- Add DefaultBranch field to RoleData struct
- Update refinery.md.tmpl to use {{ .DefaultBranch }} template variable
- Populate DefaultBranch from rig config in prime.go and rig/manager.go
- Default to 'main' if not configured
- Add test verifying DefaultBranch rendering in refinery template
Fixes issue where refinery agents merged to master instead of the
configured default branch (e.g., 'develop' or 'develop-cstar').
When patrol agents (witness, refinery, deacon) complete their patrol wisp,
they were left idle because the instructions only said "loop back" without
specifying the command to create a new wisp.
Updated:
- Work loop instructions in prime.go now explicitly tell agents:
* If context LOW: run `bd mol wisp mol-<role>-patrol` to create new wisp
* If context HIGH: use `gt handoff` and exit for daemon respawn
- mol-witness-patrol.formula.toml loop-or-exit step now has clear commands
This ensures patrol agents always either create a new wisp or exit cleanly,
preventing the "session alive but idle" state that caused mail to pile up.

The hook query now falls back to checking in_progress beads assigned to the
agent when no hooked beads are found. This ensures work is not lost when
a session is interrupted after claiming work.
Previously, gt hook only looked for status=hooked beads, so work that had
been claimed but not completed appeared lost. The fix extends the query to
also include in_progress beads assigned to the agent.

Migrate all role bead references from gt-*-role to hq-*-role using
beads.RoleBeadIDTown() function. Role beads are stored in town beads
(~/gt/.beads/) with the hq- prefix.
Changes:
- internal/cmd/prime.go: Use RoleBeadIDTown() for all roles
- internal/doctor/agent_beads_check.go: Use RoleBeadIDTown() for rig agents
- internal/polecat/manager.go: Use RoleBeadIDTown("polecat")
- internal/cmd/crew_add.go: Use RoleBeadIDTown("crew")
- internal/beads/beads.go: Update comments to document hq- convention
- Templates: Update bd show gt-deacon to bd show hq-deacon
Note: Tmux session names remain as gt-* (runtime identifiers).
Bead IDs use hq-* for town-level agents (persistent storage).

isolation, and true isolation should use containers/VMs.

Session names `gt-mayor` and `gt-deacon` were hardcoded, causing tmux
session name collisions when running multiple towns simultaneously.
Changed to `gt-{town}-mayor` and `gt-{town}-deacon` format (e.g.,
`gt-ai-mayor`) to allow concurrent multi-town operation.
Key changes:
- session.MayorSessionName() and DeaconSessionName() now take townName param
- Added workspace.GetTownName() helper to load town name from config
- Updated all callers in cmd/, daemon/, doctor/, mail/, rig/, templates/
- Updated tests with new session name format

Major redesign based on design review:
1. REMOVED: Claude Code internal parsing (ZFC violation)
- Deleted internal/claude/sessions.go (parsed ~/.claude/projects/)
- This coupled us to Claude Code's undocumented internal format
2. ADDED: Event-based session discovery
- gt prime now emits session_start events to ~/gt/.events.jsonl
- Events include role, session_id, topic, cwd
- Discovery reads our own event stream (ZFC-compliant)
3. ADDED: --talk flag for actual seances
- gt seance --talk <session-id> spawns: claude --fork-session --resume <id>
- --fork-session creates a new session (read-only, no grave disturbance)
- You literally talk to your predecessor: "Where did you put X?"
4. ADDED: One-shot prompt mode
- gt seance --talk <id> -p "Where is the config?"
- Uses claude --print for quick questions
The name "seance" is now literal - you commune with the dead (past sessions).

Fixed in:
- crew_add.go: Use CrewBeadID() not CrewBeadIDWithPrefix()
- prime.go: Use non-prefix variants for all agent types
- sling.go: Use non-prefix variants for all agent types

When spawning polecats in rigs with custom prefixes (e.g., beads uses bd-

Changes:

The `bd wisp` command doesn't support `--assignee` flag. The patrol
creation for Deacon, Witness, and Refinery was silently failing because
of this invalid flag.

bd wisp create <proto-id> # Step 1: create
bd update <wisp-id> --status=pinned --assignee=<agent> # Step 2: pin
Also fixed wisp ID extraction to look for "wisp-" prefix in addition

Unified the two overlapping role detection structs:
- RoleContext (prime.go) is now a type alias for RoleInfo
- detectRole() now returns RoleInfo directly
- Added WorkDir field to RoleInfo
- GetRoleWithContext now populates WorkDir
This eliminates code duplication between prime.go and role.go while
maintaining backward compatibility through the type alias.
- gt prime: New AUTONOMOUS WORK MODE prompt with clear DO/DON'T instructions
- gt prime: Skip normal startup directive when in autonomous mode
- gt prime: Search multiple beads locations for Mayor's beads
- gt sling: Use GetRole() for role detection instead of cwd
- gt sling: Store hooks in role's home directory, not git root
This ensures hooks work correctly regardless of where commands are run from.
Mayor's hooks always go to ~/gt/.beads/ even when running from a rig dir.
- New gt role subcommands: show, home, detect, list, env
- Role detection now checks GT_ROLE env var first, falls back to cwd
- gt prime shows warning when role/cwd mismatch detected
- gt mol status uses env-aware role detection
- gt handoff injects GT_ROLE and resets to role canonical home
- Fixed witness/refinery home paths (was missing /rig suffix)
This prevents role confusion when agents wander to wrong directories.
After handoff, agents are always restored to their canonical home.
Phase 2 Hook Execution Protocol: When agent has attached molecule work,
gt prime now calls bd mol current to show:
- Molecule progress (completed/total steps)
- Current step ID and title
- Step description/instructions
- Propulsion directive ("EXECUTE THIS STEP NOW")
- Close/ready instructions for workflow advancement
Key insight from bd-hulf/bd-3zm7 rejection: Molecule state is derived
from child beads being open/closed - no separate state files needed.
"Advancing" = closing the current step bead.
