Steve Yegge 9509afa6b1 feat(nudge): Add gt nudge command for reliable Claude session messaging
Encapsulates tmux send-keys with: literal mode, 500ms debounce, separate Enter.
Tested and reliable. Updates spawn.go to use NudgeSession.

Short: "Spawn a polecat with work assignment",
Long: `Spawn a polecat with a work assignment.
Assigns an issue or task to a polecat and starts a session. If no polecat
is specified, auto-selects an idle polecat in the rig.
When --molecule is specified, the molecule is first instantiated on the parent
issue (creating child steps), then the polecat is spawned on the first ready step.
Examples:
gt spawn gastown/Toast --issue gt-abc
gt spawn gastown --issue gt-def # auto-select polecat
gt spawn gastown/Nux -m "Fix the tests" # free-form task
gt spawn gastown/Capable --issue gt-xyz --create # create if missing
# Flag-based selection (rig inferred from current directory):
gt spawn --issue gt-xyz --polecat Angharad
gt spawn --issue gt-abc --rig gastown --polecat Toast
# With molecule workflow:
gt spawn --issue gt-abc --molecule mol-engineer-box`,
