When `gt mq submit` is run from a polecat work branch (polecat/<worker>/<issue>),
it now automatically triggers polecat shutdown after submitting the MR. The
polecat sends a lifecycle request to its Witness and waits for termination.
This eliminates the need for polecats to manually run `gt handoff --shutdown`
after completing work - they can just run `gt mq submit` and the cleanup
happens automatically.
Added `--no-cleanup` flag to disable auto-cleanup when needed (e.g., for
submitting multiple MRs or continuing work).

Closes gt-48bs: gt rig reset now clears stale mail messages.
- Non-pinned messages are closed with reason 'Cleared during reset'
- Pinned messages have their content cleared but remain open
- Works with both --mail flag and default reset (all state)
Implements gt-b2hj: Uses git fsck --unreachable to find orphaned commits
that were never merged to main.
Features:
- Filters to commits only (not blobs/trees)
- Date filtering (--days=N, default 7)
- Excludes stash commits (WIP on, index on, etc.)
- Excludes routine bd sync commits
- Shows recovery hints (cherry-pick, show, branch)
- docs/architecture.md: update mail routing explanation
- internal/witness/manager.go: fix actual bd mail calls to gt mail
- internal/cmd/mail.go: remove stale compatibility note
- internal/daemon/lifecycle.go: update comment
gt shutdown now performs full polecat cleanup after killing sessions:
- Removes worktrees
- Deletes polecat branches from mayor's clone
- Protects polecats with uncommitted work (refuses to clean)
Added --nuclear flag to force cleanup even with uncommitted work.

Fixes gt-9nf: gt spawn should create fresh polecat worktree, never reuse
Changes:
- Add Recreate() method to polecat manager that removes and recreates worktrees
- Modify spawn.go to always recreate existing polecats with fresh worktrees
- Preserves safety checks: blocks if polecat is working or has uncommitted work
- Use --force to bypass uncommitted work checks
This ensures polecats always start with the latest code from the base branch,
avoiding stale code, stale beads, and git history pollution.

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.

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.
