Update architecture.md: Engineer role and Beads merge queue

Update docs/architecture.md with recent design decisions:

1. Agent table: Change "Refinery" role to "Engineer"
   - Refinery = place/module/directory
   - Engineer = role (agent that works in the Refinery)

2. Merge Queue section: Document Beads-native model
   - MRs are beads issues with --type=merge-request
   - gt mq commands (submit, list, next, process, reorder)
   - Ordering via depends-on links

3. CLI section: Add gt mq commands

4. Key Design Decisions: Add decisions for:
   - #15: Merge Queue in Beads
   - #16: Engineer role (distinct from Refinery place)
   - #17: Session restart protocol for Engineer


Outpost/Worker interfaces: Core abstractions for remote compute

## Overview

Define the core interfaces that all outpost types implement.

## Interfaces

```go
type OutpostType string
const (
    OutpostLocal    OutpostType = "local"
    OutpostSSH      OutpostType = "ssh"
    OutpostCloudRun OutpostType = "cloudrun"
)

type Outpost interface {
    Name() string
    Type() OutpostType
    MaxWorkers() int
    ActiveWorkers() int
    Spawn(issue string, config WorkerConfig) (Worker, error)
    Workers() []Worker
    Ping() error
    SendMail(worker string, msg Message) error  // optional
}

type Worker interface {
    ID() string
    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

## Notes

This is the foundation for all federation work. Keep interfaces minimal - we can extend later.


gt crew at: auto-prime when exec'ing Claude in-session

When running 'gt crew at <name>' from inside the target session, we exec Claude directly. But this means we can't send 'gt prime' afterward since we ARE the process.

Possible solutions:
1. Claude startup hook that runs gt prime
2. Pass prompt as argument to claude CLI
3. Wrapper script approach

Related: crew resume prompt also can't be sent in this path.


bd create --dedup: semantic deduplication before issue creation

Before creating issue, check for semantic duplicates using AI similarity.

**From VC**: internal/deduplication/ - AI-powered batch comparison. ~300 lines.
VC had issue pollution problem: 438 issues with ~350+ spam because no early dedup.

**Gas Town implementation**: CLI flag on bd create:
```bash
bd create --dedup --title="Fix auth bug" --description="..."
```

Checks recent issues (7-day window) with AI similarity. If confidence >0.85, warns or blocks.

**Value**: Prevents pollution from parallel workers discovering same issues.

**VC lesson**: 115 issues filed in single day (Nov 2) because supervisor over-discovered without dedup. Rate limiting + dedup are essential.


Phase 3.1: Summary generation protocol

Define how agents generate summaries for squash.

## The Problem

Beads doesn't make AI calls (inversion of control). Gas Town agents must:
1. Generate their own summary before calling squash
2. Pass summary to bd squash command

## Summary Template

```
Task: <source issue title>
Action: <what was done - fix/implement/refactor/etc>
Outcome: <result - tests pass, committed, needs follow-up, etc>
Details: <1-2 sentences of specifics if needed>
```

## Example

```
Task: Fix lifecycle parser matching bug (gt-rixa)
Action: Reordered conditional checks in parseLifecycleRequest
Outcome: Tests passing, committed to polecat/furiosa
Details: The 'cycle' keyword was matching 'lifecycle:' prefix. Now checks restart/shutdown first, uses word boundary for cycle.
```

## Command

```bash
bd squash eph-abc123 --summary "Task: Fix lifecycle parser..."
```

Swarm learning: Refinery merge queue automation

Manually merging 15 polecat branches was painful and error-prone. Refinery should automate: detect completed work, run tests, merge to main, handle conflicts. This is core Refinery value prop.


gt mq list: doesn't show submitted MRs

After submitting MRs with gt mq submit, gt mq list gastown shows empty queue.

## Reproduction
1. gt mq submit --issue gt-h5n.5 --branch polecat/Scabrous
2. gt mq list gastown → (empty)
3. bd list --type=merge-request → shows the MR

## Expected
gt mq list should show submitted MRs

## MR example
gt-ts4u has rig: gastown in description, type=merge-request, status=open


gt mail inbox doesn't find crew worker mail - identity mismatch

## Problem

Crew workers don't see their handoff messages when running `gt mail inbox` from their working directory.

## Root Cause

gt derives identity from cwd path, but crew workers have a different path structure:
- **cwd**: `/Users/stevey/gt/beads/crew/dave`
- **gt derives**: `beads/crew/dave` (wrong)
- **should be**: `beads/dave` (crew workers use `rig/name` format)

Messages sent to `beads/dave` don't show up because gt is looking for `beads/crew/dave`.

## Workaround

Use explicit identity flag:
```bash
gt mail inbox --identity "beads/dave"
```

## Fix

Identity detection in gt should handle crew/ subdirectory:
- Path `<rig>/crew/<name>` should derive identity as `<rig>/<name>`
- This matches how polecats work: `<rig>/polecats/<name>` → `<rig>/<name>`

## Affected

All crew workers in all rigs.


gt spawn: add --polecat flag for explicit worker selection

Currently gt spawn requires positional arg format:
```
gt spawn gastown/Angharad --issue gt-xyz
```

But I tried the more intuitive flag form:
```
gt spawn --issue gt-xyz --polecat Angharad
```

This failed with 'unknown flag: --polecat'.

The flag form is more discoverable and consistent with other commands. Add --polecat flag as alternative to positional arg.


gt rig reset: clear stale mail on reset/land

## Problem

When resetting or landing a rig/town, stale mail messages can confuse agents on startup. Old handoff messages, daemon notifications, and inter-agent mail should be cleaned up as part of reset.

## Current State

- `gt rig reset` exists but doesn't clear mail
- Stale messages accumulate (e.g., daemon SHUTDOWN messages)
- Agents may read outdated context on startup

## Proposed Behavior

`gt rig reset` and `gt town reset` should:
1. Close all open messages (`--type=message`) in the relevant beads
2. Optionally preserve pinned handoff beads (clear content, keep bead)
3. Log what was cleaned up

```bash
gt rig reset gastown          # Clears gastown mail
gt rig reset gastown --mail   # Only clear mail, keep other state
gt town reset                 # Clears all town-level mail
gt town reset --all           # Clears mail in all rigs too
```

## Implementation

1. Query `bd list --type=message --status=open`
2. Close each with reason 'Cleared during reset'
3. For pinned handoffs: `bd update <id> --description=''` instead of close


Digest: mol-deacon-patrol

Old test patrol cycle - cleanup


Swarm learning: Spawn should auto-notify polecats

town spawn assigns issues but doesn't notify polecats. Required separate 'town session send' to inject prompts. This should be one atomic operation - spawn assigns AND pokes the polecat to start working.


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.

Refinery gates: test/lint/build before merge

Before merging polecat work to main, run configurable quality gates.

**From VC**: internal/gates/ - parallel execution with timeout, any failure = overall failure.

**Gas Town implementation**: Refinery config with gate commands:
```yaml
gates:
  test:
    cmd: go test ./...
    timeout: 5m
  lint:
    cmd: golangci-lint run
    timeout: 2m
  build:
    cmd: go build ./...
    timeout: 3m
parallel: true
```

If gates fail, don't merge. Polecat can iterate and retry.

**Value**: Prevents broken code from reaching main. VC had 90.9% gate pass rate.

**VC complexity**: ~200 lines Go
**Gas Town complexity**: ~10 lines YAML
