Add "The Capability Ledger" section to all 6 role templates explaining:
- Work visibility and reputation
- Redemption through consistent quality
- Every completion as evidence of autonomous execution at scale
- Work history as growing portfolio/CV
Also fix hooked vs pinned terminology confusion:
- "Hooked" = work assigned to you (triggers autonomous mode)
- "Pinned" = permanent reference beads
- Add clarifying note to all startup behavior sections
- Update code examples to use --status=hooked
Update prime.go AUTONOMOUS MODE output with ledger framing.

Adds comprehensive "Theory of Operation" section explaining WHY agents
must execute work immediately when found on their hook. Uses steam engine
metaphor to convey that this is physics, not politeness.
Each role gets a tailored metaphor:
- Mayor: main drive shaft
- Crew/Polecat: piston
- Deacon: flywheel
- Witness: pressure gauge
- Refinery: exhaust valve
The section explains the failure mode (agent waits, human is AFK,
Gas Town stops) and reinforces the propulsion principle.

Temporal language like "Phase 1 blocks Phase 2" triggers incorrect
dependency direction. Added a concise warning to all 6 role templates
(crew, polecat, mayor, witness, refinery, deacon) reminding agents:
- Think "X needs Y", not "X comes before Y"
- Verify with `bd blocked`

Updated all role prompt templates to document the startup hook protocol:
- polecat.md.tmpl: Added gt mol status check, self-pin from mail protocol
- witness.md.tmpl: Added gt mol status check, self-pin from mail protocol
- refinery.md.tmpl: Added gt mol status check, self-pin from mail protocol
- crew.md.tmpl: Added new Startup Protocol section with hook-first flow
- deacon.md.tmpl: Added gt mol status check, self-pin from mail protocol
- mayor.md.tmpl: Expanded startup protocol with hook-first flow
Each template now includes:
1. Check hook first (gt mol status)
2. If empty, check mail for attached work
3. Self-pin protocol (gt mol attach-from-mail) if needed
4. Role-specific fallback behavior

Add clear explanations of the town-level vs rig-level beads architecture:
- Town beads (~/gt/.beads): HQ coordination, no sync-branch
- Rig beads (in git clones): project work, uses beads-sync branch
- Clarify that rig-level .beads at container is gitignored
Updated:
- docs/architecture.md: New 'Two-Level Beads Architecture' section
- CLAUDE.md: Enhanced existing section with table and sync-branch info
- templates/roles/*.tmpl: Added beads architecture to crew, polecat, mayor

- Add molecule-first paradigm note at top of architecture.md
- Update all spawn examples to include --molecule flag
- Add "Config vs Molecule" section with cognition principle
- Add policy-to-molecule escalation note in federation-design.md
- Update role templates (mayor, witness) with molecule usage
Key message: Gas Town spawns workers on molecules, not just issues.
The issue is seed data; the molecule defines the workflow.
