* feat: Add automatic orphaned claude process cleanup
Claude Code's Task tool spawns subagent processes that sometimes don't clean up
properly after completion. These accumulate and consume significant memory
(observed: 17 processes using ~6GB RAM).
This change adds automatic cleanup in two places:
1. **Deacon patrol** (primary): New patrol step "orphan-process-cleanup" runs
`gt deacon cleanup-orphans` early in each cycle. More responsive (~30s).
2. **Daemon heartbeat** (fallback): Runs cleanup every 3 minutes as safety net
when deacon is down.
Detection uses TTY column - processes with TTY "?" have no controlling terminal.
This is safe because:
- Processes in terminals (user sessions) have a TTY like "pts/0" - untouched
- Only kills processes with no controlling terminal
- Orphaned subagents are children of tmux server with no TTY
New files:
- internal/util/orphan.go: FindOrphanedClaudeProcesses, CleanupOrphanedClaudeProcesses
- internal/util/orphan_test.go: Tests for orphan detection
New command:
- `gt deacon cleanup-orphans`: Manual/patrol-triggered cleanup
Fixes#587

* fix(orphan): add Windows build tag and minimum age check
Addresses review feedback on PR #588:
1. Add //go:build !windows to orphan.go and orphan_test.go
- The code uses Unix-specific syscalls (SIGTERM, ESRCH) and
ps command options that don't exist on Windows
2. Add minimum age check (60 seconds) to prevent false positives
- Prevents race conditions with newly spawned subagents
- Addresses reviewer concern about cron/systemd processes
- Uses portable etime format instead of Linux-only etimes
3. Add parseEtime helper with comprehensive tests
- Parses [[DD-]HH:]MM:SS format (works on both Linux and macOS)
- etimes (seconds) is Linux-specific, etime is portable

* fix(orphan): add proper SIGTERM→SIGKILL escalation with state tracking
Previous approach used process age which doesn't work: a Task subagent
runs without TTY from birth, so a long-running legitimate subagent that
later fails to exit would be immediately SIGKILLed without trying SIGTERM.
New approach uses a state file to track signal history:
1. First encounter → SIGTERM, record PID + timestamp in state file
2. Next cycle (after 60s grace period) → if still alive, SIGKILL
3. Next cycle → if survived SIGKILL, log as unkillable and remove
State file: $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gastown-orphan-state (or /tmp/)
Format: "<pid> <signal> <unix_timestamp>" per line
The state file is automatically cleaned up:
- Dead processes removed on load
- Unkillable processes removed after logging
Also updates callers to use new CleanupResult type which includes
the signal sent (SIGTERM, SIGKILL, or UNKILLABLE).
