The previous implementation used session.Manager which only works for polecats.
Refinery and Witness have their own managers that handle their tmux sessions.
- Use refinery.Manager for refinery auto-start
- Use witness.Manager for witness auto-start
- Check state before starting to avoid duplicate starts

- Add handling for POLECAT_DONE messages in processShutdownRequests()
- Track which polecats have signaled done (using SpawnedIssues with "done:" prefix)
- For LIFECYCLE:shutdown requests, wait for POLECAT_DONE before cleanup
- Add checkPendingCompletions() to nudge polecats with closed issues
- Add 10-minute timeout with force-kill after waiting for POLECAT_DONE
- Protects against losing MR submissions when Witness cleans up too early

Implements redundant systems to ensure infrastructure stays operational:
- gt spawn: Auto-starts refinery and witness if not running
- mol-witness-patrol: Added check-refinery step to verify refinery is alive
This ensures polecats don't wait forever for merges.

Can regenerate missing/invalid state files with --fix

- Stale lifecycle messages in deacon inbox

2. handoff.go: Return exec claude command for respawn-pane instead of

3. handoff.md skill: Work without --cycle and -m flags, send mail separately.

Implements a new command to query what an agent should be working on:
- Finds handoff bead by agent identity
- Parses attached molecule and tracks progress through steps
- Identifies current/next step (in_progress or first ready)
- Reports status: working, naked, complete, or blocked
Usage:
gt molecule current [identity]

Rename outputCrewAttachmentStatus to outputAttachmentStatus and extend

Apply the Universal Gas Town Propulsion Principle to all agent templates:
"If you find something on your hook, YOU RUN IT."
Changes:
- deacon.md.tmpl: Hook-first startup, no decision logic
- polecat.md.tmpl: Simplified propulsion startup, molecule-following
- witness.md.tmpl: Wisp slinging when spawning, propulsion loop
- refinery.md.tmpl: Accept slung branches, hook-based execution
Key principle: Agents don't decide whether to do work. They check their hook
and execute what's there. The hook IS the decision.

Added --exit flag for exit type (COMPLETED, ESCALATED, DEFERRED).
When polecat runs gt done, it now sends mail to Witness with:
- Exit type (COMPLETED, ESCALATED, or DEFERRED)
- Issue ID (if available)
- MR ID (for COMPLETED)
- Branch name
For ESCALATED and DEFERRED, skips MR submission but still notifies
Witness. This enables Witness patrol to see completion in inbox-check
step, verify git state, and close polecat lease.
Paired with spawn notification (gt-r6td) to bracket polecat lifecycle.

When gt spawn creates a polecat, it now sends POLECAT_STARTED notifications
to both Witness and Deacon:
- Witness receives: "POLECAT_STARTED <polecat>" with issue and session info
- Deacon receives: "POLECAT_STARTED <rig>/<polecat>" with issue and session info
This enables:
- Witness to bond a lease to its patrol wisp
- Deacon to verify worker started (redundancy)
- Both to nudge if worker is idle at prompt

- Create internal/claude package with embedded settings templates
- settings-autonomous.json: gt prime && gt mail check --inject (SessionStart)
- settings-interactive.json: gt prime only (SessionStart)
- Update witness.go: EnsureSettings before session, remove broken gt prime injection
- Update refinery/manager.go: EnsureSettings before session, remove broken NudgeSession
- Update session/manager.go: EnsureSettings for polecats, remove broken issue injection
All autonomous roles (polecat, witness, refinery) now get proper SessionStart hooks
automatically when their sessions are created. No more timing-based gt prime injection.
- Remove 3-second sleep and NudgeSession from spawn.go
(Claude takes 10-20s to initialize, message arrived too early)
- Add trigger-pending-spawns step to deacon patrol molecule
(Deacon polls with WaitForClaudeReady, sends trigger when ready)
- SessionStart hook handles gt prime (internal, reliable)
- Deacon sends minimal 'Begin.' trigger to start polecat working
The spawn command now returns immediately after starting the session.
The deacon's patrol cycle will trigger the polecat when it's ready.
Detects when multiple gt-* tmux sessions share the same pane,
which causes messages sent to one session to appear in another.
This catches the bug where gt-deacon and gt-mayor shared a pane,
causing daemon heartbeats to appear as user input in the Mayor.

Updates crew worker startup to detect and auto-continue attached molecules:
- prime.go: Add outputCrewAttachmentStatus() that detects pinned beads
with attached molecules and outputs "AUTO-CONTINUE MODE" directive
- prime.go: Update startup directive to explain the auto-continue pattern
- crew.md: Add "Session Wisp Model" section documenting autonomous work

Key insight: if attached mol exists, continue without awaiting input
- mol-polecat-session: One-shot wisp wrapping polecat work assignments
Handles onboard → execute → cleanup lifecycle
This separates "how to work" (proto) from "what to work on" (mol),
enabling session continuity and autonomous long-mol processing.

When 'gt X attach' is run from inside a tmux session, link the target
session's window as a new tab instead of switching sessions entirely.
Use C-b n/p to navigate between tabs.
Outside tmux: unchanged behavior (full attach)
Inside tmux: links window as tab for convenient multi-session viewing

- Update attachToTmuxSession() with smart detection
- Update mayor, deacon, crew, refinery attach commands
Updates mol-polecat-work and polecat.md with comprehensive molecule protocol:
Molecule changes:

- Four exit types: COMPLETED, BLOCKED, REFACTOR, ESCALATE
- Non-linear jumps allowed from any step to exit-decision
- Dynamic modifications allowed (add steps, file work, refresh)
Polecat role documentation:
- Full molecule protocol section explaining the contract
- Exit strategies with concrete commands
- Wisps vs Molecules comparison for context
- Session continuity for multi-session work

The Refinery now has a formal patrol molecule with structural enforcement
of the Beads Promise via the handle-failures verification gate.
Changes:
- Add RefineryPatrolMolecule() to builtin_molecules.go with 10 steps
- Add prompts/roles/refinery.md template following deacon/witness pattern
- Update test to expect 9 built-in molecules
Key insight: The handle-failures step is a GATE - you cannot proceed to
merge-push without either fixing the issue or filing a bead. This makes
disavowal structurally impossible, not just philosophically discouraged.
