gastown/crew/joe 189db8a80e Redesign gt seance: ZFC-compliant literal seance with predecessors (gt-7qvd7)
Major redesign based on design review:

1. REMOVED: Claude Code internal parsing (ZFC violation)
   - Deleted internal/claude/sessions.go (parsed ~/.claude/projects/)
   - This coupled us to Claude Code's undocumented internal format

2. ADDED: Event-based session discovery
   - gt prime now emits session_start events to ~/gt/.events.jsonl
   - Events include role, session_id, topic, cwd
   - Discovery reads our own event stream (ZFC-compliant)

3. ADDED: --talk flag for actual seances
   - gt seance --talk <session-id> spawns: claude --fork-session --resume <id>
   - --fork-session creates a new session (read-only, no grave disturbance)
   - You literally talk to your predecessor: "Where did you put X?"

4. ADDED: One-shot prompt mode
   - gt seance --talk <id> -p "Where is the config?"
   - Uses claude --print for quick questions

The name "seance" is now literal - you commune with the dead (past sessions).

Short: "Talk to your predecessor sessions",
Long: `Seance lets you literally talk to predecessor sessions.
"Where did you put the stuff you left for me?" - The #1 handoff question.
Instead of parsing logs, seance spawns a Claude subprocess that resumes
a predecessor session with full context. You can ask questions directly:
- "Why did you make this decision?"
- "Where were you stuck?"
- "What did you try that didn't work?"
DISCOVERY:
gt seance # List recent sessions from events
gt seance --role crew # Filter by role type
gt seance --rig gastown # Filter by rig
gt seance --recent 10 # Last N sessions
THE SEANCE (talk to predecessor):
gt seance --talk <session-id> # Interactive conversation
gt seance --talk <id> -p "Where is X?" # One-shot question
The --talk flag spawns: claude --fork-session --resume <id>
This loads the predecessor's full context without modifying their session.
Sessions are discovered from:
1. Events emitted by SessionStart hooks (~/gt/.events.jsonl)
2. The [GAS TOWN] beacon makes sessions searchable in /resume`,
