Wisp molecules (gt-wisp-* IDs, mol-* titles) are transient operational
beads for witness/refinery/polecat patrol, not strategic goals that
need human attention. These are now filtered by default.

Add three new flags for filtering convoys by epic relationship:
- --orphans: show only convoys without a parent epic
- --epic <id>: show only convoys under a specific epic
- --by-epic: group convoys by parent epic
These support the Goals Layer feature (Phase 3) for hierarchical
focus management.

Implements gt goals command to show epics sorted by staleness × priority.
Features:
- List all open epics with staleness indicators (🟢/🟡/🔴)
- Sort by attention score (priority × staleness hours)
- Show specific goal details with description and linked convoys
- JSON output support
- Priority and status filtering
Staleness thresholds:
- 🟢 active: moved in last hour
- 🟡 stale: no movement for 1+ hours
- 🔴 stuck: no movement for 4+ hours

Change molecule step completion instructions to use `gt mol step done`
instead of `bd close`. This ensures polecats get fresh context between
each step, which is critical for multi-step review workflows like
shiny-enterprise where each refinement pass should have unbiased attention.
The `gt mol step done` command already:
1. Closes the step
2. Finds the next ready step
3. Respawns the pane for fresh context
But polecats were being instructed to use `bd close` directly, which
skipped the respawn and let them run through entire workflows in a
single session with accumulated context.
Updated:
- prime_molecule.go: step completion instructions
- mol-polecat-work.formula.toml
- mol-polecat-code-review.formula.toml
- mol-polecat-review-pr.formula.toml

Three fixes to make dog dispatch work end-to-end:
1. Add BuildDogStartupCommand in loader.go
- Similar to BuildPolecatStartupCommand/BuildCrewStartupCommand
- Passes AgentName to AgentEnv so BD_ACTOR is exported in startup command
2. Use BuildDogStartupCommand in dog.go
- Removes ineffective SetEnvironment calls (env vars set after shell starts
don't propagate to already-running processes)
3. Add "dog" case in mail_identity.go detectSenderFromRole
- Dogs now use BD_ACTOR for mail identity
- Without this, dogs fell through to "overseer" and couldn't find their mail
Tested: dog alpha now correctly sees inbox as deacon/dogs/alpha
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Recovered from reflog - these commits were lost during a rebase/force-push.
Dogs are directories with state files but no sessions. When `gt dog dispatch`
assigned work and sent mail, nothing executed because no session existed.
Changes:
1. Spawn tmux session after dispatch (gt-<town>-deacon-<dogname>)
2. Set BD_ACTOR=deacon/dogs/<name> so dogs can find their mail
3. Add dog case to AgentEnv for proper identity
Session spawn is non-blocking - if it fails, mail was sent and human can
manually start the session.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Dogs can now reset their own state to idle after completing work:
gt dog done # Auto-detect from BD_ACTOR
gt dog done alpha # Explicit name
This solves the issue where dog sessions would complete work but remain in
"working" state because nothing processed the DOG_DONE mail. Now dogs can
explicitly mark themselves idle before handing off.

Phase 1 of agent security model: Set distinct email addresses for each
agent type to improve audit trail clarity.
Email format:
- Town-level: {role}@gastown.local (mayor, deacon, boot)
- Rig-level: {rig}-{role}@gastown.local (witness, refinery)
- Named agents: {rig}-{role}-{name}@gastown.local (polecat, crew)
This makes git log filtering by agent type trivial and provides a
foundation for per-agent key separation in future phases.
Refs: hq-biot
Mayor now checks `gt escalate list` between hook and mail checks at startup.
This ensures pending escalations from other agents are handled promptly.
Other roles (witness, refinery, polecat, crew, deacon) are unaffected -
they create escalations but don't handle them at startup.
Tags are used for releases and shouldn't be blocked by the branch
restriction that prevents feature branch pushes.

KillPaneProcesses was being called on new sessions before respawn,
which killed the fresh shell and destroyed the pane. This caused
"can't find pane" errors on session creation.
Now KillPaneProcesses is only called when restarting in an existing
session where Claude/Node processes might be running and ignoring
SIGHUP. For new sessions, we just use respawn-pane directly.
Also added retry limit and error checking for the stale session
recovery path.

## Problem
Claude processes were accumulating as orphans, with 100+ processes piling up
daily. Every `gt handoff` (used dozens of times/hour by crew) left orphaned
processes because `tmux respawn-pane -k` only sends SIGHUP, which Node/Claude
ignores.
## Root Cause
Previous fixes (1043f00d, f89ac47f, 2feefd17, 1b036aad) were laser-focused on
specific symptoms (shutdown, setsid, done.go, molecule_step.go) but never did
a comprehensive audit of ALL RespawnPane call sites. handoff.go was never
fixed despite being the main source of orphans.
## Solution
Added KillPaneProcesses() call before every RespawnPane() in:
- handoff.go (self handoff and remote handoff)
- mayor.go (mayor restart)
- crew_at.go (new session and restart)
KillPaneProcesses explicitly kills all descendant processes with SIGTERM/SIGKILL
before respawning, preventing orphans regardless of SIGHUP handling.
molecule_step.go already had this fix from commit 1b036aad.

fix(sling): auto-apply mol-polecat-work (#288) and fix wisp orphan lifecycle bug (#842)
Fixes the formula-on-bead pattern to hook the base bead instead of the wisp:
- Auto-apply mol-polecat-work when slinging bare beads to polecats
- Hook BASE bead with attached_molecule pointing to wisp
- gt done now closes attached molecule before closing hooked bead
- Convoys complete properly when work finishes
Fixes#288, #842, #858
resolveSelfTarget returns "mayor/" with trailing slash per addressToIdentity
normalization, but agentIDToBeadID only checked for "mayor" without slash.

Changes patrol-molecules-exist check to verify that patrol formulas
are accessible via `bd formula list` instead of looking for placeholder
molecule beads created by `bd create --type=molecule`.
## Problem
The check was looking for molecule-type beads with titles "Deacon Patrol",
"Witness Patrol", and "Refinery Patrol". These placeholder beads serve no
functional purpose because:
1. Patrols actually use `bd mol wisp mol-deacon-patrol` which cooks
formulas inline (on-the-fly)
2. The formulas already exist at the town level in .beads/formulas/
3. The placeholder beads are never referenced by any patrol code
## Solution
- Check for formula names (mol-deacon-patrol, mol-witness-patrol,
mol-refinery-patrol) instead of bead titles
- Use `bd formula list` instead of `bd list --type=molecule`
- Remove Fix() method that created unnecessary placeholder beads
- Update messages to reflect that formulas should exist in search paths
## Impact
- Check now verifies what patrols actually need (formulas)
- Eliminates creation of unnecessary placeholder beads
- More accurate health check for patrol system

Problem:
- Gas Town sets GT_TOWN_ROOT environment variable
- Beads searches for formulas using GT_ROOT environment variable
- This naming inconsistency prevents beads from finding town-level formulas
- Result: `bd mol seed --patrol` fails in rigs, causing false doctor warnings
Solution:
Export both GT_TOWN_ROOT and GT_ROOT from `gt rig detect` command:
- Modified stdout output to export both variables (lines 66, 70)
- Updated cache storage format (lines 134, 136, 138)
- Updated unset statement for both variables (line 110)
- Updated command documentation (lines 33, 37)
Both variables point to the same town root path. This maintains backward
compatibility with Gas Town (GT_TOWN_ROOT) while enabling beads formula
search (GT_ROOT).
Testing:
- `gt rig detect .` now outputs both GT_TOWN_ROOT and GT_ROOT
- `bd mol seed --patrol` works correctly when GT_ROOT is set
- Formula search paths work as expected: town/.beads/formulas/ accessible

Both settings-autonomous.json and settings-interactive.json templates
were using bare 'gt prime' in SessionStart and PreCompact hooks, which
caused gt doctor to report warnings about missing --hook flag.
The --hook flag is required for proper session ID passthrough from
Claude Code. When called as a hook, 'gt prime --hook' reads session
metadata (session_id, transcript_path, source) from stdin JSON that
Claude Code provides.
Without --hook, session tracking breaks and gt doctor correctly warns:
"SessionStart uses bare 'gt prime' - add --hook flag or use session-start.sh"
This fix updates both template files to use 'gt prime --hook' in:
- SessionStart hooks (lines 12)
- PreCompact hooks (lines 23)
New installations will now generate settings.json files with the
correct format that passes gt doctor validation.

When slinging work to an agent, updateAgentHookBead() was running
bd slot set from townRoot. But agent beads with rig-level prefixes
(e.g., go-) live in rig databases, not the town database. This caused
"issue not found" errors when trying to update the hook_bead slot.
Fix: Use beads.ResolveHookDir() to resolve the correct working directory
based on the agent bead's prefix before calling SetHookBead().

When checkDeaconHeartbeat detects a stuck Deacon and kills it, the code
relied on ensureDeaconRunning being called on the next heartbeat. However,
on the next heartbeat, checkDeaconHeartbeat exits early when it finds no
session (assuming ensureDeaconRunning already ran), creating a deadlock
where the Deacon is never restarted.
This fix calls ensureDeaconRunning immediately after the kill attempt,
regardless of success or failure, ensuring the Deacon is restarted
promptly.
