Adds comprehensive design for how wisps squash to digests:
- Cadences: patrol wisps squash per-cycle, work wisps on completion
- Templates: structured formats for patrol and work digests, formula-defined
- Retention: 30d active, 1yr archive, weekly/monthly rollups
- Activity feed integration for observability

Complete unification of work assignment commands:
- Add spawn flags to sling: --naked, --create, --molecule, --force, --account
- SpawnPolecatForSling now accepts SlingSpawnOptions struct
- Deprecate gt spawn with warning pointing to gt sling
- Update no-tmux-mode.md to use sling examples
gt sling now handles:
- Existing agents (mayor, crew, witness, refinery)
- Auto-spawning polecats when target is a rig
- Formula instantiation and wisp creation
- No-tmux mode for manual agent operation

Enable Gas Town to operate without tmux by using beads for args transport:
- Add `attached_args` field to beads AttachmentFields
- gt sling: Store args in bead description, graceful fallback if no tmux
- gt prime: Display attached args prominently on startup
- gt mol status: Include attached_args in status output
- gt spawn --naked: Assign work via mail only, skip tmux session
Agents discover args via gt prime / bd show when starting manually.
Docs added explaining what works vs degraded behavior in no-tmux mode.

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.

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.

Key insight: Rig and Bond operate at different abstraction levels:
- Rig = source-level composition (formula YAML with extends/compose)
- Bond = artifact-level composition (protos, mols, wisps)
This preserves the symmetric bond table while cleanly separating
authoring (rig) from runtime composition (bond).
New docs:
- rig-cook-run.md: Canonical spec for the three phases
Updated docs:
- molecule-algebra.md: Three Phases section, rig/bond distinction
- molecular-chemistry.md: Rig/bond clarification in bond section
- vision.md: Core Innovation 3 now covers Rig/Cook/Run
