- Remove TouchTownActivity() calls from root.go PersistentPreRun hook
- Remove ReadTownActivity() and activity-based backoff from daemon.go
- Delete TouchTownActivity/ReadTownActivity functions from keepalive.go
- Replace dynamic backoff with fixed 10-min recovery heartbeat
Normal wake is now handled by feed subscription (bd activity --follow).
The daemon is a safety net for dead sessions, GUPP violations, and orphaned work.

Enhanced the package-level documentation to explain why all write
operations in the keepalive package silently ignore errors.

- Fix crew next/prev: Pass session name via key binding to avoid run-shell context issue
- Add TouchTownActivity() for town-level activity signaling
- Implement daemon exponential backoff based on activity.json:
- 0-5 min idle → 5 min heartbeat
- 5-15 min idle → 10 min heartbeat
- 15-45 min idle → 30 min heartbeat
- 45+ min idle → 60 min heartbeat (max)

All 156 instances of _ = error suppression in non-test code now have
explanatory comments documenting why the error is intentionally ignored.
Categories of intentional suppressions:
- non-fatal: session works without these - tmux environment setup
- non-fatal: theming failure does not affect operation - visual styling
- best-effort cleanup - defer cleanup on failure paths
- best-effort notification - mail/notifications that should not block
- best-effort interrupt - graceful shutdown attempts
- crypto/rand.Read only fails on broken system - random ID generation
- output errors non-actionable - fmt.Fprint to io.Writer
This addresses the silent failure and debugging concerns raised in the
issue by making the intentionality explicit in the code.

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.
See gt-gaxo epic for full rationale.

Every gt command now touches .gastown/keepalive.json with the last
command and timestamp. This enables smarter daemon backoff:
- Fresh (< 2 min): agent is working, skip heartbeat
- Stale (2-5 min): might be thinking, gentle poke
- Very stale (> 5 min): likely idle, safe to interrupt
Uses PersistentPreRun hook to capture all commands including subcommands.
Closes gt-bfd
