When slinging work to patrol agents (witness, refinery, deacon), queue via
mail instead of replacing the hook. This preserves patrol continuity.
New behavior:
- Default: Check if patrol is running, start default patrol if not, send
work via mail. Patrol processes queued work during its cycle.
- --urgent: Marks mail as urgent (🚨 URGENT prefix)
- --replace: Legacy behavior, explicitly terminates patrol (break-glass)
New helper functions:
- isPatrolRole(kind): Returns true for witness/refinery/deacon
- getDefaultPatrolMolecule(role): Returns patrol template name
- resolvePatrolMoleculeID(path, title): Looks up beads issue ID by title
- isPatrolRunning(path, addr): Checks if patrol molecule is attached
Note: Patrol spawning currently uses main DB (not wisp storage) because
templates must be looked up from the main database. Wisp support for
patrol instances is a future enhancement.

When slinging with --force to an agent with occupied hook, the displaced
molecule is now returned to the ready pool rather than silently orphaned.
Changes:
- Modified checkHookCollision to take force param and return displaced ID
- Added releaseDisplacedWork helper to unpin and release displaced molecules
- Updated all 5 sling handlers (polecat, crew, witness, refinery, mayor)
Behavior:
- Without --force: still errors "hook already occupied by X"
- With --force: prints warning, releases old work, proceeds with new sling

The witness session was starting in the rig root (e.g., /gt/gastown)
instead of the witness directory (e.g., /gt/gastown/witness/rig).
This caused gt prime to detect the Mayor role instead of Witness role.
Now ensureWitnessSession uses the same pattern as ensureRefinerySession:
1. Try <rig>/witness/rig/ first (for rigs with worktree setup)
2. Fall back to <rig>/witness/ (for simpler setups)
3. Last resort: use rig root (shouldn't happen normally)

Allows agents to self-pin work from mail messages. The command:
1. Reads a mail message by ID
2. Extracts molecule ID from the body (attached_molecule:, molecule_id:, etc.)
3. Attaches the molecule to the agent's pinned bead (hook)
4. Marks the mail as read
Includes unit tests for the molecule ID extraction logic.

Adds Pin() and Unpin() methods to the beads wrapper that call bd pin/unpin.
Updates pinToHook() to call b.Pin() after AttachMolecule() to set the
pinned boolean field and assignee on the work issue. This should enable
bd hook to show pinned work.
NOTE: There's a known issue where bd pin via subprocess doesn't actually
set the pinned field even though it reports success. The handoff bead
attachment remains the primary mechanism until this is resolved.

Shell loops bypassed the proper lifecycle architecture. Now:
- Witness: Launches Claude directly, daemon/deacon health-scan handles restart
- Deacon: Launches Claude directly, daemon detects exit and restarts
- Daemon: ensureDeaconRunning() now checks if Claude is running (pane cmd)
and restarts it if session exists but Claude has exited
- gt deacon restart: Now does stop+start instead of Ctrl-C
This enforces proper lifecycle flow through LIFECYCLE mail and daemon
heartbeat rather than bypassing it with shell loops.

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.
