mode
- gt prime: Search multiple beads locations for Mayor's beads
- gt sling: Use GetRole() for role detection instead of cwd
- gt sling: Store hooks in role's home directory, not git root
This ensures hooks work correctly regardless of where commands are run from.
Mayor's hooks always go to ~/gt/.beads/ even when running from a rig dir.
Replace bd mol run call with separate bd commands:
1. bd pour - creates issues from proto template
2. bd update --status=in_progress - claims work
3. bd pin - pins root for session recovery
This moves orchestration logic into gt (where it belongs) and keeps
bd as pure data operations. Coordinated with bd-00u3 which deprecates
bd mol run.

- New gt role subcommands: show, home, detect, list, env
- Role detection now checks GT_ROLE env var first, falls back to cwd
- gt prime shows warning when role/cwd mismatch detected
- gt mol status uses env-aware role detection
- gt handoff injects GT_ROLE and resets to role canonical home
- Fixed witness/refinery home paths (was missing /rig suffix)
This prevents role confusion when agents wander to wrong directories.
After handoff, agents are always restored to their canonical home.
gt wisp command does not exist; bd wisp is the correct command for

Gas Town is a stream engine, not a swarm engine. Polecats can start
and land independently at any time. "Swarm" is used lightly for
batch coordination, but there are no swarm IDs or batch boundaries.
Changes:
- architecture.md: Add stream engine intro paragraph, update
references from "swarming" to "parallel polecats" or "batch"
- prompts.md: Rename SWARM_* messages to BATCH_*, update terminology
- crew.md.tmpl: Replace "swarm" references with "transient worker pool"
and "batch work"
The gt swarm command and internal/swarm/ package remain as-is since
they provide the tooling for batch operations.
