mayor db353c247b feat: implement priming subsystem improvements
Phase 1 of dynamic priming subsystem:

1. PRIME.md provisioning for all workers (hq-5z76w, hq-ukjrr Part A)
   - Added ProvisionPrimeMD to beads package with Gas Town context template
   - Provision at rig level in AddRig() so all workers inherit it
   - Added fallback provisioning in crew and polecat managers
   - Created PRIME.md for existing rigs

2. Post-handoff detection to prevent handoff loop bug (hq-ukjrr Part B)
   - Added FileHandoffMarker constant (.runtime/handoff_to_successor)
   - gt handoff writes marker before respawn
   - gt prime detects marker and outputs "HANDOFF COMPLETE" warning
   - Marker cleared after detection to prevent duplicate warnings

3. Priming health checks for gt doctor (hq-5scnt)
   - New priming_check.go validates priming subsystem configuration
   - Checks: SessionStart hook, gt prime command, PRIME.md presence
   - Warns if CLAUDE.md is too large (should be bootstrap pointer)
   - Fixable: provisions missing PRIME.md files

This ensures crew workers get Gas Town context (GUPP, hooks, propulsion)
even if the gt prime hook fails, via bd prime fallback.

Use: "handoff [bead-or-role]",
GroupID: GroupWork,
Short: "Hand off to a fresh session, work continues from hook",
Long: `End watch. Hand off to a fresh agent session.
This is the canonical way to end any agent session. It handles all roles:
- Mayor, Crew, Witness, Refinery, Deacon: Respawns with fresh Claude instance
- Polecats: Calls 'gt done --status DEFERRED' (Witness handles lifecycle)
When run without arguments, hands off the current session.
When given a bead ID (gt-xxx, hq-xxx), hooks that work first, then restarts.
When given a role name, hands off that role's session (and switches to it).
Examples:
gt handoff # Hand off current session
gt handoff gt-abc # Hook bead, then restart
gt handoff gt-abc -s "Fix it" # Hook with context, then restart
gt handoff -s "Context" -m "Notes" # Hand off with custom message
gt handoff -c # Collect state into handoff message
gt handoff crew # Hand off crew session
gt handoff mayor # Hand off mayor session
The --collect (-c) flag gathers current state (hooked work, inbox, ready beads,
in-progress items) and includes it in the handoff mail. This provides context
for the next session without manual summarization.
Any molecule on the hook will be auto-continued by the new session.
The SessionStart hook runs 'gt prime' to restore context.`,
