Remove all bd sync references and SQLite-specific code from gastown:

- mol-digest-generate: Remove bd sync from send-digest
- mol-town-shutdown: Replace sync-state step with verify-state
- beads-release: Replace restart-daemons with verify-install (no daemons with Dolt)
**Templates (role priming):**
- mayor.md.tmpl: Update session end checklist to remove bd sync steps
- crew.md.tmpl: Remove bd sync references from workflow and checklist
- polecat.md.tmpl: Update self-cleaning model and session close docs
- spawn.md.tmpl: Remove bd sync from completion steps
- nudge.md.tmpl: Remove bd sync from completion steps

With Dolt backend, beads changes are persisted immediately to the sql-server.
There is no separate sync step needed.

Gas Town uses Dolt exclusively. Remove all bd sync and bd daemon
references from agent priming, templates, formulas, and docs.
With Dolt backend:
- Beads changes are automatically persisted
- No manual sync needed (no bd sync)
- No daemon needed (no bd daemon)
Updated files:
- polecat-CLAUDE.md template
- Role templates (crew, mayor, polecat)
- Message templates (spawn, nudge)
- Formulas (polecat-work, sync-workspace, shutdown, etc.)
- Reference docs

Agents were misfiling beads in HQ when they should go to project-specific
rigs (beads, gastown). The templates explained routing mechanics but not
decision making. Added "Where to File Beads" sections with:
- Routing table based on what code the issue affects
- Simple heuristic: "Which repo would the fix be committed to?"
- Examples for bd CLI → beads, gt CLI → gastown, coordination → HQ
Affects: mayor, deacon, crew, polecat templates.

- Add Coordination section with gt nudge command
- Clarify line 180: routine nudging is Witness job, Mayor can nudge stuck refinery/witness
- Add warning to NEVER use tmux send-keys (drops Enter key)
- Includes liftoff test timestamp in manager.go

- convoy.go: Escape single quotes in SQL to prevent injection
- engineer.go: Add comment clarifying test command trust model
(config.json is trusted infra, not PR-controlled)
- agents.go, prime.go, mayor.md.tmpl: Fix 'gt polecats' -> 'gt polecat list'

Update all documentation to present convoy as the primary unit of work tracking:
- README.md: Show convoy create before sling in Quick Start and Workflows
- reference.md: Reorder to show Convoy Management before Work Assignment
- understanding-gas-town.md: Add convoy to dispatch workflow example
- mayor.md.tmpl: Add convoy commands to Work Management section
- crew.md.tmpl: Include convoy in dispatch workflow table
Convoy is now the standard workflow - all slings should be part of a convoy.

Add "Hookable Mail" section to all role templates explaining how mail beads
can be hooked for ad-hoc instruction handoff. Key documentation points:
- GUPP applies to hooked mail: read and execute instructions
- Two use cases: hook existing mail, create+hook via gt handoff
- Role-specific examples for each agent type
Templates updated:
- boot.md.tmpl
- crew.md.tmpl
- deacon.md.tmpl
- mayor.md.tmpl
- polecat.md.tmpl
- refinery.md.tmpl
- witness.md.tmpl
Also updated prime.go fallback output functions to include hookable mail
reference for when templates fail to render.

- Documentation (propulsion, reference, molecules, wisp architecture)
- Session hints and sling prompts
- Formula template instructions

The hook is the user-facing concept, molecules are implementation details.
Agents should use `gt hook` to check what work is assigned to them.

The Mayor should dispatch work to crew/polecats, not edit code directly.
mayor/rig exists as the source for worktrees, not as a working directory.
Key changes:
- Remove "Edit code here" instruction
- Add warning about staged changes accumulating
- Point to gt worktree for cross-rig work
- Clarify coordinator vs implementer distinction

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

- 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.
