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.

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.
The Scotty Test: "Would Scotty walk past a warp core leak because it
existed before his shift?"

Define the Deacon patrol molecule in builtin_molecules.go with 7 steps:
1. inbox-check - Handle callbacks from agents
2. health-scan - Ping Witnesses and Refineries
3. plugin-run - Execute registered plugins
4. orphan-check - Find abandoned work (uses wisp terminology)
5. session-gc - Clean dead sessions and wisp artifacts
6. context-check - Check own context limit
7. loop-or-exit - Burn and let daemon respawn, or exit if context high
Added DeaconPatrolMolecule() to BuiltinMolecules() list and added
corresponding test in builtin_molecules_test.go.

Defines the standard polecat work lifecycle molecule with 8 steps:
- load-context: Load context and verify assignment
- implement: Do the work, file discovered issues
- self-review: Review changes for bugs and issues
- verify-tests: Run tests, add new ones as needed
- rebase-main: Rebase against main
- submit-merge: Submit to merge queue
- update-handoff: Update handoff state
- request-shutdown: Request witness termination
This molecule enables nondeterministic idempotence for polecat work.
Crash recovery is automatic - restart reads molecule state and continues
from the last completed step.

Add a single-step molecule for building and installing the gt binary.
The molecule contains one step:
- install: Build with `go build -o gt ./cmd/gt` and install with
`go install ./cmd/gt`
Added InstallGoBinaryMolecule() function and test.

Add three built-in molecule definitions that are automatically seeded
during `gt install`:
- engineer-in-box: Full workflow from design to merge (5 steps)
- quick-fix: Fast path for small changes (3 steps)
- research: Investigation workflow (2 steps)
These molecules provide reusable workflow templates that polecats can
instantiate to execute multi-step procedures with proper dependency
tracking between steps.
Closes gt-4nn.4
