Crew workers getting wrong CLAUDE.md (shows Refinery)

## Problem

Crew workers (emma, dave) have CLAUDE.md that says they're the Refinery.

## Evidence

```
$ head -5 /Users/stevey/gt/beads/crew/emma/CLAUDE.md
# Claude: Beads Refinery
You are the **Refinery** for the **beads** rig...
```

## Expected

Should use crew.md.tmpl which correctly says:
```
# Crew Worker Context
You are a **crew worker** - the overseer's (human's) personal workspace...
```

## Impact

- Crew workers have wrong identity in static context
- `gt prime` correctly outputs crew context, but CLAUDE.md conflicts
- Confusing role information

## Fix

Check `gt crew create` or whatever populates CLAUDE.md for crew workers.

Haiku-based smart stuck detection

Use Haiku to analyze tmux state when signals are ambiguous.

## When to Invoke

Only as escalation tier:
1. Keepalive is stale (> 2 min)
2. Tmux shows claude is running (not idle shell)
3. Heuristics can't determine state

## Prompt

Capture last 50 lines of tmux pane, ask Haiku:
'Is this Claude agent: WORKING | STUCK | IDLE | WAITING_FOR_HUMAN?'

## Cost

~$0.001 per check. At 1 check/min worst case = $0.06/hour.
In practice, most checks avoided by keepalive signal.

## Configuration

```toml
[daemon]
smart_detection = true
smart_model = "haiku"
smart_threshold = "2m"  # only check if stale > 2min
```

Witness Arm Bonding

# Witness Patrol Redesign

> **Status**: Design pivoted from Christmas Ornament to linear patrol (Dec 2024)

## Original Problem

Witness needs to monitor and intervene on multiple polecats. Original design proposed "Christmas Ornament" pattern with dynamic arms per polecat and fanout gates.

## Design Pivot: Why Christmas Ornament Was Wrong

The Christmas Ornament pattern (dynamic mol-polecat-arm per worker) felt un-Gas-Town:

1. **Explicit state tracking**: Nudge counts, timestamps, per-polecat state
2. **Complex machinery**: Dynamic bonding, fanout gates, aggregation
3. **Against philosophy**: Gas Town prefers discovery over tracking, events over state

**Key insight**: With step-based polecat sessions (`gt mol step done` restarts session each step), polecats are either working a step or starting a step. "Nudge counts across sessions" becomes less meaningful.

## New Design: Linear Patrol + Task Tool Parallelism + Cleanup Wisps

### Patrol Shape (Deacon-style)

```
inbox-check -> process-cleanups -> check-refinery -> survey-workers -> context-check -> loop
```

No dynamic arms. No fanout gates. Linear and simple.

### Key Changes

| Aspect | Old (Christmas Ornament) | New (Linear Patrol) |
|--------|--------------------------|---------------------|
| Per-polecat inspection | mol-polecat-arm bonded dynamically | Task tool subagents within survey-workers |
| State tracking | Persistent nudge counts in handoff bead | Fresh observation each cycle (discover from beads timestamps) |
| Cleanup queue | Explicit list in patrol state | Cleanup wisps (finalizer pattern) |
| Parallelism | Molecule arms (fanout gate) | Task tool subagents |
| Aggregation | waits_for: all-children | Task tool returns |

### The Finalizer Pattern (Cleanup Wisps)

When POLECAT_DONE arrives, Witness creates a cleanup wisp:
```bash
bd create --wisp --title "cleanup:ace" --labels cleanup,polecat:ace
```

The wisp's existence IS the pending cleanup. Witness processes these in `process-cleanups` step:
- Verify git clean, issue closed, commits exist
- Kill session, remove worktree
- Burn the wisp

Failed cleanups? Leave wisp, retry next cycle. GC-style finalization.

### Task Tool Parallelism

Instead of molecule arms, use Claude's Task tool for parallel polecat inspection:

```markdown
## survey-workers step

For each polecat, launch a Task tool subagent:
- Capture tmux state
- Assess working/idle/error/done
- Check beads for step progress
- Decide and execute action (nudge/escalate/none)

Task tool handles parallelism. No molecule machinery needed.
```

## Implementation

- [x] Draft mol-witness-patrol-v2.formula.toml (linear patrol)
- [ ] Test new patrol formula
- [ ] Deprecate mol-polecat-arm
- [ ] Remove fanout gate dependency

## Files

- `.beads/formulas/mol-witness-patrol-v2.formula.toml` - New linear patrol
- `.beads/formulas/mol-witness-patrol.formula.toml` - Old Christmas Ornament (to deprecate)

## Success Criteria

- Witness patrols work with 3+ polecats using Task tool parallelism
- Cleanup wisps correctly track pending cleanups
- No persistent nudge state - fresh observation each cycle
- Simpler, more Gas Town-y design

gt polecat add should spawn with --dangerously-skip-permissions

When adding polecats via gt polecat add, the subsequent Claude session needs --dangerously-skip-permissions flag to run autonomously.

Currently:
- gt polecat add creates worktree
- tmux new-session spawns 'claude' without flags
- Polecat gets stuck at permission prompts

Needed:
- gt polecat add (or gt sling) should spawn with --dangerously-skip-permissions
- Or store a config in polecat worktree indicating autonomous mode

This is critical for swarm automation - polecats can't self-approve permissions.

Outpost error handling: Retry logic and resilience

## Overview

Error handling and retry logic for outpost operations.

## Error Types

```go
var (
    ErrOutpostUnreachable = errors.New("outpost unreachable")
    ErrWorkerSpawnFailed  = errors.New("worker spawn failed")
    ErrWorkerTimeout      = errors.New("worker timed out")
    ErrCostCapExceeded    = errors.New("cost cap exceeded")
    ErrAllOutpostsBusy    = errors.New("all outposts at capacity")
)
```

## Retry Policy

```go
type RetryPolicy struct {
    MaxAttempts     int
    InitialBackoff  time.Duration
    MaxBackoff      time.Duration
    BackoffFactor   float64
    RetryableErrors []error
}

func DefaultRetryPolicy() *RetryPolicy {
    return &RetryPolicy{
        MaxAttempts:    3,
        InitialBackoff: 1 * time.Second,
        MaxBackoff:     30 * time.Second,
        BackoffFactor:  2.0,
        RetryableErrors: []error{
            ErrOutpostUnreachable,
            ErrWorkerSpawnFailed,
        },
    }
}
```

## Retry Implementation

```go
func (m *OutpostManager) SpawnWithRetry(issue string, cfg WorkerConfig) (Worker, error) {
    var lastErr error
    backoff := m.retryPolicy.InitialBackoff

    for attempt := 0; attempt < m.retryPolicy.MaxAttempts; attempt++ {
        outpost := m.policy.SelectOutpost(issue, m.outposts)
        if outpost == nil {
            return nil, ErrAllOutpostsBusy
        }

        worker, err := outpost.Spawn(issue, cfg)
        if err == nil {
            return worker, nil
        }

        if !m.isRetryable(err) {
            return nil, err
        }

        lastErr = err
        time.Sleep(backoff)
        backoff = min(backoff * m.retryPolicy.BackoffFactor, m.retryPolicy.MaxBackoff)
    }

    return nil, fmt.Errorf("spawn failed after %d attempts: %w",
        m.retryPolicy.MaxAttempts, lastErr)
}
```

## Outpost Health Tracking

```go
type OutpostHealth struct {
    LastPing      time.Time
    LastError     error
    FailureCount  int
    CircuitBreaker bool  // If true, skip this outpost
}

func (m *OutpostManager) updateHealth(name string, err error) {
    // Track failures, open circuit breaker after N failures
    // Auto-reset after successful ping
}
```

## Config

```yaml
policy:
  retry:
    max_attempts: 3
    initial_backoff: 1s
    max_backoff: 30s

  circuit_breaker:
    failure_threshold: 5
    reset_timeout: 1m
```

## Files

- `internal/outpost/retry.go`
- `internal/outpost/health.go`

## Dependencies

Depends on: gt-9a2.3 (OutpostManager)
Can be done after basic outpost implementations work.

Patrol 20: Final cycle, all services healthy, handoff


Refinery not processing merge-requests - stale MRs accumulating

Discovered 15 stale merge-request issues in beads rig that were never processed by the refinery. These appear to be from polecat branches that completed work but the refinery didn't pick up the merge-requests.

Closed issues:
- bd-r06v, bd-bhg7, bd-754r, bd-fcl1, bd-3zzh
- bd-bijf, bd-5rj1, bd-kptp, bd-rdzk, bd-ibl9
- bd-gfo3, bd-aq3s, bd-x2bd, bd-s1pz, bd-h27p

Need to investigate:
1. Why refinery isn't picking up merge-requests
2. Whether the polecat branches have valid work to merge
3. Add monitoring/alerting for stale MRs


Integration test: simple file creation

Test task for polecat integration test (gt-7psb8).

Simple task: Create a file ~/gt/gastown/test-polecat-integration.txt with content 'Polecat integration test successful'.

This is an intentionally trivial task to verify the polecat → witness → refinery → merged flow works end-to-end.

Fanout gate: waits-for children aggregation

Formalize the fanout gate pattern where a step waits for all dynamically-bonded children.

## Current State

Formulas already use this pattern informally:

    step: aggregate
    waits_for: "all-children"

But it is not in the algebra spec or implemented in the cooker.

## Proposed Syntax

    step: aggregate
    needs: [survey-workers]
    waits-for: children-of(survey-workers)

Or simpler:

    step: aggregate
    needs: [survey-workers]
    waits-for: all-children

## Semantics

- Step cannot start until ALL children of the referenced step have completed
- Children are dynamically bonded via for-each (gt-8tmz.8)
- This is the "aggregation" half of the Christmas Ornament pattern
- If no children were bonded, the gate passes immediately

## Use Cases

**Witness Patrol:**
- survey-workers bonds N polecat-arms
- aggregate waits for all arms to complete
- Then proceeds to save-state

**Refinery Patrol:**
- Less common (sequential processing), but useful for parallel test runs

## Relationship to gate

This is a variant of gate where the condition is "all children complete" rather than
an arbitrary expression. Could be implemented as:

    gate:
      condition: "children-of(survey-workers).all(status == complete)"

But dedicated syntax is cleaner for this common pattern.

## Dependencies

- Depends on gt-8tmz.8 (for-each creates the children)
- Depends on gt-8tmz.4 (gate infrastructure)

Patrol #19


Aggregate arm results

Collect outcomes from all polecat inspection arms.

This is a **fanout gate** - it cannot proceed until ALL dynamically-bonded
polecat arms have completed their inspection cycles.

Once all arms complete, collect their outcomes:
- Actions taken per polecat (nudge, kill, escalate, none)
- Updated nudge counts
- Any errors or issues discovered

Build the consolidated state for save-state.


Day 3.7: Witness pings Deacon for second-order monitoring

Add second-order monitoring: Witnesses monitor the Deacon.

Problem: Who monitors the Deacon? If Deacon dies, the whole town stalls.

Solution:
1. Each Witness periodically sends a ping to Deacon during patrol:
   ```bash
   gt mail send deacon/ -s "WITNESS_PING" -m "{\"rig\": \"gastown\"}"
   ```

2. Deacon patrol (inbox-check) aggregates witness pings as health signals

3. If Witness doesn't get Deacon response for 2 cycles:
   - Escalate to Mayor: "Deacon unresponsive"
   - Mayor can restart Deacon via daemon

This creates overlapping patrols:
- Deacon monitors Witnesses/Refineries
- Witnesses monitor Deacon (collectively)
- Mayor is escalation target for both

Add to mol-witness-patrol after survey-workers step.

Phase verbs: pour and wisp commands

Implement the phase transition verbs:
- bd pour <proto> - instantiate as persistent mol
- bd wisp <proto> - instantiate as ephemeral wisp
- Update bd mol bond to inherit phase from target

These replace the current --wisp flag with cleaner verb semantics.


Move polecat pending tracking from Deacon to Witness

Problem: gt deacon pending handles polecat observation at the wrong level. Hierarchy should be Witness→polecats, Deacon→Witnesses.

Solution:
1. Add gt witness pending - shows pending polecats in this rig
2. Route POLECAT_STARTED mail to Witness (not just Deacon)
3. Deacon keeps backup role but does not directly manage polecats

Depends on gt-0yqqw (messaging infrastructure) for proper routing.


Computed range expansion (for-each over expressions)

Support for-each expansion over computed ranges, not just static lists:

for-each:
  var: move_num
  range: "1..2^{disks}"  # Computed at cook time

This enables formulas like Towers of Hanoi where the step count is a function of input variables. The range expression is evaluated during cooking.

Related: towers-of-hanoi.formula.yaml demonstrates the need.
Depends on: gt-8tmz.8 (Runtime dynamic expansion)


Add tmux hotkey (C-b f) for gt feed window

## Goal

Add a tmux hotkey (e.g., C-b f) that jumps to the activity feed window, creating it if it doesn't exist.

## Behavior

1. If 'feed' window exists in current session → switch to it
2. If 'feed' window doesn't exist → create it with `bd activity --follow`, then switch

## Implementation

Add to gt's tmux session configuration (similar to SetCrewCycleBindings):

```go
// C-b f → jump to feed window
tmux bind-key -T prefix f run-shell "gt feed --window"
```

The `gt feed --window` command already handles:
- Creating the window if missing
- Switching to it if exists
- Running `bd activity --follow` in the window

## Where to add

- `internal/tmux/tmux.go` - add SetFeedBinding() method
- Call it from session configuration (ConfigureGasTownSession or similar)

## Testing

1. In tmux: C-b f should open/switch to feed window
2. Feed window should show streaming activity
3. C-b n/p should still work to cycle back to other windows

Create activity aggregator

Component that connects to multiple rig beads daemons and merges their activity into a unified view. Polls GetMutations and GetWorkerStatus from each rig, groups by rig/worker. Handles connection failures gracefully.

BLOCKED BY (Beads rig):
- bd-gqxd: Enrich MutationEvent with title and assignee
- bd-l13p: Add GetWorkerStatus RPC endpoint
- bd-0oqz: Add GetMoleculeProgress RPC endpoint


Define Engineer as the Refinery agent role

Clarify the distinction:

- **Refinery** = place/module/directory/workspace
  - `<rig>/refinery/` directory structure
  - `gt refinery start/stop/status` commands
  - tmux session name: `refinery` or `<rig>-refinery`

- **Engineer** = role/agent who works in the Refinery
  - CLAUDE.md prompting: "You are an Engineer..."
  - Documentation: "The Engineer processes merge requests..."
  - Mail address: `<rig>/engineer` (or `<rig>/refinery`?)

Updates needed:
- Add Engineer role description to docs
- Update CLAUDE.md templates for refinery agents
- Keep `gt refinery` commands as-is (they manage the place)
- Internal code stays `internal/refinery/` (the module)

Future consideration: Multiple Engineers in one Refinery for parallel merge processing.


gt mq retry: retry a failed MR

Implement 'gt mq retry <id>' to retry a failed merge request.

Actions:
1. Verify MR exists and is in failed state (open with failure labels)
2. Remove failure labels (needs-rebase, needs-fix)
3. Reset to ready state
4. Optionally re-run immediately (--now flag)

Options:
- --now: immediately process (instead of waiting for Engineer loop)

Reference: docs/merge-queue-design.md#cli-commands


gt sling: auto-sync beads in new polecat worktrees

## Problem
`gt sling <bead> <rig>` could fail to pin because polecat worktree branches persisted and diverged from current state.

## Root Cause
- Polecat branches (`polecat/<name>`) were reused across runs
- Stale branches could diverge from main and beads-sync
- Branch reuse logic was complex with fallback behavior

## Solution Implemented
**Fresh unique branches per polecat run**

Instead of syncing beads (Options A/B/C), we changed the branch model:

1. **Unique timestamped branches**: Each polecat run creates `polecat/<name>-<timestamp>`
2. **No branch reuse**: Each spawn starts fresh from current HEAD
3. **Simplified code**: Removed branch existence checks and reset logic
4. **Garbage collection**: Added `gt polecat gc <rig>` to clean up old branches

### Why This Works
- Polecats already use beads redirect (`../../mayor/rig/.beads`)
- Mayor's beads are authoritative - polecats read from there
- Fresh branches ensure clean starting state
- Old branches are ephemeral (never pushed to origin)

### Files Changed
- `internal/polecat/manager.go`: Add/Recreate/CleanupStaleBranches
- `internal/git/git.go`: ListBranches helper
- `internal/cmd/polecat.go`: `gt polecat gc` command

### Commands Added
```
gt polecat gc <rig>           # Clean up stale branches
gt polecat gc <rig> --dry-run # Show what would be deleted
```

Daemon must delete LIFECYCLE messages after processing

## Problem

Crew workers were being killed every 5 minutes.

## Root Cause

Old stale LIFECYCLE messages from days ago were sitting in the deacon's inbox. The daemon's ProcessLifecycleRequests() was re-finding and re-processing them every 5-minute heartbeat cycle.

The closeMessage() function in lifecycle.go calls 'gt mail delete' but failures are silent - the message stays in the inbox and gets reprocessed on the next heartbeat.

## Fix Required

1. Ensure closeMessage() actually deletes the message
2. If delete fails, log the error AND mark the message as read so it's not reprocessed
3. Consider adding a 'processed' label or moving to a processed folder

## Files

- internal/daemon/lifecycle.go: closeMessage() function
- internal/daemon/lifecycle.go: ProcessLifecycleRequests() loop


LocalConnection: Local file/exec/tmux operations

LocalConnection implementation for local machine operations.

## Implementation

```go
type LocalConnection struct {
    tmux *Tmux
}

func NewLocalConnection() *LocalConnection

func (c *LocalConnection) Name() string { return "local" }
func (c *LocalConnection) IsLocal() bool { return true }
```

## File Operations

Direct passthrough to os package:
```go
func (c *LocalConnection) ReadFile(path string) ([]byte, error) {
    return os.ReadFile(path)
}
// etc.
```

## Command Execution

Uses exec.Command:
```go
func (c *LocalConnection) Exec(cmd string, args ...string) ([]byte, error) {
    return exec.Command(cmd, args...).Output()
}
```

## Tmux

Delegates to Tmux wrapper:
```go
func (c *LocalConnection) TmuxNewSession(name, dir string) error {
    return c.tmux.NewSession(name, dir)
}
```

## Notes

Straightforward implementation - this is the "baseline" connection that SSHConnection will mirror remotely.


Epic: Wisp Molecule Integration

## Vision

Integrate Beads wisp molecules into Gas Town. All orchestration work runs as wisp molecules - patrols, polecat workflows, batch operations. Only digests reach main beads.

## The Steam Engine Metaphor

```
Engine does work → generates steam
Steam wisps rise → execution trace
Steam condenses → digest (distillate)
Steam dissipates → cleaned up (burned)
```

## Architecture

```
Proto Molecules (templates)
    ↓ bd mol bond
Wisps (.beads-wisps/ or inline)
    ↓ bd mol squash + AI summary
Main Beads (digests only)
```

## Vocabulary

| Term | Meaning |
|------|---------|
| bond | Attach proto to work (creates wisps) |
| wisp | Temporary execution step (steam rising) |
| squash | Condense wisps into digest |
| burn | Destroy wisps without record |
| digest | Permanent condensed record (distillate) |

## Key Design Decisions

1. **Wisp location**: Per-rig or inline in main beads with wisp flag
2. **Summary generation**: Agent that did work generates summary (inversion of control)
3. **Squash timing**: Final step of molecule workflow, before signaling done
4. **Crash recovery**: Wisps persist, Witness detects stalls, new agent resumes
5. **Patrols**: Each cycle is fresh wisp molecule, squashed on completion

## Digest Contents

- Molecule type and instance ID
- Assignee, start/end times
- Source issue reference
- AI-generated summary
- Outcomes (issues closed, commits, branches)

## Integration Points

- gt rig init: Configure wisp storage
- gt spawn --molecule: Bond creates wisps
- gt prime: Show wisp molecule context
- Polecat CLAUDE.md: Summary + squash protocol
- gt doctor: Wisp health checks
- Deacon/Witness/Refinery: Patrol molecules

## Phases

Phase 1: Wisp setup infrastructure
Phase 2: Spawn integration
Phase 3: Completion flow (summary + squash)
Phase 4: Patrol integration
Phase 5: Documentation and polish


Merge execution: merge, test, push

Implement the actual merge execution.

Steps:
1. git checkout <mr.target>
2. git merge <mr.branch> --no-ff -m 'Merge <branch>: <title>'
3. If config.run_tests:
   - Run test_command (from config)
   - If failed: git reset --hard HEAD~1, return Failure(tests_failed)
4. git push origin <mr.target>
5. Return Success(merge_commit=HEAD)

Configuration:
- run_tests: bool (default true)
- test_command: string (default 'go test ./...')

Handle push failures with retry logic.

Activity feed improvements

Make the activity feed (gt feed) a first-class TUI experience using charmbracelet.

## Vision

A real-time dashboard showing all Gas Town activity with:
- Agent tree organized by role (mayor, witnesses, crew, polecats)
- Live event stream
- Vim-style navigation
- Filtering and search

## Architecture

Two-tier event system:
- ~/gt/.events.jsonl (raw, audit) - all events from gt, bd, agents
- Feed daemon curates → ~/gt/.feed.jsonl (user-facing) - filtered, deduped

TUI reads from curated feed for smooth UX.

gt spawn: Notify Deacon and Witness on polecat start

When gt spawn creates a polecat, it should mail both Deacon and Witness:

```
gt mail send <rig>/witness -s 'POLECAT_STARTED furiosa' -m 'Issue: gt-xxx'
gt mail send deacon/ -s 'POLECAT_STARTED gastown/furiosa' -m 'Issue: gt-xxx'
```

This enables:
- Witness to bond a lease to its patrol wisp
- Deacon to verify worker started (redundancy)
- Both to nudge if worker is idle at prompt

Part of the village self-monitoring architecture.

gt spawn pins mol-polecat-work

Enhance gt spawn to automatically pin mol-polecat-work to new polecats.

## Current Behavior

gt spawn --issue gt-xxx creates polecat with issue in mail but no molecule.

## New Behavior

gt spawn should:
1. Create fresh worktree (existing)
2. Initialize polecat beads (existing)
3. Bond mol-polecat-work with issue as variable
4. Pin the molecule to polecat hook
5. Create polecat session

## Molecule Bonding

```bash
bd mol bond mol-polecat-work --var issue_id=gt-xxx --var rig=gastown
```

Creates .beads/molecules/mol-polecat-work-<hash>.state.yaml

## Hook Pinning

```bash
bd pin mol-polecat-work-<hash> --for polecat/<name>
```

Creates .beads-wisp/hook-polecat-<name>.wisp.yaml pointing to molecule

## Files

- internal/spawn/spawn.go - Add mol-polecat-work bonding

MQ Submit: Notify Witness on MR submission

When `gt mq submit` is run, notify the Witness so it can verify the submission.

## Implementation

1. In mq_submit.go after successful MR creation:
   ```
   gt mail send <rig>/witness -s "LIFECYCLE: mr submitted" -m "
   Worker: <polecat>
   MR: <mr-id>
   Branch: <branch-name>
   Target: <target-branch>
   Action: Verify MR submission, help polecat if needed.
   "
   ```

2. This happens BEFORE the existing polecat auto-cleanup logic

## Acceptance
- MR submission sends notification to Witness
- Witness receives mail with all relevant details
- Works for both polecat and crew submissions


mol-polecat-work

Full polecat lifecycle from assignment to decommission.

This proto enables nondeterministic idempotence for polecat work.
A polecat that crashes after any step can restart, read its molecule state,
and continue from the last completed step. No work is lost.

Variables:
- {{issue}} - The source issue ID being worked on

Clean dead sessions

Clean dead sessions and orphaned state.

Run `gt doctor --fix` to handle all cleanup:

```bash
# Preview what needs cleaning
gt doctor -v

# Fix everything
gt doctor --fix
```

This handles:
- **orphan-sessions**: Kill orphaned tmux sessions (gt-* not matching valid patterns)
- **orphan-processes**: Kill orphaned Claude processes (no tmux parent)
- **wisp-gc**: Garbage collect abandoned wisps (>1h old)

All cleanup is handled by doctor checks - no need to run separate commands.


Witness tmux status: show polecat count under management

Add witness-specific status line showing:
- Number of polecats under management
- Active/idle status
- Maybe: last nudge time, blocked count

Implement in runWitnessStatusLine() in internal/cmd/statusline.go


Update gt doctor to check new config locations

Doctor should validate new structure:
- Check mayor/config.json exists and is valid
- Check settings/ exists for each rig
- Warn if old .gastown/ files still exist
- Offer --fix to migrate old locations to new


Add 'gt account add' command

Register new account: create config dir, spawn claude with CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR set, user completes /login, add entry to accounts.yaml.


bd: Add town-level activity signal in PersistentPreRun

Add activity signaling to beads so daemon can detect bd usage.

In cmd/bd/main.go PersistentPreRun, add a call to write activity to
the Gas Town daemon directory if running inside a Gas Town workspace.

The signal file is ~/gt/daemon/activity.json (or detected town root).

Format:
{
  "last_command": "bd create ...",
  "actor": "gastown/crew/max",
  "timestamp": "2025-12-26T19:30:00Z"
}

Should be best-effort (silent failure) to avoid breaking bd outside Gas Town.

bd mol search: Find formulas using GitHub API

Search for formulas across GitHub.

Usage: bd mol search <query>

Should:
- Use GitHub API to search repos with formula.json
- Filter by topics (e.g., beads-formula)
- Display results with descriptions and stars
- Support pagination


Optimize: Share stepMap across control flow operators

In ApplyControlFlow, both ApplyBranches and ApplyGates call buildStepMap() separately:

```go
func ApplyBranches(steps []*Step, compose *ComposeRules) ([]*Step, error) {
    stepMap := buildStepMap(steps)  // Called here
    ...
}

func ApplyGates(steps []*Step, compose *ComposeRules) ([]*Step, error) {
    stepMap := buildStepMap(steps)  // Called again here
    ...
}
```

This is inefficient for large formulas. Options:

1. Pass stepMap as a parameter to ApplyBranches/ApplyGates
2. Create an internal version that accepts stepMap, keep public API unchanged
3. Build once in ApplyControlFlow and pass down

Low priority since formula sizes are typically small.

Swarm learning: Beads database locality gap

## PGT Bug (GGT Design Already Correct)

Mayor created issues in `~/ai/mayor/rigs/beads/.beads/` but polecats use `~/ai/beads/.beads/`. Different databases = polecats can't see Mayor's beads.

**GGT Fix**: architecture.md already specifies:
- All agents use BEADS_DIR pointing to rig-level `.beads/`
- Lines 116-143: Beads Configuration for Multi-Agent
- Lines 573-586: Rig-Level Beads via BEADS_DIR

This is a PGT implementation gap, not a design issue. GGT spawn must set BEADS_DIR correctly.

Witness: close arm when polecat completes

When witness cleans up a polecat, close its mol-polecat-arm issue.

## Changes to witness/manager.go

In cleanupPolecat():
1. Get arm ID from handoffState.WorkerStates[name].ArmID
2. If exists, call: bd close {armID} --reason='polecat cleaned up'
3. Clear ArmID from handoff state

## Arm Close Reasons

- 'polecat cleaned up' - normal completion
- 'polecat killed - stuck' - killed due to inactivity
- 'polecat killed - escalated' - killed after Mayor escalation

## State Update

Polecat Arm (arm-toast)

Single polecat inspection and action cycle.

This molecule is bonded dynamically by mol-witness-patrol's survey-workers step.
Each polecat being monitored gets one arm that runs in parallel with other arms.

## Variables

| Variable | Required | Description |
|----------|----------|-------------|
| polecat_name | Yes | Name of the polecat to inspect |
| rig | Yes | Rig containing the polecat |

## Step: capture
Capture recent tmux output for toast.

```bash
tmux capture-pane -t gt-gastown-toast -p | tail -50
```

Record:
- Last activity timestamp (when was last tool call?)
- Visible errors or stack traces
- Completion indicators ("Done", "Finished", etc.)

## Step: assess
Categorize polecat state based on captured output.

States:
- **working**: Recent tool calls, active processing
- **idle**: At prompt, no recent activity
- **error**: Showing errors or stack traces
- **requesting_shutdown**: Sent LIFECYCLE/Shutdown mail
- **done**: Showing completion indicators

Calculate: minutes since last activity.
Needs: capture

## Step: load-history
Read nudge history for toast from patrol state.

```
nudge_count = state.nudges[toast].count
last_nudge_time = state.nudges[toast].timestamp
```

This data was loaded by the parent patrol's load-state step and passed
to the arm via the bonding context.
Needs: assess

## Step: decide
Apply the nudge matrix to determine action for toast.

| State | Idle Time | Nudge Count | Action |
|-------|-----------|-------------|--------|
| working | any | any | none |
| idle | <10min | any | none |
| idle | 10-15min | 0 | nudge-1 (gentle) |
| idle | 15-20min | 1 | nudge-2 (direct) |
| idle | 20+min | 2 | nudge-3 (final) |
| idle | any | 3 | escalate |
| error | any | any | assess-severity |
| requesting_shutdown | any | any | pre-kill-verify |
| done | any | any | pre-kill-verify |

Nudge text:
1. "How's progress? Need any help?"
2. "Please wrap up soon. What's blocking you?"
3. "Final check. Will escalate in 5 min if no response."

Record decision and rationale.
Needs: load-history

## Step: execute
Take the decided action for toast.

**nudge-N**:
```bash
tmux send-keys -t gt-gastown-toast "{{nudge_text}}" Enter
```

**pre-kill-verify**:
```bash
cd polecats/toast
git status                    # Must be clean
git log origin/main..HEAD     # Check for unpushed
bd show <assigned-issue>      # Verify closed/deferred
```
If clean: kill session, remove worktree, delete branch
If dirty: record failure, retry next cycle

**escalate**:
```bash
gt mail send mayor/ -s "Escalation: toast stuck" -m "..."
```

**none**: No action needed.

Record: action taken, result, updated nudge count.
Needs: decide

## Output

The arm completes with:
- action_taken: none | nudge-1 | nudge-2 | nudge-3 | killed | escalated
- result: success | failed | pending
- updated_state: New nudge count and timestamp for toast

This data feeds back to the parent patrol's aggregate step.

Add gate timeout tracking and notification

Implement timeout and notification logic for gates.

## Timeout Behavior
1. Gate created with timeout (e.g., 30m)
2. Deacon tracks elapsed time during patrol
3. If timeout reached:
   - Notify all waiters: 'Gate timed out'
   - Close gate with timeout reason
   - Waiter can retry, escalate, or fail gracefully

## Notification
- Use gt mail send to notify waiters
- Include gate ID, await type, and reason in message
- Support multiple waiters notification

## Moved from beads
Originally bd-ykqu. Gate notifications are Deacon's job in gastown.

Witness patrol: Add sibling-check for Refinery

Witness should check on Refinery health as part of patrol (village sibling watch).

## Implementation

2. Use `gt peek <rig>/refinery 20` to check Refinery output
3. Check Refinery queue status: `gt mq list <rig>`
4. Look for:
   - Refinery session alive
   - Queue processing (if items present)
   - No stuck MRs (same MR in_progress for too long)
5. If Refinery seems stuck:
   - Send nudge or status request
   - Consider escalation to Deacon

2. Auto-commit the customized CLAUDE.md locally
3. Store crew CLAUDE.md content elsewhere (e.g., .claude/CLAUDE.md)

mol-gastown-boot

Mayor bootstraps Gas Town via a verification-gated lifecycle molecule.

## Purpose
When Mayor executes "boot up gas town", this proto provides the workflow.
Each step has action + verification - steps stay open until outcome is confirmed.

## Key Principles
1. **Verification-gated steps** - Not "command ran" but "outcome confirmed"
2. **gt peek for verification** - Capture session output to detect stalls
3. **gt nudge for recovery** - Reliable message delivery to unstick agents
4. **Parallel where possible** - Witnesses and refineries can start in parallel
5. **Ephemeral execution** - Boot is a wisp, squashed to digest after completion

## Step Structure
Each step has Action/Verify/OnStall/OnFail sections.

## Execution
```bash
bd mol spawn mol-gastown-boot  # Create wisp
bd mol run <wisp-id>           # Execute
```

gt molecule current: Show what agent should be working on

Query what an agent identity is supposed to be working on via breadcrumb trail.

## Command
```bash
gt molecule current <identity>
gt molecule current gastown/furiosa
gt molecule current deacon
```

## Logic
1. Find handoff bead for identity (pinned bead titled "<role> Handoff")
2. Parse attachment field → molecule ID
3. If no attachment → "naked" (no active molecule)
4. If attached → load molecule, find current step:
   - bd ready --parent=<mol-id> → next unblocked step
   - Or first in_progress step

## Output
```
Identity: gastown/furiosa
Handoff:  gt-8v2 (Furiosa Handoff)
Molecule: gt-mol-abc (mol-polecat-work)
Progress: 3/8 steps complete
Current:  gt-mol-abc.4 - verify-tests

gt doctor: detect orphaned code on beads-sync branch

After merging beads-sync to main, some code changes can be lost if the merge conflict resolution drops files.

Add a doctor check that runs:
  git diff main..beads-sync -- '*.go' '*.md'

If there are differences in code files (not just .beads/), warn about potentially orphaned work.

Today's incident: Merge 96c773f lost mailbox.go and router.go changes from 5791752, requiring re-implementation.

Acceptance:
- gt doctor warns if beads-sync has unmerged code changes
- Excludes .beads/ directory (expected to differ)
- Shows file list of orphaned changes


Remove dead code: splitLines first loop, unused methods.

## Dead code locations

### 1. internal/cmd/polecat.go (lines 1093-1106)
splitLines function has unreachable first loop:
```go
func splitLines(s string) []string {
    var lines []string
    for _, line := range filepath.SplitList(s) {  // DEAD: wrong function
        ...
    }
    lines = nil  // Discards above
    for _, line := range strings.Split(s, "\n") {  // This is what runs
        lines = append(lines, line)
    }
    return lines
}
```
**Fix:** Remove first loop and reset.

### 2. internal/townlog/logger.go (lines 277-279)
```go
func (e Event) JSON() ([]byte, error) {
    return json.Marshal(e)
}
```
**Fix:** Remove unused method.

### 3. internal/lock/lock.go (line 27)
```go
ErrStaleLock = errors.New("stale lock detected")
```
**Fix:** Remove unused error variable.

### 4. internal/witness/types.go (line 19)

Day 2.7: Bootstrap creates agent beads

Bootstrap commands must create agent beads for ZFC compliance.

## Problem
- `gt install` doesn't create Deacon/Mayor agent beads
- `gt rig add` doesn't create Witness/Refinery agent beads
- `gt doctor` doesn't verify agent beads exist
- Current beads were created manually (not reproducible)

## Impact
Patrol ignition (gt-qpoxz) depends on agent beads existing.
Without bootstrap creating them, fresh installs will fail.

## Required
1. gt install: Create gt-deacon and gt-mayor beads
2. gt rig add: Create gt-witness-<rig> and gt-refinery-<rig> beads
3. gt doctor: Add agent-beads-exist check
4. gt doctor --fix: Create missing agent beads

Witness swarm landing protocol

Witness responsibilities for swarm landing cleanup.

## Trigger

Witness receives "swarm-landed" mail from Refinery containing:
- swarm_id
- merge_commit
- action: "cleanup"

## Landing Protocol

### Phase 1: Preflight
Verify all polecat sessions stopped:
- Check tmux for active sessions
- Kill any remaining sessions
- Wait for graceful shutdown

### Phase 2: Git Audit
For each polecat in swarm:
- Check for uncommitted changes
- Check for unpushed commits
- Check for stashes
- Classify as "beads-only" (safe) or "code at risk"
- If code at risk: escalate, abort landing

### Phase 3: Cleanup
For each polecat:
- Clear state entry (mark as idle)
- Delete inbox (or archive)
- Delete worker branch (local + remote)

### Phase 4: Final Report
- Update swarm state to "landed"
- File landing report bead
- Mail Mayor with summary

## Code at Risk Handling

If git audit finds code at risk:
1. Abort cleanup for that polecat
2. Mail Mayor with details
3. Human intervention required

Check Witness and Refinery health

Check Witness and Refinery health for each rig.

**ZFC Principle**: You (Claude) make the judgment call about what is "stuck" or
"unresponsive" - there are no hardcoded thresholds in Go. Read the signals,
consider context, and decide.

For each rig, run:
```bash
gt witness status <rig>
gt refinery status <rig>
```

**Signals to assess:**

| Component | Healthy Signals | Concerning Signals |
|-----------|-----------------|-------------------|
| Witness | State: running, recent activity | State: not running, no heartbeat |
| Refinery | State: running, queue processing | Queue stuck, merge failures |

**Tracking unresponsive cycles:**

Maintain in your patrol state (persisted across cycles):
```
health_state:
  <rig>:
    witness:
      unresponsive_cycles: 0
      last_seen_healthy: <timestamp>
    refinery:
      unresponsive_cycles: 0
      last_seen_healthy: <timestamp>
```

**Decision matrix** (you decide the thresholds based on context):

| Cycles Unresponsive | Suggested Action |
|---------------------|------------------|
| 1-2 | Note it, check again next cycle |
| 3-4 | Attempt restart: gt witness restart <rig> |
| 5+ | Escalate to Mayor with context |

**Restart commands:**
```bash
gt witness restart <rig>
gt refinery restart <rig>
```

**Escalation:**
```bash
gt mail send mayor/ -s "Health: <rig> <component> unresponsive" \
  -m "Component has been unresponsive for N cycles. Restart attempts failed.
      Last healthy: <timestamp>
      Error signals: <details>"
```

Reset unresponsive_cycles to 0 when component responds normally.

╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

## Why This Is Wrong

In Gas Town, nested .beads directories are **intentional and necessary**:
- Town level: /Users/stevey/gt/.beads (mail, town-level issues)
- Rig level: /Users/stevey/gt/gastown/.beads (gastown project issues)
- Worker level: polecats have their own beads in worktrees

These are **unrelated** beads instances for different scopes. They should never be consolidated.

## Expected Behavior

When bd finds a .beads directory, it should:
1. Use that directory (closest ancestor wins)
2. **Stop searching upward** - do not look for parent .beads directories
3. **No warning** about multiple databases

## Current Behavior

bd searches all the way up to root, finds all .beads directories, and warns about "multiple databases" even though they are separate, intentional instances.

## Fix

In the database discovery code, stop the upward search as soon as a .beads directory is found. The first .beads found is the one to use, and parent directories are out of scope.

## Note

This is a beads issue, filed here for tracking. Should be implemented in the beads codebase.

Formula (YAML DSL) --cook--> Proto (template beads) --pour/wisp--> Mol/Wisp (actual work)

- **Formulas**: YAML files in .beads/formulas/ that define workflow structure
- **Cook**: Transform formula to proto beads (with [template] label)
- **Proto**: Template beads with child beads for each step
- **Pour**: Proto to Mol (persistent liquid)
- **Wisp**: Proto to Wisp (ephemeral vapor)

## What's Wrong

We have legacy code and docs that use the OLD model where molecules are defined
in Go code as structs with embedded markdown, instead of as formula YAML cooked into proto beads.

---

## MAJOR ISSUES

### 1. Go Code: molecules_*.go (DELETE OR REWRITE)

**Files:**
- internal/beads/builtin_molecules.go
- internal/beads/molecules_patrol.go (19KB!)
- internal/beads/molecules_session.go (13KB)
- internal/beads/molecules_work.go (13KB)

**Problem:** Defines molecules as Go structs with embedded markdown descriptions.
This is completely wrong. Molecules should come from:
1. Formula YAML files cooked into proto beads
2. Proto beads with child beads for each step

**Used by:**
- install.go:seedBuiltinMolecules() - seeds during install
- catalog.go - includes in catalog
- molecule_list.go:ExportBuiltinMolecules()

**Fix:** Delete these files. Create formula YAML files instead. Update seeding
to cook formulas into protos.

### 2. Role Templates: Steps Listed in Markdown (REWRITE)

**Files:**
- prompts/roles/deacon.md - Lists 7 patrol steps
- prompts/roles/refinery.md - Lists 10 patrol steps
- prompts/roles/witness.md - Procedural "Heartbeat Protocol" (not molecule-based!)
- prompts/roles/polecat.md - References molecule steps

**Problem:** The steps are listed in the markdown template, but they should be
discovered from the proto beads via bd mol current. Templates should say
"check your hook, run your patrol" without duplicating step definitions.

**Fix:** Templates should describe HOW to run a patrol (propulsion principle,
bd mol current, bd close --continue), not WHAT the steps are.

### 3. Protos are Empty/Missing (CREATE)

**Current state:**
- gt-iep9 (mol-deacon-patrol) - Only 2 child steps
- gt-qflq (mol-witness-patrol) - EMPTY (0 children)
- mol-refinery-patrol - DOESN'T EXIST

**Fix:** Create formula YAML files for each patrol, cook them into proper protos
with child beads for each step.

---

## MEDIUM ISSUES

### 4. Command Confusion: spawn vs pour/wisp

**Files:**
- prompts/roles/deacon.md - Uses bd mol spawn ... --assignee=deacon
- prompts/roles/refinery.md - Uses bd mol spawn ... --wisp
- Various docs

**Problem:** The correct commands per molecular-chemistry.md:
- bd pour proto - Create persistent mol (liquid)
- bd wisp proto - Create ephemeral wisp (vapor)
- bd mol spawn - Old/deprecated

**Fix:** Update all references to use bd wisp for patrols, bd pour for
persistent work.

### 5. Command Confusion: gt mol vs bd mol

**Files:** Various docs and templates

**Problem:** Some use gt mol status, others bd mol status. Need to clarify:
- gt mol = Gas Town wrapper (if it exists, what does it add?)
- bd mol = Beads molecule commands (authoritative)

**Fix:** Audit and standardize. If gt mol is a thin wrapper, remove it.

### 6. polecat-wisp-architecture.md (UPDATE OR DELETE)

**File:** docs/polecat-wisp-architecture.md

**Problem:** References adding molecules to builtin_molecules.go - old model.

### 7. manager.go (UPDATE)

**File:** internal/rig/manager.go

**Problem:** Comment references "subset of builtin_molecules.go for seeding"

---

## IMPLEMENTATION ORDER

1. **Create formula YAML files** for the 3 patrol molecules:
   - mol-deacon-patrol.formula.yaml
   - mol-witness-patrol.formula.yaml
   - mol-refinery-patrol.formula.yaml

2. **Implement bd cook** if not already working to create protos from formulas

3. **Cook the formulas** into proto beads with proper child beads

4. **Update role templates** to use propulsion principle without step lists

5. **Delete molecules_*.go** once formulas are working

6. **Update install.go** to cook formulas instead of seeding Go structs

7. **Audit gt mol vs bd mol** and standardize

gt mail read: Support numeric indices for message ID

Allow 'gt mail read 1' to read the first message in inbox.

Current behavior requires full message ID like 'msg-abc123'.
Should support:
- Numeric index: 'gt mail read 1' reads first/newest message
- Partial ID match: 'gt mail read abc' matches 'msg-abc123'

This is a UX improvement - agents frequently type 'gt mail read 1'.


bd sync --from-main: fresh sync from main branch

## Summary

Add `--from-main` flag to `bd sync` to pull fresh beads state from main branch.

## Use Case

When starting a patrol or fresh session, agent wants clean beads state:
```bash
bd sync --from-main    # Pull latest from origin/main, ignore local changes
```

## Behavior

1. Fetch origin/main
2. Reset local .beads/ to match origin/main
3. Rebuild SQLite DB from fresh JSONL

Useful for polecats/crew starting work to avoid stale state.

Polecat auto-start: Claude doesn't process initial nudge

After gt sling spawns a polecat, the 'Work slung' message is sent to tmux but Claude sits idle at the prompt. The SessionStart hook doesn't fire because no user input was received.

Observed:
- gt sling successfully spawns polecat, creates worktree, starts Claude
- Sends 'Work slung: gt-xxx. Start working on it now...' to the pane
- Claude shows idle prompt 'Try refactor...' and doesn't process the message

Expected:
- Polecat should auto-start working on the slung issue

Root cause hypothesis:
- The nudge is sent as tmux send-keys which goes to the input line
- Claude needs Enter to be pressed to submit the prompt
- SessionStart hook only fires after first user message

Workaround:
- Send extra Enter after the nudge message
- Or use daemon's triggerPendingSpawns to send Enter after Claude is ready

func NewGit(workDir string) *Git

// Core operations
func (g *Git) Clone(url, dest string) error
func (g *Git) Checkout(ref string) error
func (g *Git) Fetch(remote string) error
func (g *Git) Pull(remote, branch string) error
func (g *Git) Push(remote, branch string, force bool) error

// Commit operations
func (g *Git) Add(paths ...string) error
func (g *Git) Commit(message string) error
func (g *Git) CommitAll(message string) error

// Query operations
func (g *Git) Status() (*GitStatus, error)
func (g *Git) CurrentBranch() (string, error)
func (g *Git) HasUncommittedChanges() (bool, error)
func (g *Git) RemoteURL(remote string) (string, error)

// Merge operations
func (g *Git) Merge(branch string) error
func (g *Git) Rebase(onto string) error
func (g *Git) AbortMerge() error
func (g *Git) AbortRebase() error
```

## Implementation

Shell out to git binary via exec.Command. Parse output where needed (Status, CurrentBranch).

## Error Handling

- Wrap git stderr in error messages
- Detect specific failures (merge conflict, auth failure, not a repo)
- Return structured errors for callers to handle

## Testing

- Use temp directories with real git repos
- Test both success and failure paths

Pinned bead naming convention for all roles

Establish consistent naming convention for pinned beads across all roles.

## Problem

Every role needs a pinned bead for molecule attachment, handoff state, and identity.
We need a consistent naming convention so gt tools can find the pinned bead for any role.

## Proposed Convention

  {role}.pinned                    - Singleton roles (deacon, mayor)
  {rig}-{role}.pinned              - Per-rig roles (witness, refinery)
  {rig}-{name}.pinned              - Named agents (polecats, crew)

Examples:
- deacon.pinned
- mayor.pinned
- gastown-witness.pinned
- gastown-refinery.pinned
- gastown-furiosa.pinned (polecat)
- gastown-max.pinned (crew)

## Storage Location

| Role | Pinned Bead Location |
|------|---------------------|
| Mayor | ~/gt/.beads/ (town level) |
| Deacon | ~/gt/.beads/ (town level) |
| Witness | {rig}/.beads/ (rig level) |
| Refinery | {rig}/.beads/ (rig level) |
| Polecat | {rig}/polecats/{name}/.beads/ |
| Crew | {rig}/crew/{name}/.beads/ |

## Why This Matters

1. Name recycling: Polecats reuse names so their pinned beads persist
2. Molecule attachment: gt mol bond needs to find the pinned bead
3. gt prime: Can show you are working on X from pinned bead
4. Crash recovery: Resume from pinned beads attached molecule

## Tasks

- Document naming convention in architecture.md
- Update gt prime to find pinned bead by convention
- Update gt mol bond to use conventional name
- Create pinned beads on role startup if missing
- Add gt pinned command to show/manage pinned beads

Mayor startup protocol prompting

Add startup protocol to Mayor CLAUDE.md template.

## On Session Start

1. Check for handoff:
   town inbox | grep "Session Handoff"

2. If handoff found:
   - Read it: town read <msg-id>
   - Process pending escalations (highest priority)
   - Check status of noted swarms
   - Verify rig health matches notes
   - Continue with documented next steps

3. If no handoff:
   town status     # Overall health
   town rigs       # Each rig
   bd ready        # Work items
   town inbox      # Any messages
   Build your own picture of current state.

4. After processing handoff:
   - Archive or delete the handoff message
   - You now own the current state

## Handoff Best Practices

- Be specific: 'Toast has merge conflict in auth/middleware.go' not 'Toast is stuck'
- Include context: Why decisions are pending, what you were thinking
- Prioritize next steps: What is most urgent
- Note time-sensitive items: Anything that might have changed since handoff

🤝 HANDOFF: Investigate beads-sync divergence (221 files)

## Context

gt doctor now detects orphaned code on beads-sync branch. Running it shows:

  beads-sync-orphans: 221 file(s) on beads-sync not in main

This is in the gastown repo (checking from crew/max).

## Background

- Earlier today we recovered orphaned mail migration code lost in merge 96c773f
- Recently simplified architecture: all workers use mayor/rig/.beads (redirects)
- This simplification may have caused beads-sync branch to diverge unexpectedly

## Investigation Steps

1. From crew/max run: git diff main..beads-sync --stat
2. Check if beads-sync should even exist anymore (was for multi-clone sync)
3. If obsolete with redirect architecture, consider deleting it
4. If it has legitimate changes, cherry-pick or merge to main

## Key Question

With all workers using mayor/rig/.beads via redirects, is beads-sync still needed?

## Commands

git log main..beads-sync --oneline | head -20
git diff main..beads-sync -- *.go | head -100


Town root .beads has schema mismatch with bd

The .beads directory at town root (/Users/stevey/gt/.beads) has an incompatible schema:

```
Error: failed to open database: failed to initialize schema: sqlite3: SQL logic error: no such column: thread_id
```

Meanwhile, gastown/.beads (symlinked to mayor/rig/.beads) works fine.

## Impact

- gt mail inbox fails at town root
- gt handoff sends mail to broken db
- Daemon can't check its inbox

## Options

1. Delete town root .beads/beads.db and let it recreate
2. Symlink town root .beads to gastown/.beads
3. Run schema migration on existing db

## Root Cause

Likely a beads version upgrade that added thread_id column, but the town root db was created before that.

Remove pinned field workaround after beads fix

## Summary

Once bd-phtv is fixed in beads, we can remove the workaround documentation and potentially simplify the pinToHook() implementation.

## Current Workaround

The handoff bead attachment mechanism (AttachMolecule) is used as the primary work assignment mechanism instead of the pinned field. This works correctly but adds complexity.

## Changes After Beads Fix

1. Remove the NOTE comment in internal/beads/beads.go:Pin() explaining the bug
2. Consider simplifying pinToHook() if the pinned field becomes reliable
3. Update gt-o3is to reference the fix

## Blocked By

This issue is blocked by external:beads:pinned-field-fix (bd-phtv).
When that capability is shipped, this issue becomes ready.

gt sling: use mail queue for patrol roles (witness, refinery, deacon)

When slinging work to patrol agents, queue via mail instead of replacing hook.

**Rationale:**
Patrol agents run continuous loops. Replacing their hook with discrete work breaks patrol continuity - when the task completes, the patrol stops.

**New behavior for patrol roles (witness, refinery, deacon):**
1. Check if patrol is running (hook has patrol molecule attached)
2. If patrol running:
   - Don't touch hook (patrol stays pinned)
   - Send work assignment mail
   - Print 'Queued for next patrol cycle'
3. If patrol NOT running:
   - Start default patrol for that role (mol-witness-patrol, mol-refinery-patrol, mol-deacon-patrol)
   - Send work assignment mail
   - Print 'Started patrol and queued work'

**New flags:**
- --urgent: Interrupt current patrol cycle, process this work immediately
- --replace: Explicitly terminate patrol and pin discrete work (break-glass)

**No change for:**
- Polecat, Crew, Mayor (discrete task agents - current behavior)

**Dependencies:**
- Patrol templates must have 'check inbox' step (verify/add)
- Need to know default patrol molecule for each role

Messaging infrastructure: lists, queues, channels

Multi-recipient and broadcast messaging for Gas Town.

## Phases

**Phase 1 - Foundation**: Config directory (gt-i6jvc)
**Phase 1 - Core**: list:, queue:, @group (requires agent-as-bead for @group)
**Phase 2 - Channels**: announce:, #channel, gt channel publish

## Addressing Syntax

| Prefix | Resolution | Storage | Claim? |
|--------|------------|---------|--------|
| `@group` | Dynamic (bead queries) | Fan-out (N copies) | No |
| `list:name` | Static config | Fan-out (N copies) | No |
| `queue:name` | Static config | Shared (1 copy) | Yes |
| `announce:name` | Static config | Shared (1 copy) | No |
| `#channel` | Dynamic (tmux) | None (ephemeral) | No |

## Alignment with Agent-as-Bead

@group resolution now uses agent bead queries:
- @rig/gastown → bd list --type=agent --rig=gastown
- @witnesses → bd list --type=agent --role_type=witness

This replaces the originally planned filesystem scanner (gt-xo05b, now closed).

## Independent Work

Config-based features (list:, queue:, announce:) can proceed without agent identity.
Only @group requires the agent schema from Pillar 1.

Deacon rounds molecule: the kernel execution loop

Define and implement mol-deacon-rounds - the molecule the Deacon executes each wake.

## Molecule Definition

```markdown
# mol-deacon-rounds

The Deacon kernel - executed on every wake cycle.

## Step: session-check
Check context budget. If low, cycle to fresh session.
Needs: (none - always runs first)

## Step: health-scan
Check health of all monitored agents:
- Mayor (gt-mayor session)
- Witnesses (gt-*-witness sessions)
- Refineries (gt-*-refinery sessions)
- Crew (gt-*-* sessions, lifecycle only)

Remediate unhealthy agents:
- Restart dead sessions
- Nudge stuck agents
- Escalate if remediation fails

Needs: session-check

## Step: lifecycle
Process pending lifecycle requests from mail:
- LIFECYCLE: <identity> requesting cycle
- LIFECYCLE: <identity> requesting restart
- LIFECYCLE: <identity> requesting shutdown

Needs: health-scan

## Step: plugins
Run due plugins:
1. Check scheduled plugins (cron-like)
2. Check event-triggered plugins (from mail events)
3. Check human-requested plugins (from mail)
4. Execute each, record outcomes

Needs: lifecycle

## Step: events
Process timer and event callbacks:
- TIMER: <identity> wake at <time>
- EVENT: <type> <payload>

Notify relevant agents or trigger actions.

Needs: plugins

## Step: complete
Finalize the cycle:
1. Update heartbeat.json
2. Clear/update keepalive.json
3. Log summary
4. Return to prompt (wait for next wake)

Needs: events
```

## Execution

The Deacon reads this molecule from its pinned bead and executes steps in order.
Each step:
1. Announces "Starting <step>"
2. Performs the step logic
3. Records outcome
4. Proceeds to next step

## Step Plugins

Each step can have inline plugins (additional attention):
```yaml
step: health-scan
  plugins:
    - advanced-diagnostics  # Run if basic scan finds issues
```

## Relation to bd mol

Uses the same molecule format as bd mol for polecats.
Deacon molecule is special: it's the kernel, not work.


Witness: auto-nuke polecats after merge

## Problem
Polecats linger after merge. Manual cleanup required.

## ZFC-Compliant Solution
Add step to `mol-witness-patrol.formula.toml`:

```toml
[[step]]
id = "cleanup-merged-polecats"
title = "Remove polecats after merge"
description = """
1. Check inbox for MERGED messages from refinery: gt mail inbox
2. For each MERGED notification:
   - Extract polecat name from message
   - Verify branch is actually gone: git branch -r | grep polecat/<name>
   - Kill session if running: tmux kill-session -t gt-<rig>-<polecat>
   - Remove worktree: gt polecat remove <rig>/<polecat> --force
   - Delete the MERGED mail
3. Log cleanup in state.json
"""
depends_on = ["check-ready-branches"]
```

## Why This Works
- Witness agent receives MERGED signal from refinery (mail)
- Agent verifies before acting (checks branch really gone)
- Agent runs gt/tmux commands
- No daemon code

## Files
- formulas/mol-witness-patrol.formula.toml

Engineer main loop: poll for ready merge-requests

Implement the Engineer's main processing loop.

Loop structure:
1. Query: bd ready --type=merge-request
2. If empty: sleep(poll_interval), continue
3. Select highest priority, oldest MR
4. Claim: bd update <id> --status=in_progress
5. Process (delegate to other subtasks)
6. Repeat

Configuration:
- poll_interval: from rig config (default 30s)
- max_concurrent: from rig config (default 1)

The loop should be interruptible and handle graceful shutdown.

Swarm completion detection and auto-close

Detect when all epic children are closed and auto-close the swarm molecule.

Core logic:
1. After any issue closes, check if it was part of a swarm
2. Query bd list --parent=<epic> --status=open
3. If empty (all closed), close the swarm molecule
4. Fire completion event for activity feed

Can be implemented as:
- Part of Witness patrol
- Or as a bd hook triggered on issue close
- Or as a gt swarm check command called periodically

Dependencies: gt-kc7yj.1 (gt swarm refactor)


Preflight molecule: verify baseline health before work

Before assigning work, verify baseline (main branch) is healthy.

**From VC**: Self-healing state machine (HEALTHY → SELF_HEALING → ESCALATED). ~200 lines.

**Gas Town implementation**: Preflight molecule or refinery feature:
```yaml
preflight:
  gates: [test, lint, build]
  on_failure: create-fix-issue
```

Run at session start. If baseline broken, file a P0 fix issue and work on that first.

**Value**: Self-healing baseline. Agents don't start from broken state.

**VC lesson**: Prevents cascading failures. Agent shouldn't start work on broken code.


Extract timing constants to constants package

Extract hardcoded timing values to named constants.

## Files to modify
- internal/constants/constants.go (add constants)
- internal/cmd/start.go (use constants)
- internal/tmux/tmux.go (use constants)

## Implementation
Add to constants.go:
```go
const (
    ShutdownNotifyDelay  = 500 * time.Millisecond
    ClaudeStartTimeout   = 15 * time.Second
    ShellReadyTimeout    = 5 * time.Second
    DefaultDebounceMs    = 100
    DefaultDisplayMs     = 5000
)
```

## Acceptance criteria
- [ ] 5 timing constants added to constants.go
- [ ] start.go uses ShutdownNotifyDelay, ClaudeStartTimeout, ShellReadyTimeout
- [ ] tmux.go uses DefaultDebounceMs, DefaultDisplayMs
- [ ] go build ./... passes
- [ ] go test ./... passes

Remove Go-based witness patrol - Claude session is the executor

## Problem

The witness has 1370 lines of Go code in internal/witness/manager.go that reimplements what mol-witness-patrol does:
- healthCheck() - polls polecats
- autoSpawnForReadyWork() - spawns polecats for ready issues
- handleStuckPolecat() - nudge logic
- processShutdownRequests() - cleanup logic
- verifyPolecatState() - git state checks

This is backwards. The molecule should drive the work, Claude should execute it.

## The Wrong Architecture (gt-59zd, now cancelled)

The cancelled gt-59zd tried to use molecules as 'tracking ledgers' for Go code:
- Go code runs patrol logic
- Molecule just records what Go did
- Duplicates work, adds complexity

## The Right Architecture

1. Witness runs as Claude session (via gt sling witness or tmux)
2. Claude executes mol-witness-patrol steps directly
3. No Go patrol loop needed
4. Molecule IS the executor, not bookkeeping

## Scope

1. Remove patrol-related functions from manager.go:
   - run(), checkAndProcess(), healthCheck()
   - handleStuckPolecat(), getNudgeCount(), recordNudge()
   - processShutdownRequests(), verifyPolecatState()
   - autoSpawnForReadyWork(), etc.

2. Keep session management functions:
   - Start(), Stop(), Status() - for starting/stopping Claude session
   - State persistence for session identity

3. Update gt witness commands to use Claude session model

4. Test that mol-witness-patrol executes correctly in Claude session

Witness session startup (gt witness start)

Implement gt witness start <rig>

Should:
1. Verify rig exists and has witness/ directory
2. Check for existing witness session (don't double-start)
3. Create tmux session: gt-<rig>-witness
4. Start Claude Code with --dangerously-skip-permissions
5. Send gt prime to load context
6. Send startup prompt

Similar pattern to refinery startup in internal/refinery/manager.go


Timer gate evaluation

Implement timer gate type. Format: timer:<duration> (5m, 1h, 24h). Deacon evaluates pending timer gates each patrol cycle. Gate closes when duration elapsed since creation. Simplest gate type - implement first.


Implement/document gt sling mechanism

Investigate and implement the gt sling command for attaching molecules to crew workers. Check if gt sling exists, design the flow (mail-based vs direct pin vs wisp spawn), implement in gastown CLI, integrate with bd mol/wisp/pin commands.

Design mol-ready-work patrol for crew workers

## Summary

Design and implement a protomolecule (mol-ready-work) that enables crew workers to autonomously work through backlogs when the overseer is away. This replaces the normal "await instructions" patrol step with productive backlog processing.

## Context

Crew workers like dave/joe are persistent, user-managed agents. Currently their patrol loop has an "await instructions" step that idles. We want an alternative: sling mol-ready-work at them and they crank through backlogs until:
- The overseer interrupts with new instructions
- Context fills up (request handoff)
- Backlogs are empty

## Backlogs (Priority Order)

1. **Open PRs** - Review/merge pending pull requests
2. **Untriaged GH issues** - New issues needing triage
3. **Open beads work** - bd ready items (unblocked issues)
4. **Triaged GH issues** - Bugs/features to implement

## Key Features

### ROI-Based Selection
Instead of strict priority, agent applies ROI heuristic:
- Size estimate (fits in remaining context?)
- Achievability (has all needed info?)
- Impact (priority + type weight)
- Pick highest-value achievable item

### Context Management
- Check token usage after each work item
- Request handoff before running out
- Leave clear handoff notes (mail to self)
- Next session picks up the patrol

### Patrol Loop Structure
```
orient → scan-backlogs → select-work → execute-work → check-context → (loop or handoff)
```

## Design Questions

1. How does gt sling work? Does it exist?
2. How does this interact with the normal crew patrol?
3. Should the molecule go in Gas Town catalog or per-rig?
4. How does bonding work for discovered work during execution?
5. Should this be a wisp (ephemeral) or mol (persistent)?

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] mol-ready-work protomolecule defined in catalog
- [ ] gt sling command implemented (or existing mechanism documented)
- [ ] Context-checking step works with agent token awareness
- [ ] Handoff mechanism integrates with gt mail
- [ ] Documentation for crew workers on using the patrol

Add unit tests for internal/lock package

attached_args: Lock package tests

Add comprehensive tests for the file locking package.

## Files to create
- internal/lock/lock_test.go

## Test cases to cover
1. Lock() acquires lock successfully
2. Lock() blocks when lock held by another
3. Unlock() releases lock
4. TryLock() returns immediately if locked
5. IsLocked() detects lock state
6. Lock file contains correct PID
7. Stale lock detection (if implemented)

## Acceptance criteria
- [ ] internal/lock/lock_test.go created
- [ ] At least 5 test functions
- [ ] Tests pass: go test ./internal/lock/...
- [ ] Coverage > 70%: go test -cover ./internal/lock/...


Remove spawn - use pour/wisp only (see bd-8y9t)

Remove bd mol spawn entirely from vocabulary.

Replace all references with:
- bd pour <proto> - Create persistent mol (liquid)
- bd wisp <proto> - Create ephemeral wisp (vapor)

'spawn' doesn't fit the chemistry metaphor. Two phase transitions (pour/wisp) are clearer than one command with flags.

See bd-XXX for Beads-side removal.


Daemon activity detection and rig nudging

Daemon monitors activity feed and nudges patrol agents when commands detected.

## Implementation

1. Daemon watches activity feed (or logs) for gt/bd command execution
2. Track per-rig last-activity timestamps
3. On activity in rig: nudge witness + refinery for that rig
4. Nudge clears their backoff → immediate poll

## Activity Sources

- gt commands (sling, mail, polecat, etc.)
- bd commands (create, update, close, sync, etc.)
- Maybe: file writes in rig directories

## Graceful Behavior

- If agent session not running: no-op (not an error)
- Activity detection is best-effort
- Backoff still works without this (just slower wake)

mol-gastown-boot: Mayor-driven town bootstrap

Mayor bootstraps Gas Town via a verification-gated lifecycle molecule.

## Vision

When user says "boot up gas town", Mayor slings `mol-gastown-boot` and executes it.
Each step has **action + verification** - steps stay open until outcome is confirmed.

## Key Principles

1. **No daemon-based timeouts** - Mayor keeps trying until verified
2. **Verification-gated steps** - Not "command ran" but "outcome confirmed"
3. **gt peek for verification** - Capture session output to detect stalls
4. **gt nudge for recovery** - Reliable message delivery to unstick agents
5. **Parallel where possible** - Witnesses can start in parallel
6. **Ephemeral execution** - Boot is a wisp, squashed to digest

## Proto Catalog

Town maintains a catalog of protos at `~/gt/molecules/`:

```
~/gt/molecules/
├── lifecycle/
│   ├── gastown-boot/       # Full town bootstrap
│   ├── rig-spinup/         # Add a rig at runtime

    ├── code-review/        # Pluggable review
    └── feature/            # Feature development
```

## mol-gastown-boot Structure

```
mol-gastown-boot (proto)
├── ensure-daemon       # Verify daemon running
├── ensure-deacon       # Start deacon, verify patrol active
├── ensure-witnesses    # Parallel: all rig witnesses

├── ensure-refineries   # Parallel: all rig refineries
│   ├── ensure-gastown-refinery
│   └── ensure-beads-refinery
└── verify-town-health  # Final gt status check
```

## Step Template

Each step in description includes action + verification:

```markdown
## Step: ensure-deacon

### Action
gt deacon start

### Verify
1. Session gt-deacon exists: `tmux has-session -t gt-deacon`
2. Not stalled: `gt peek deacon/` does NOT show "> Try"
3. Recent heartbeat: deacon/heartbeat.json < 2 min old

### On Stall
gt nudge deacon/ "Start patrol."
Wait 30s, re-verify.

### On Fail
Log error, continue to next step (town can run with degraded deacon)
```

## Event-Triggered Lifecycle

Beyond manual slinging, events can trigger lifecycle wisps:

| Event | Triggers |
|-------|----------|
| `gt town start` | mol-gastown-boot wisp |
| `gt rig add <name>` | mol-rig-spinup wisp |
| `gt rig remove <name>` | mol-rig-spindown wisp |
| Agent crash detected | mol-agent-restart wisp |

## Parameterization (Future)

For rig-spinup/spindown, need to pass rig name:

```bash
gt sling rig-spinup mayor/ --param rig=newproject
```

Molecule steps interpolate `${rig}` in their descriptions.

Speed up test suite

Tests are running slow during MQ processing. Investigate and optimize:
- Profile test execution time
- Look for slow tests (network, file I/O, sleeps)
- Consider parallel test execution
- Cache expensive setup where possible


mol-witness-patrol

Per-rig worker monitor patrol loop using the Christmas Ornament pattern.

The Witness is the Pit Boss for your rig. You watch polecats, nudge them toward
completion, verify clean git state before kills, and escalate stuck workers.

**You do NOT do implementation work.** Your job is oversight, not coding.

This molecule uses dynamic bonding to spawn mol-polecat-arm for each worker,
enabling parallel inspection with a fanout gate for aggregation.

    RigName     string
    EpicID      string      // beads epic tracking this swarm
    BaseCommit  string      // git SHA all workers branch from
    Integration string      // integration branch name
    State       SwarmState
    CreatedAt   time.Time
    Workers     []string    // polecat names assigned
}

// SwarmTask represents a single task in the swarm (maps to beads issue)
type SwarmTask struct {

    Outpost() string
    Status() WorkerStatus  // idle, working, done, failed
    Issue() string
    Attach() error         // for interactive outposts
    Logs() (io.Reader, error)
    Stop() error
}

type WorkerConfig struct {
    RigPath    string
    BeadsDir   string
    GitBranch  string
    Context    map[string]string  // hints for worker
}
```

## Files

- `internal/outpost/outpost.go` - Outpost interface
- `internal/outpost/worker.go` - Worker interface
- `internal/outpost/config.go` - WorkerConfig, OutpostType

4. **SDK** (gt-ihzqr): Developer tooling (Forge, Lab, Validator)
5. **Mol Mall** (gt-vm85o): Package registry for distribution

## Design Principles
