- Add --purge flag to gt crew remove that:
- Deletes the agent bead (not just closes it)
- Unassigns any beads assigned to the crew member
- Properly handles git worktrees (not just regular clones)
- Add gt doctor crew-worktrees check to detect stale cross-rig worktrees
- Worktrees in crew/ with hyphenated names are now properly cleaned up
using git worktree remove instead of rm -rf
The --purge flag is for accidental/test crew that should leave no trace
in the capability ledger. Normal crew removal closes the agent bead to
preserve CV history per HOP architecture.

Agent directories (witness/, refinery/, mayor/) contained state.json files
with last_active timestamps that were never updated, making them stale and
misleading. This change removes:
- initAgentStates function that created vestigial state.json files
- AgentState type and related Load/Save functions from config package
- MayorStateValidCheck from doctor checks
- requesting_* lifecycle verification (dead code - flags were never set)
- FileStateJSON constant and MayorStatePath function
Kept intact:
- daemon/state.json (actively used for daemon runtime state)
- crew/<name>/state.json (operational CrewWorker metadata)
- Agent state tracking via beads (the ZFC-compliant approach)

When adding a crew member with 'gt crew add' or spawning a polecat,
provision the .claude/commands/ directory with standard slash commands
like /handoff. This ensures all agents have Gas Town utilities even if
the source repo does not have them tracked.
Changes:
- Add embedded commands templates (internal/templates/commands/)
- Add ProvisionCommands() to templates package
- Call ProvisionCommands from crew and polecat managers
- Add gt doctor commands-provisioned check with --fix support
Adds a new doctor check that verifies all settings.json files in the
town use session-start.sh wrapper for SessionStart and PreCompact hooks.
Without this wrapper, session_id passthrough fails, which breaks
gt seance discovery of sessions.
The check:
- Scans all settings.json files across town, rigs, crew, and polecats
- Warns if any file uses bare 'gt prime' without session-start.sh
- Provides fix hint pointing to the correct wrapper configuration

Add repo-fingerprint check to gt doctor that verifies beads databases have
valid repository fingerprints. Missing or empty fingerprints can cause daemon
startup failures and sync issues.
The check:
- Uses bd doctor --json to check fingerprint status
- Runs on town-level and rig-level beads directories
- Can fix by running bd migrate --update-repo-id
- Restarts daemon after migration if it was running

Add a new doctor check that verifies the bd (beads) daemon is running
and healthy. When the daemon fails to start, the check:
- Surfaces specific error messages (legacy database, repo mismatch)
- Provides one-liner fix commands
- Auto-fixes by running bd migrate --update-repo-id when appropriate
This addresses GH #25: gt status slow when bd daemon not running.

Adds a new fixable doctor check that verifies beads routing configuration:
- Checks if routes.jsonl exists
- Verifies all rigs have routing entries (by path, not just prefix)
- Validates that routes point to valid locations with .beads directories
- Can auto-fix by adding missing routes with --fix
The check is smart about prefix mismatches: if a rig already has a route
by path (e.g., gastown/mayor/rig), it won't report it as missing even if
the prefix in rigs.json differs from what's in routes.jsonl.

Adds CloneDivergenceCheck that detects when git clones have drifted
significantly behind origin/main:
- >10 commits behind: WARNING
- >50 commits behind: ERROR (EMERGENCY)
Only checks clones on main branch, since off-main clones are already
caught by BranchCheck. This distinguishes from beads-sync divergence
which is expected behavior.

Remove Go code that makes workflow decisions. All health checking,
staleness detection, nudging, and escalation belongs in the Deacon
molecule where Claude executes it.
Removed:
- internal/daemon/backoff.go (190 lines) - exponential backoff decisions
- internal/doctor/stale_check.go (284 lines) - staleness detection
- IsFresh/IsStale/IsVeryStale from keepalive.go
- pokeMayor, pokeWitnesses, pokeWitness from daemon.go
- Heartbeat staleness classification from pokeDeacon
Changed:
- Lifecycle parsing now uses structured body (JSON or simple text)
instead of keyword matching on subject line
- Daemon now only ensures Deacon is running and sends simple heartbeats
- No backoff, no staleness classification, no decision-making
Total: ~800 lines removed from Go code
The Deacon molecule will handle all health checking, nudging, and
escalation. Go is now just a message router.
