Key Decision #11 renamed from "Beads as Swarm State" to "Work is a Stream
(No Swarm IDs)". Work flows through the system as a continuous stream:
- The epic IS the grouping (no separate swarm ID)
- The merge queue IS the coordination (no batch boundaries)
- Workers process issues independently (add/remove anytime)
- Dependencies provide sequencing (multi-wave emerges naturally)
Updated sections:
- Introduction: Added key insight about stream model
- Work Dispatch: Renamed from "Swarm Dispatch", updated diagram
- Multi-Wave Work Processing: Renamed from "Multi-Wave Swarms"
- Key Decision #11: Full rewrite explaining stream model
- Various terminology updates throughout
This aligns with the vision that Gas Town manages work as a stream,
not as discrete batches requiring explicit start/end boundaries.

Crew workspaces are the overseer's (human's personal workspaces within
a rig. Unlike polecats which are witness-managed and ephemeral, crew
workers are:
- Persistent (not auto-garbage-collected)
- User-managed (overseer controls lifecycle)
- Long-lived identities (dave, emma, fred)
- Gas Town integrated (mail, handoff mechanics)
- Tmux optional
See gt-cik for implementation epic.

Key Design Decisions added:
- #11: Beads as Swarm State (No Separate Database)
- #12: Agent Session Lifecycle (Daemon Protection)
- #13: Resource-Constrained Worker Pool
New section: Multi-Wave Swarms
- Wave orchestration via dependency graph
- Witness multi-wave loop pseudocode
- Long-running autonomy through daemon persistence
This eliminates the need for SQLite/manifest storage for swarms.
Beads epics and dependencies encode all swarm state.

Plugins are just more agents in the wasteland - with identities,
mailboxes, and beads access. No special framework, just directory
conventions and mail-based invocation.
Added beads:
- gt-axz: Plugin architecture epic
- gt-8dv: CLI plugin commands
- gt-pio: merge-oracle plugin (merge queue analysis)
- gt-35x: plan-oracle plugin (work decomposition)

Major architecture decision: rigs are now pure container directories,
not git clones. This prevents agent confusion by ensuring each agent
has exactly one place to work (their own /rig/ clone).
Key changes:
- Rig root is NOT a git repo - just a container
- Rig-level .beads/ holds issues for all agents in that rig
- Agents use BEADS_DIR env var to point to rig's beads
- Refinery's clone is the authoritative "main branch" view
- Added design decisions #6 (rig as container) and #7 (BEADS_DIR)
See also: beads issue bd-411u for BEADS_DIR documentation.
