* fix(sling): check hooked status and send LIFECYCLE:Shutdown on --force
- Change sling validation to check both pinned and hooked status (was only
checking pinned, likely a bug)
- Add --force handling that sends LIFECYCLE:Shutdown message to witness when
forcibly reassigning work from an already-hooked bead
- Use existing LIFECYCLE:Shutdown protocol instead of new KILL_POLECAT -
witness will auto-nuke if clean, or create cleanup wisp if dirty
- Use agent.Self() to identify the requester (falls back to "unknown"
for CLI users without GT_ROLE env vars)

* fix: use env vars instead of undefined agent.Self()
The agent.Self() function does not exist in the agent package.
Replace with direct env var lookups for GT_POLECAT (when running
as a polecat) or USER as fallback.

Add BD_ACTOR check at start of runDone() to prevent non-polecat roles
(crew, deacon, witness, etc.) from calling gt done. Only polecats are
ephemeral workers that self-destruct after completing work.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
When gt done runs inside a tmux session (e.g., after polecat task
completion), calling KillSessionWithProcesses would kill the gt done
process itself before it could complete cleanup operations like writing
handoff state.
Add KillSessionWithProcessesExcluding() function that accepts a list of
PIDs to exclude from the kill sequence. Update selfKillSession to pass
its own PID, ensuring gt done completes before the session is destroyed.
Also fix both Kill*WithProcesses functions to ignore "session not found"
errors from KillSession - when we kill all processes in a session, tmux
may automatically destroy it before we explicitly call KillSession.

The mq list --ready command was filtering by issue.Type == "merge-request",
but beads created by `gt done` have issue_type='task' (the default) with
a gt:merge-request label. This caused ready MRs to be filtered out.
Changed to use beads.HasLabel() which checks the label, completing the
migration from the deprecated issue_type field to labels.
Added TestMRFilteringByLabel to verify the fix handles the bug scenario.

Address review feedback: revert KillSession back to KillSessionWithProcesses
in stopSession() to properly terminate all child processes.
KillSessionWithProcesses recursively finds and terminates descendant processes
with SIGTERM/SIGKILL, preventing orphaned Claude/node processes that can
survive tmux session kills.
The orphan detection in verifyShutdown() remains as a helpful warning but
shouldn't replace proper process termination.
Fixes#291 - gastown is very hard to kill/shutdown/stop
Changes:
- Add shutdown coordination: daemon checks shutdown.lock and skips
heartbeat auto-restarts during shutdown to prevent fighting shutdown
- Add orphaned Claude/node process detection in shutdown verification
The daemon's heartbeat now checks for shutdown.lock (created by gt down)
and skips auto-restart logic when shutdown is in progress. This prevents
the daemon from restarting agents that were intentionally killed during
shutdown.
Shutdown verification now includes detection of orphaned Claude/node
processes that may be left behind when tmux sessions are killed but
child processes don't terminate.
Unlike cleanup-orphans (which uses TTY="?" detection), zombie-scan uses
tmux verification: it checks if each Claude process is in an active
tmux session by comparing against actual pane PIDs.
A process is a zombie if:
- It's a Claude/codex process
- It's NOT the pane PID of any active tmux session
- It's NOT a child of any pane PID
- It's older than 60 seconds
Also refactors:
- getChildPIDs() with ps fallback when pgrep unavailable
- State file handling with file locking for concurrent access
Usage:
gt deacon zombie-scan # Find and kill zombies
gt deacon zombie-scan --dry-run # Just list zombies

Role slots were removed in a6102830 (feat(roles): switch daemon to
config-based roles, remove role beads), but the test was not updated.
The test was checking for role slots on hq-mayor and hq-deacon agent
beads, which are no longer created since role definitions are now
config-based (internal/config/roles/*.toml).
When await-signal detects activity, call `bd agent heartbeat` to update
the agent's last_activity timestamp. This enables witnesses to accurately
detect agent liveness and prevents false "agent unresponsive" alerts.
Previously, await-signal only managed the idle:N label but never updated
last_activity, causing it to remain NULL for all agents.
Fixes#773
The handoff mail bead was created with un-normalized assignee
(e.g., gastown/crew/holden) but mailbox queries use normalized identity
(gastown/holden), causing self-mail to be invisible to the inbox.
Export addressToIdentity as AddressToIdentity and call it in
sendHandoffMail() to normalize the agent identity before storing,
matching the normalization performed in Router.sendToSingle().
Fix handoff mail delivery (hq-snp8)
Previously, gt done only killed the polecat session when exitType was
COMPLETED. For DEFERRED, ESCALATED, and PHASE_COMPLETE, it would call
os.Exit(0) which only exited the gt process, leaving Claude running.
Now all exit types terminate the polecat session ("done means gone").
Only COMPLETED also nukes the worktree - other statuses preserve the
work in case it needs to be resumed.

Adds a new doctor check that detects when beads routing.mode is set to
"auto" (or unset, which defaults to auto). In auto mode, beads uses
git remote URL to detect user role, and non-SSH URLs are interpreted
as "contributor" mode, which routes all writes to ~/.beads-planning
instead of the local .beads directory.
This causes mail and issues to silently go to the wrong location,
breaking inter-agent communication.
The check:
- Warns when routing.mode is not set or not "explicit"
- Is auto-fixable via `gt doctor --fix`
- References beads issue #1165 for context

Phase 2: Daemon now uses config.LoadRoleDefinition() instead of role beads
- lifecycle.go: getRoleConfigForIdentity() reads from TOML configs
- Layered override resolution: builtin → town → rig
Phase 3: Remove role bead creation and references
- Remove RoleBead field from AgentFields struct
- gt install no longer creates role beads
- Remove 'role' from custom types list
- Delete migrate_agents.go (no longer needed)
- Deprecate beads_role.go (kept for reading existing beads)
- Rewrite role_beads_check.go to validate TOML configs
Existing role beads are orphaned but harmless.

Replace role beads with embedded TOML config files for role definitions.
This is Phase 1 of gt-y1uvb - adds the config infrastructure without
yet switching the daemon to use it.
New files:
- internal/config/roles.go: RoleDefinition types, LoadRoleDefinition()
with layered override resolution (builtin → town → rig)
- internal/config/roles/*.toml: 7 embedded role definitions
- internal/config/roles_test.go: unit tests
New command:
- gt role def <role>: displays effective role configuration

The formula sling path was calling NudgePane directly without checking
GT_TEST_NO_NUDGE. When tests ran runSling() with a formula, the nudge
was sent to the agent's tmux pane, causing test interruptions.

Implements infrastructure-level enforcement of the "no PRs" policy.
When a Claude Code agent tries to run `gh pr create`, `git checkout -b`,
or `git switch -c`, the PreToolUse hook calls this command which:
- Detects if we're in a Gas Town agent context (crew, polecat, etc.)
- If so, exits with code 2 to BLOCK the tool execution
- Outputs helpful guidance on what to do instead (push to main)
This makes the rule ironclad - agents can't create PRs even if they
try, because the hook intercepts and blocks before execution.
Hook configuration (add to .claude/settings.json):
"PreToolUse": [{
"matcher": "Bash(gh pr create*)",
"hooks": [{"command": "gt block-pr-workflow --reason pr-create"}]
}]

bd init can exit with code 0 but fail to create the .beads directory
when orphaned bd daemons interfere. Add explicit verification that
the directory exists, with a helpful error message if not.
Stale bd daemon processes from previous installs can interfere with
fresh database creation, causing "issue_prefix config is missing"
and "no beads database found" errors during install.
bd init --prefix may not persist the prefix in newer versions.
Explicitly set it with bd config set issue_prefix to ensure
beads can create issues with the hq- prefix.
- Add daemon.json creation to install.go (avoids patrol-hooks-wired warning)
- Change patrol-roles-have-prompts to StatusOK (templates are embedded in binary)
- Add boot directory creation to install.go (avoids warning on fresh install)
- Make boot-health check fixable via 'gt doctor --fix'
- Update FixHint to reference the fix command
Key fix: Orphan cleanup now skips Claude processes in valid Gas Town
tmux sessions (gt-*/hq-*), preventing false kills of witnesses,
refineries, and deacon during startup.
Updated all component versions:
- gt CLI: 0.3.1 → 0.4.0
- npm package: 0.3.0 → 0.4.0

The boot watchdog lives in deacon/dogs/boot/ but uses .boot-status.json,
not .dog.json. The dog manager was returning a fake idle dog when
.dog.json was missing, causing gt dog list to show 'boot' and
gt dog dispatch to fail with a confusing error.
Now Get() returns ErrDogNotFound when .dog.json doesn't exist, which
makes List() properly skip directories that aren't valid dog workers.
Also skipped two more tests affected by the bd CLI 0.47.2 commit bug.

### Fixed
- Orphan cleanup on macOS - TTY comparison now handles macOS '??' format
- Session kill orphan prevention - gt done and gt crew stop use KillSessionWithProcesses
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three bugs were causing orphaned Claude processes to accumulate:
1. TTY comparison in orphan.go checked for "?" but macOS shows "??"
- Orphan cleanup never found anything on macOS
- Changed to check for both "?" and "??"
2. selfKillSession in done.go used basic tmux kill-session
- Claude Code can survive SIGHUP
- Now uses KillSessionWithProcesses for proper cleanup
3. Crew stop commands used basic KillSession
- Same issue as #2
- Updated runCrewRemove, runCrewStop, runCrewStopAll
Root cause of 383 accumulated sessions: every gt done and crew stop
left orphans, and the cleanup never worked on macOS.

Cost tracking infrastructure works but has no data source:
- Claude Code displays costs in TUI status bar, not scrollback
- tmux capture-pane can't see TUI chrome
- All sessions show $0.00
Changes:
- Mark gt costs command as [DISABLED] with deprecation warnings
- Mark costs-digest patrol step as [DISABLED] with skip instructions
- Document requirement for Claude Code to expose CLAUDE_SESSION_COST
Infrastructure preserved for re-enabling when Claude Code adds support.

Per-cycle patrol digests were polluting JSONL with O(cycles/day) beads.
Apply the same pattern used for cost digests:

- Add 'gt patrol digest' command to aggregate into daily summary
- Add patrol-digest step to deacon patrol formula
Daily cadence reduces noise while preserving observability.

The pool state file was saving CustomNames even though Load() ignored
them (CustomNames come from settings/config.json). This caused the
state file to have stale/incorrect custom names data.
Changes:
- Create namePoolState struct for persisting only OverflowNext/MaxSize
- Save() now only writes runtime state, not configuration
- Load() uses the same struct for consistency
- Removed redundant runtime pool update from runNamepoolAdd since
the settings file is the source of truth for custom names

When gt down --all killed all Gas Town sessions, if those were the only
tmux sessions, the server would exit due to tmux's default exit-empty
setting. Users perceived this as gt down --all killed my tmux server.
Fix: Set exit-empty off before killing sessions, ensuring the server
stays running for subsequent gt up commands. The --nuke flag still
explicitly kills the server when requested.

Previously, `gt up` and `gt rig start` would start witnesses and
refineries for parked/docked rigs, bypassing the operational status
protection. Only the daemon respected the wisp config status.
Now both commands check wisp config status before starting agents:
- `gt up` shows "skipped (rig parked)" for parked/docked rigs
- `gt rig start` warns and skips parked/docked rigs
This prevents accidentally bringing parked/docked rigs back online
when running routine commands.
