Replace ProcessExists() checks in witness and refinery managers with
tmux session detection. Agent liveness should be derived from tmux
session state, not PID probing (per ZFC tracking principles).
- Remove util.ProcessExists() from witness/manager.go and refinery/manager.go
- Delete internal/util/process.go and process_test.go (now unused)
- Foreground mode and Stop() now rely solely on tmux HasSession/KillSession

Extends the --agent flag with a more general --env flag that allows
setting arbitrary environment variables when starting a witness.
Precedence (highest to lowest):
1. CLI --env overrides
2. Role bead env_vars
3. config.AgentEnv() defaults
Examples:
gt witness start greenplace --env ANTHROPIC_MODEL=claude-3-haiku
gt witness restart greenplace --env DEBUG=1 --env VERBOSE=true

Introduces config.AgentEnv() as the single source of truth for all agent
environment variables. Previously, different roles received different subsets
of variables depending on their startup path.
Changes:
- All agents now receive GT_ROOT and BEADS_DIR (previously only polecat/refinery)
- Add gt doctor env-vars check to validate tmux session variables
- Fix gt role home witness returning incorrect path
- Fix BEADS_DIR not following redirects for repos with tracked beads

Update docs to reflect the centralized config.AgentEnv() function and
complete environment variable coverage:
reference.md:
- Restructured env vars section with tables by category
- Added GT_ROOT, GT_CREW, BEADS_AGENT_NAME documentation
- Added "Environment by Role" quick reference table
- Added doctor check documentation for env-vars validation
identity.md:
- Updated Environment Setup section with complete examples
- Added crew environment example showing BEADS_NO_DAEMON
- Mentioned centralized config.AgentEnv() function
- Cross-referenced to reference.md for full details

The env-vars check was using AgentEnvSimple which doesn't know the
actual TownRoot and BeadsDir paths. This could cause false positive
mismatches when comparing expected (empty paths) vs actual (real paths).
- Use config.AgentEnv with proper TownRoot and BeadsDir from CheckContext
- Rig-level roles resolve beads dir from rig path
- Update tests to use expectedEnv helper that generates full env vars

Complete test coverage for all roles in the centralized AgentEnv
function:
- TestAgentEnv_Deacon: verifies deacon env vars (GT_ROLE, BD_ACTOR,
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME)
- TestAgentEnv_Boot: verifies boot env vars including BD_ACTOR=deacon-boot

spawnDegraded was manually constructing env vars, missing GT_ROOT,
BEADS_DIR, and GIT_AUTHOR_NAME that spawnTmux sets via config.AgentEnv().
Now both paths use the same centralized env var generation for
consistency.

The env-vars doctor check was skipping deacon with a stale comment
"it doesn't use standard env vars". After the AgentEnv refactor,
deacon/manager.go now uses config.AgentEnv() like all other roles.
- Remove the skip condition for deacon in env_check.go
- Update test from TestEnvVarsCheck_DeaconSkipped to test deacon is
actually checked (TestEnvVarsCheck_DeaconCorrect/DeaconMissing)

Crew workspaces use clones with redirected beads directories, like
polecat and refinery. They should bypass the bd daemon for fresh
data and isolation.

Create centralized AgentEnv function as single source of truth for all
agent environment variables. All agents now consistently receive:
- GT_ROLE, BD_ACTOR, GIT_AUTHOR_NAME (role identity)
- GT_ROOT, BEADS_DIR (workspace paths)
- GT_RIG, GT_POLECAT/GT_CREW (rig-specific identity)
- BEADS_AGENT_NAME, BEADS_NO_DAEMON (beads config)
- CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR (optional account selection)
Remove RoleEnvVars in favor of AgentEnvSimple wrapper.
Remove IncludeBeadsEnv flag - beads env vars always included.
Update all manager and cmd call sites to use AgentEnv.

Adds a new `gt doctor` check that verifies tmux session environment
variables match expected values from `config.RoleEnvVars()`.
- Checks all Gas Town sessions (gt-*, hq-*)
- Compares actual tmux env vars against expected for each role
- Reports mismatches with guidance to restart sessions
- Treats no sessions as success (valid when Gas Town is down)
- Skips deacon (doesn't use standard env vars)
Also:
- Adds `tmux.GetAllEnvironment()` to retrieve all session env vars
- Removes redundant gtroot_check (env-vars check covers GT_ROOT)

Previously, polecat startup used hardcoded paths for BEADS_DIR that
didn't follow redirects for repos with tracked beads. This meant
polecats working in worktrees (where .beads/redirect points to the
actual beads location) would use the wrong beads directory.
Fixed locations:
- daemon.go: polecat startup now uses ResolveBeadsDir
- polecat/session_manager.go: session startup now uses ResolveBeadsDir

Consolidates all role startup code to use the shared RoleEnvVars()
function, ensuring consistent env vars across tmux SetEnvironment
and Claude startup command exports.
Updated:
- Mayor manager
- Deacon startup (daemon.go)
- Witness manager
- Refinery manager
- Polecat startup (daemon.go)
- BuildPolecatStartupCommand, BuildCrewStartupCommand helpers
This ensures all agents receive the same identity env vars regardless
of startup path.

Introduces config.RoleEnvVars() as the single source of truth for role
identity environment variables (GT_ROLE, GT_RIG, BD_ACTOR, etc.).
CLI improvements:
- Fix getRoleHome paths (witness has no /rig suffix, polecat/crew do)
- Make gt role env read-only (displays current role from env/cwd)
- Add EnvIncomplete handling: fill missing env vars from cwd with warning
- Add cwd mismatch warnings when not in role home directory
- gt role home now validates --polecat requires --rig
Includes comprehensive e2e tests for all role detection scenarios.

Start crew members concurrently instead of sequentially. Previously,
`gt crew start --all` could hang for minutes because each crew member
was started one at a time, with each waiting up to 60 seconds for
Claude to initialize.
With parallel startup, all crew members start simultaneously and
the total wait time is bounded by the slowest individual startup.

Add detection for when the installed gt binary is out of date with the
source repository. This helps catch issues where commands fail mysteriously
because the installed binary doesn't have recent fixes.
Changes:
- Add internal/version package with stale binary detection logic
- Add startup warning in PersistentPreRunE when binary is stale
- Add gt doctor check for stale-binary
- Use prefix matching for commit comparison (handles short vs full hash)
The warning is non-blocking and only shows once per shell session via
the GT_STALE_WARNED environment variable.

When routing-based verification (verifyBeadExists) fails due to
routes.jsonl configuration issues, gt sling now falls back to pattern
matching via looksLikeBeadID to accept valid bead ID formats.
The fix ensures:
1. verifyBeadExists is tried first (routing-based lookup)
2. verifyFormulaExists is tried second (formula check)
3. looksLikeBeadID pattern match is used as final fallback
Also improved looksLikeBeadID to accept any 1-5 letter lowercase
prefix followed by hyphen and alphanumeric chars.
Fixes: gt sling bd-xxx failing with "not a valid bead or formula"
when the bead exists but routing cannot find it.

The Deacon patrol formula now uses `gt mol step await-signal` with
exponential backoff instead of vague "sleep 60s" instructions.
How it works:
- Subscribes to `bd activity --follow` (beads activity feed)
- Returns IMMEDIATELY when any gt/bd command triggers activity
- On timeout, waits exponentially longer: 60s → 120s → 240s → max 10m
- Tracks idle:N label on hq-deacon bead across invocations
This connects the designed-but-unintegrated backoff mechanism to the
actual patrol loop. Idle towns let Deacon sleep; active work wakes it.

Add three layers of protection to prevent accidental branch switches in
the town root (~/gt), which should always stay on main:
1. Doctor check `town-root-branch`: Verifies town root is on main/master.
Fixable via `gt doctor --fix` to switch back to main.
2. Doctor check `pre-checkout-hook`: Verifies git pre-checkout hook is
installed. The hook blocks checkout from main to any other branch.
Fixable via `gt doctor --fix` or `gt git-init`.
3. Runtime warning in all gt commands: Non-blocking warning if town root
is on wrong branch, with fix instructions.
The root cause of this issue was git commands running in the wrong
directory, switching the town root to a polecat branch. This broke gt
commands because rigs.json and other configs were on main, not the
polecat branch.

- Add BeadsCustomTypes constant ("agent,role,rig,convoy,slot") to avoid
hardcoded strings scattered across the codebase
- Add CustomTypesCheck to gt doctor that verifies Gas Town custom types
are registered with beads, with --fix support
- Register custom types during gt init (best-effort, skips if no beads)
- Update install.go, rig_check.go, and rig/manager.go to use the constant
This ensures consistent type registration across all code paths and
catches misconfigured beads databases via gt doctor.

Agents were confused when receiving "gt prime" as their first prompt,
interpreting it as a command to investigate rather than understanding
they were starting a Gas Town session.
Changed crew_at.go, start.go, and handoff.go to use FormatStartupNudge()
which produces a proper beacon like:
[GAS TOWN] george/crew/george <- human • 2026-01-09T10:30 • start
The SessionStart hook (gt prime --hook) still injects context - the
prompt just needs to be something agents recognize as a greeting.

Refinery was using rig.Path which found the town's .git with rig-named
remotes (e.g., 'gastown') instead of 'origin'. This caused refinery to
miss polecat branches when fetching.
Now falls back to mayor/rig (which has 'origin' pointing to the project
repo) when refinery/rig doesn't exist.
Fixes: hq-uvrzt
gt shutdown was not stopping the daemon, which caused it to restart
agents (witnesses, refineries) after shutdown completed. The daemon
heartbeats every 3 minutes and calls ensureWitnessesRunning() and
ensureRefineriesRunning(), which would notice the sessions were dead
and restart them.
This adds daemon stop logic to both runGracefulShutdown (as Phase 6)
and runImmediateShutdown (after polecat cleanup), matching the behavior
that gt down already has.

Add --verbose/-v flag to gt costs command that outputs debug information
when silent failures occur during cost tracking operations:
- wisp list failures in querySessionCostWisps and deleteSessionCostWisps
- bd show failures when querying wisp details

Agent sessions would fail on startup because send-keys arrived before the
shell was ready, causing 'bad pattern' and 'command not found' errors.
Fix: Create sessions with the command directly using tmux new-session's
command argument. This runs the agent as the pane's initial process,
avoiding shell readiness timing issues entirely.
Updated all agent managers: mayor, deacon, witness, refinery, polecat, crew.
Also fixes pre-existing build error in polecat/manager.go (polecatPath →
clonePath/newClonePath).

Bare clones don't have remote.origin.fetch set by default, which breaks
worktrees that need to fetch and see origin/* refs. This caused refinery

- Call from CloneBare() and CloneBareWithReference()
- Add BareRepoRefspecCheck to doctor for existing rigs

Changes polecat worktree structure from:
polecats/<name>/
to:
polecats/<name>/<rigname>/
This gives Claude Code agents a recognizable directory name (e.g., tidepool/)
in their cwd instead of just the polecat name, preventing confusion about
which repo they are working in.
Key changes:
- Add clonePath() method to manager.go and session_manager.go for the actual
git worktree path, keeping polecatDir() for existence checks
- Update Add(), RepairWorktree(), Remove() to use new structure
- Update daemon lifecycle and restart code for new paths
- Update witness handlers to detect both structures
- Update doctor checks (rig_check, branch_check, config_check,
claude_settings_check) for backward compatibility
- All code includes fallback to old structure for existing polecats
