resolveRoleToSession now accepts paths like <rig>/crew/<name>,
<rig>/witness, and <rig>/refinery in addition to role shortcuts.
For example: 'gt handoff gastown/crew/max' now works.

- Update gt handoff to detect polecats (via GT_POLECAT env var) and
call gt done instead of respawning - polecats have Witness-managed lifecycle
- Update CLAUDE.md Session End Checklist to use gt handoff
- This is the canonical way to end any agent session - it handles mail,
respawn, and context restoration via SessionStart hook

buildRestartCommand now detects the town root and includes a cd to the
appropriate directory before launching claude. This ensures each role
starts in its correct working directory:
- gt-mayor → town root (~/gt)
- gt-deacon → ~/gt/deacon
- crew sessions → ~/gt/<rig>/crew/<name>
- witness sessions → ~/gt/<rig>/witness
- refinery sessions → ~/gt/<rig>/refinery

Agents naturally expect `gt handoff -s "Subject" -m "Message"` to work
like `gt mail send`. Now it does:
- Added --subject/-s and --message/-m flags to gt handoff
- Added --self flag to gt mail send for sending to self
- Handoff auto-sends mail to self before respawning pane
This makes agent-initiated handoff more ergonomic - they can include
context in a single command instead of two separate steps.

Three related fixes:
1. lifecycle.go: Use gt mail delete instead of gt mail read to prevent
lifecycle requests from accumulating.
2. handoff.go: Return exec claude command for respawn-pane instead of
gt crew at which tries to attach to existing session.
3. handoff.md skill: Work without --cycle and -m flags, send mail separately.

When `gt mq submit` is run from a polecat work branch (polecat/<worker>/<issue>),
it now automatically triggers polecat shutdown after submitting the MR. The
polecat sends a lifecycle request to its Witness and waits for termination.
This eliminates the need for polecats to manually run `gt handoff --shutdown`
after completing work - they can just run `gt mq submit` and the cleanup
happens automatically.
Added `--no-cleanup` flag to disable auto-cleanup when needed (e.g., for
submitting multiple MRs or continuing work).
Closes gt-tca

The daemon verifies requesting_cycle=true in state.json before
executing lifecycle actions. For crew workers, the state file
must be at <townRoot>/<rig>/crew/<name>/state.json.

Crew workers now use deacon for lifecycle management instead of
requiring manual session termination. When a crew worker runs
'gt handoff', it sends a lifecycle request to the deacon which
handles session kill/restart like it does for Mayor and Witness.
Changes:
- Route crew manager to deacon/ instead of "human"
- Add getCrewIdentity() to extract <rig>-crew-<name> from session
- Include full crew identity in LIFECYCLE subject for daemon parsing
- Remove special case that skipped lifecycle flow for crew
Also fixes pre-existing test failures in daemon/lifecycle_test.go
where BeadsMessage field names were out of sync with the struct.

- daemon.go: Add SIGUSR1 handler to process lifecycle requests immediately
- handoff.go: Signal daemon after sending lifecycle mail to deacon/
- mail.go: Show message IDs in hook output for direct reading
Previously, gt handoff would wait up to 5 min for daemon heartbeat poll.
Now lifecycle requests are processed within milliseconds.

Implements the core Witness functionality:
- gt witness start: Creates tmux session with Claude, theming, auto-priming
- gt witness stop: Kills tmux session and updates state
- gt witness status: Shows session state reconciled with tmux
- Shutdown handler: Verifies git clean state before cleanup, sends nudges
- Auto-spawn: Spawns polecats for ready work up to configurable capacity
- Health checks: Monitors polecat activity, nudges stuck workers, escalates
Also updates handoff to include polecat name in lifecycle requests.

When a polecat runs `gt handoff` (default: shutdown action), the current
branch is now automatically submitted to the merge queue if it follows
the polecat/<name>/<issue> naming convention.
This streamlines the polecat workflow:
- Work on assigned issue
- Commit changes
- Run `gt handoff` (automatically submits MR + retires)
The Refinery will process the merge request. If MR submission fails,
a warning is printed but handoff continues.

- gt-dsfi: Add periodic warning messages to handoff wait instead of
blocking forever with select{}. After 2 minutes, shows hints about
checking daemon/witness status and how to abort.
- gt-n7z7: Skip tmux session existence check when in foreground mode.
When background mode spawns foreground mode inside a tmux session,
the foreground check would find its own session and return "already
running". Now only checks PID when in foreground mode.

The getManager() function was returning a literal "<rig>/witness" string
for polecats and refineries instead of substituting the actual rig name.
This caused LIFECYCLE messages to be sent to "@<rig>/witness" instead of
proper addresses like "@gastown/witness".
Fix:
- Add detectRigFromContext() to extract rig from current directory
- Update getManager() to use detected rig name
- Fallback to deacon/ if rig detection fails (safety)

Replace mail-based handoff system with pinned beads that persist
across sessions. This fixes the issue where handoff messages get
closed before successors can read them.
Changes:
- beads: Add StatusPinned constant and handoff functions:
- HandoffBeadTitle() for well-known naming
- FindHandoffBead() to locate role handoff bead
- GetOrCreateHandoffBead() to ensure bead exists
- UpdateHandoffContent() to set handoff message
- ClearHandoffContent() to reset after reading
- cmd/handoff: Update to use pinned beads instead of mail
- sendHandoffMail() now updates pinned bead content
- cmd/prime: Display handoff content on startup
- outputHandoffContent() reads and shows handoff bead
- cmd/rig: Add reset command with --handoff flag
- gt rig reset --handoff clears handoff content

Implements the agent-side lifecycle request command (gt-gby):
- Detects agent role via GT_ROLE env, tmux session, or directory
- Pre-flight checks (git clean) before retirement
- Sends handoff mail to self for context preservation
- Sends lifecycle request to manager (daemon/ for Mayor/Witness)
- Sets requesting_cycle state and waits for retirement
Usage:
gt handoff # Role-appropriate default
gt handoff --cycle # Restart with handoff mail
gt handoff --restart # Fresh restart
gt handoff --shutdown # Terminate without restart
