Create five formulas for dog-executed infrastructure tasks:
- mol-convoy-cleanup: Archive convoy, notify overseer
- mol-dep-propagate: Cross-rig dependency resolution
- mol-digest-generate: Daily digest for overseer
- mol-orphan-scan: Find and reassign orphaned work
- mol-session-gc: Clean stale sessions
Each formula follows the standard TOML structure with:
- Description and dog contract
- Step-by-step workflow with dependencies
- Variable definitions
- Squash configuration for digests

Dogs are reusable workers managed by the Deacon for cross-rig infrastructure
tasks. Unlike polecats (single-rig, ephemeral), dogs have worktrees into
multiple rigs and persist between tasks.
Key components:
- internal/dog/types.go: Dog struct, State enum, DogState JSON schema
- internal/dog/manager.go: Manager with Add/Remove/List/Get/Refresh operations
- internal/dog/manager_test.go: Unit tests
Features:
- Multi-rig worktrees: Each dog gets a worktree per configured rig
- State tracking: .dog.json with idle/working state, last-active, work assignment
- Worktree refresh: Recreate stale worktrees with fresh branches
- Branch cleanup: Remove orphaned dog branches across all rigs
Directory structure: ~/gt/deacon/dogs/<name>/
- <rig>/ (worktree into each rig: gastown/, beads/, etc.)
- .dog.json (state file)

- Activity feed integration for observability

Implement static mailing list expansion for the mail system:
- Add list:name address syntax (e.g., list:oncall)
- Load lists from ~/gt/config/messaging.json
- Fan-out delivery: each list member gets their own message copy
- Clear error handling for unknown list names
- Add tests for list detection, parsing, and expansion
- Update gt mail send help text with list:name documentation
- Show recipients in output when sending to a list
Example:
gt mail send list:oncall -s "Alert" -m "System down"
# Expands to: mayor/, gastown/witness
# Creates 2 message copies

Implements role-based lifecycle configuration where agent types self-register
via role beads instead of hardcoded identity string parsing in the daemon.
Changes:
- Add RoleConfig struct with lifecycle fields (session_pattern, work_dir_pattern,
needs_pre_sync, start_command, env_vars)
- Add ParseRoleConfig/FormatRoleConfig/ExpandRolePattern to beads package
- Add role bead ID helpers (RoleBeadID, MayorRoleBeadID, etc.)
- Refactor daemon to use single parseIdentity function as ONLY place where
identity strings are parsed
- Daemon now looks up role beads to get lifecycle config, with fallback to
defaults when role bead is missing or has no config
- Updated all role beads (mayor, deacon, witness, refinery, crew, polecat)
with structured lifecycle configuration fields
- Add comprehensive unit tests for RoleConfig parsing and expansion
This makes the daemon ZFC-compliant by trusting what agents self-report in
their role beads rather than encoding agent-specific knowledge in Go code.

Remove decision-making logic from Go code and document agent responsibility:
- ProcessMR() now returns error indicating agent handles processing
- Foreground mode deprecated with message directing to background mode
- Retry() no longer calls ProcessMR (agent picks up retried MRs)
- Added ZFC compliance section to refinery role template
- Marked unused helper functions as deprecated (runTests, getMergeConfig, pushWithRetry)
The Refinery agent (Claude) now:
- Runs git commands directly (fetch, checkout, merge, push)
- Detects conflicts and decides: retry, notify polecat, escalate
- Runs tests and decides: proceed, rollback, retry
- Makes all engineering decisions based on command output
Go code provides only primitives: queue listing, status, mail notifications.

Implements the feed daemon goroutine that:
- Tails ~/gt/.events.jsonl for raw events
- Filters by visibility tag (keeps feed/both, drops audit)
- Deduplicates repeated done events from same actor
- Aggregates sling events when multiple occur in window
- Writes curated events to ~/gt/.feed.jsonl with summaries
The curator runs as a goroutine in the gt daemon, starting when
the daemon starts and stopping gracefully on shutdown.

observable metrics (total counts, today counts). These are now
handled by the activity stream/beads system instead.
Removed:
- WitnessStats type and Stats field from Witness
- RefineryStats type and Stats field from Refinery
- LastCheckAt field from Witness
- Stats display from gt witness status
- Stats display from gt refinery status
- Stats increment code from refinery.completeMR()

- MonitoredPolecats, Config, SpawnedIssues (witness)

Add support for displaying gt events (from ~/gt/.events.jsonl) in the
gt feed TUI, including witness patrol activity:
- Add event symbols for patrol events (patrol_started, patrol_complete,
polecat_checked, polecat_nudged, escalation_sent), merge events, and
general gt events (sling, hook, handoff, mail, spawn, etc.)
- Create GtEventsSource that parses .events.jsonl format with proper
extraction of rig/role from actor paths and human-readable message
generation from event payloads
- Create CombinedSource that merges multiple event sources (bd activity
and gt events) using fan-in pattern
- Update feed command to use combined source for TUI mode
- Add appropriate styling for new event types (nudges/escalations in
red, patrol complete in green, etc.)
Example gt feed output now shows:
09:45 ✓ witness: All polecats healthy
09:44 ⚡ witness: nudged nux (idle 10m)
09:40 🎯 mayor: slung gt-rbncw to furiosa

When spawning polecats in non-gastown rigs like beads, the agent bead ID
was incorrectly using the hardcoded "gt-" prefix instead of the rig's
configured prefix (e.g., "bd-" for beads).
Changes:
- Add GetPrefixForRig() in routes.go to look up prefix from routes.jsonl
- Update agentIDToBeadID() in sling.go to use rig's prefix via the new
*WithPrefix functions instead of hardcoded "gt"
- Add unit tests for the new functionality

The mrqueue package was aspirational 'beads-based MR automation' that was
never completed. The Refinery agent is prompt-driven and uses beads/mail
for coordination, not a Go-based polling queue.
Removed:
- internal/mrqueue/mrqueue.go (entire package)
- internal/cmd/mq_migrate.go (migration command for mrqueue)
- mrqueue submission from done.go and mq_submit.go
- Engineer.ProcessMRFromQueue() and related queue handlers
- Engineer.Run(), Stop(), processOnce() methods
- mrQueue field and stopCh from Engineer struct
- stopCh assertion from TestNewEngineer
Kept:
- Bead creation for merge-requests (audit record)
- Engineer struct and NewEngineer for potential future use
- Engineer.ProcessMR() (works with beads.Issue)
- Manager.ProcessMR() which is the working implementation

stderr on failure for debugging
- orphans.go: git fsck now includes stderr in error messages
- patrol_helpers.go: bd list/show/catalog commands now log stderr
Daemon launch cases (up.go, daemon.go, daemon_check.go) correctly
use nil for I/O detachment but now have clarifying comments.

The witness template previously instructed using raw git commands:
- git worktree remove polecats/<name>
- git branch -d polecat/<name>
This failed because git worktree operations must run from the repo
that created the worktree (mayor/rig or .repo.git), not the rig root.
Now uses `gt polecat nuke` which handles repo base detection via
the repoBase() function and properly cleans up worktrees.

1. ResolveBeadsDir now detects when a redirect points back to itself
and auto-removes the errant redirect file with a warning
2. ensureBeadsRedirect now includes safety checks:
- Prevents creating redirects inside mayor/rig/ (the canonical location)
- Validates that the redirect target is not the same as the beads dir

When GT_ROLE env var is not set, detectSender() now falls back to
cwd-based detection instead of immediately returning "overseer".
This allows running mail commands from witness/refinery directories
without GT_ROLE set (e.g., debugging sessions) and correctly detecting
the identity from the current working directory path.
