Crew workers now use deacon for lifecycle management instead of
requiring manual session termination. When a crew worker runs
'gt handoff', it sends a lifecycle request to the deacon which
handles session kill/restart like it does for Mayor and Witness.
Changes:
- Route crew manager to deacon/ instead of "human"
- Add getCrewIdentity() to extract <rig>-crew-<name> from session
- Include full crew identity in LIFECYCLE subject for daemon parsing
- Remove special case that skipped lifecycle flow for crew
Also fixes pre-existing test failures in daemon/lifecycle_test.go
where BeadsMessage field names were out of sync with the struct.

Bug: When daemon cycled a session, it verified requesting_cycle=true
but never cleared the flag after restart. This caused infinite
cycle loops on each heartbeat.
Also removed redundant SendKeysDelayed("gt prime") that injected
rogue text into terminal (SessionStart hook already handles priming).

The handoff command sends lifecycle requests via 'gt mail send' to
town-level beads, but the daemon was reading with 'bd mail inbox'
which reads from the local beads database. This fixes the mismatch.

Extend the startup protocol to have all roles announce themselves:
- Mayor: "Mayor, checking in." (already present)
- Witness: "Witness, checking in."
- Polecat: "Polecat <name>, checking in."
- Refinery: "Refinery, checking in."
- Crew: "Crew <name>, checking in." (new case added)
This provides consistent startup behavior across all Gas Town agents.

The mail router was incorrectly routing rig-level addresses
(e.g., gastown/crew/max) to {rig}/.beads instead of town beads.
This caused mail to be invisible when agents checked their inbox.
Two-level beads architecture:
- ALL mail uses town beads ({townRoot}/.beads)
- Rig-level beads are for project issues only

Add two new doctor checks:
1. persistent-role-branches: Detects crew/*, witness/rig, refinery/rig
directories not on main branch. Persistent roles should work directly
on main to avoid orphaned work.
2. beads-sync-orphans: Detects code changes on beads-sync branch that
weren't merged to main, catching cases where merges lose code changes.
Also adds ensureMainBranch() to crew attach to auto-switch persistent

All clones (crew, refinery) now use redirect files pointing to the
canonical beads database at mayor/rig/.beads instead of maintaining
their own copies.
Benefits:
- Single source of truth for all rig issues
- No git sync needed between clones
- Instant visibility of changes across all agents
- Eliminates JSONL merge conflicts
Structure:
clone/.beads/redirect -> ../../mayor/rig/.beads

Add documentation for two key features:
1. Mail Routing (internal/mail/router.go):
- Routes messages to correct beads database by recipient
- Town-level (mayor/, deacon/) -> ~/gt/.beads
- Rig-level (rig/polecat) -> ~/gt/rig/.beads
- Uses BEADS_DIR env var for all bd commands
2. Shared Beads for Polecats:
- Polecats use redirect files instead of own beads DBs
- .beads/redirect contains relative path to shared beads
- Eliminates git sync overhead between polecat worktrees
- setupSharedBeads() creates redirect on polecat spawn

When creating a polecat worktree, create a .beads/redirect file pointing
to the rig-level shared beads database. This eliminates git sync overhead
between polecats - they all connect to the same daemon and database.
Architecture:
gastown/
.beads/ <- Shared database (created if missing)
polecats/
nux/
.beads/
redirect <- Contains "../../.beads"

Crew workers are trusted maintainers who push directly to main:
- Own their clones (no isolation needed)
- Fast work cycles (10-15 min) make branch overhead wasteful
- Branches go stale with context cycling
- Polecats use branches/MRs; crew does not need review
Also updated two-level beads docs (removed stale rig-level references).

- mail.go: Fix findBeadsWorkDir to prefer rig-level beads, fix crew address format
Messages are now stored as beads issues with type=message. Metadata (sender,

Add comprehensive uncommitted work checks before any polecat cleanup:
- Check for uncommitted changes (modified/untracked files)
- Check for stashes

- gt rig shutdown: checks all polecats before shutdown
- Witness cleanup: refuses to clean polecats with uncommitted work
- gt spawn: warns if spawning to polecat with uncommitted work
Safety model:
- --force: bypasses uncommitted changes check only
- --nuclear: bypasses ALL safety checks (will lose work)

- UnpushedCommits(): count commits not pushed to upstream

When a polecat runs `gt handoff` (default: shutdown action), the current
branch is now automatically submitted to the merge queue if it follows
the polecat/<name>/<issue> naming convention.
This streamlines the polecat workflow:
- Work on assigned issue
- Commit changes
- Run `gt handoff` (automatically submits MR + retires)
The Refinery will process the merge request. If MR submission fails,
a warning is printed but handoff continues.

Implement MoleculeCatalog for loading molecules from multiple sources:
1. Built-in molecules (shipped with the gt binary)
2. Town-level: <town>/.beads/molecules.jsonl
3. Rig-level: <rig>/.beads/molecules.jsonl
4. Project-level: .beads/molecules.jsonl
Changes:
- Add internal/beads/catalog.go with MoleculeCatalog type
- Update gt molecule list to show source (builtin, town, rig, project, database)
- Update gt molecule show to check catalog first, then database
- Update gt molecule instantiate to check catalog first
- Add gt molecule export command to export built-in molecules to JSONL
- Add --catalog and --db flags to gt molecule list
The catalog enables organizations to share molecule templates
independently of work item tracking, and allows customization
at different levels of the workspace hierarchy.
Closes gt-0ei3.
