Summary

  • Add gt formula format command that converts single-line strings with \n escapes to proper TOML multi-line strings
  • Makes PR diffs for formula files readable (addresses the issue seen in PR fix(formulas): witness patrol deacon check for town-level service #561)
  • Includes --check, --write, and --diff flags
  • Property-based testing with pgregory.net/rapid ensures 100% round-trip accuracy
  • PostToolUse hook auto-formats .formula.toml files after Edit/Write operations

Test plan

  • All unit tests pass
  • Property-based tests pass (100 iterations for round-trip, idempotency, non-string preservation)
  • gofmt and go vet pass
  • Manual test: gt formula format internal/formula/formulas/mol-witness-patrol.formula.toml produces valid TOML
  • Test hook by editing a .formula.toml file in Claude Code

feat: add gt ps and gt cleanup commands for orphan process management
f3425f5 
Implements two new commands for managing Gas Town processes:

1. gt ps - List all tmux sessions with process information
   - Shows session names, status (alive/dead), commands, PIDs
   - Displays work-on-hook status for polecats
   - Supports --json and --verbose flags
   - Highlights Gas Town sessions

2. gt cleanup - Manage orphaned processes and sessions
   - cleanup orphans: Find work assigned to dead agents
   - cleanup sessions: Clean up dead/zombie tmux sessions
   - cleanup stale: Clean up stale polecats (wraps gt polecat stale)
   - Supports --dry-run flag for safe inspection

Both commands integrate with existing daemon orphan detection logic
and provide manual inspection/triggering of cleanup operations.

fix(tests): restore skipped beads tests that depend on bd CLI fix
aceaf33 
Revert beads_test.go changes from contrib/process-management that
removed t.Skip() from tests documenting a bd CLI 0.47.2 bug. The
tests cannot pass until the bd CLI issue is resolved, so they need
to remain skipped.

fix(test): make ps/cleanup tests cross-platform
70bbcb6 
Instead of skipping tests on Windows, provide Windows batch script
equivalents for the mock tmux, bd, pgrep, and gt commands.

Update writeScript() helper to accept both Unix and Windows scripts
and write the appropriate one based on runtime.GOOS.

fix(test): skip complex tmux mock tests on Windows
1b665b4 
The TestRunPSJSONIncludesAgentDetails and TestCleanupOrphansDryRunReports
tests require complex tmux mocking with argument parsing and loops that
don't translate well to Windows batch scripts. Skip these on Windows
while keeping simpler tests cross-platform.

feat(formula): add format command for readable TOML diffs
0c83920 
Add `gt formula format` command that converts single-line strings with
\n escapes to proper TOML multi-line strings, making PR diffs readable.

Features:
- --check: Exit 1 if formatting needed (for CI)
- --write: Modify files in-place
- --diff: Show unified diff of changes

Includes property-based testing with pgregory.net/rapid for 100%
round-trip accuracy on arbitrary valid strings.

Also adds PostToolUse hook to auto-format .formula.toml files after
Edit/Write operations.

fix(beads): suppress redirect warnings via WorkDir-based detection
2875864 
Add WorkDir field to AgentEnvConfig that enables automatic detection of
beads redirects. When a redirect file exists in WorkDir/.beads/redirect,
BEADS_SYNC_BRANCH is set to "" to suppress the "Redirect active...
skipping sync-branch operations" warning.

This consolidates redirect detection into internal/config/env.go,
eliminating the need for callers to import the beads package or
manually check for redirects. Callsites simply pass their working
directory and the config package handles the rest.

The fix only activates when a redirect is actually present, avoiding
false positives for standalone crew/polecat workspaces without redirects.

- GHClient interface with GetPRChecks and GetPRReviews methods
- RealGHClient implementation using actual gh CLI
- StubGHClient for testing with configurable responses

feat(stack): add gt stack command for PR dependency management
81e9b7a 
Add CLI commands to manage stacked PR dependencies:
- gt stack set <base-branch>: Register current branch as depending on another
- gt stack list: Show the PR dependency DAG with status
- gt stack sync: Rebase all dependent PRs when base updates
- gt stack clear: Remove dependency tracking for current branch

Changes:
- Add DependsOn field to MRFields for tracking PR dependencies
- Create internal/cmd/pr_stack.go with stack subcommands
- Wire up DAGOrchestrator for automated rebase coordination

This enables proper stacked PR workflows where:
1. PRs can declare dependencies on other PRs
2. The refinery can merge in correct order
3. Rebases cascade automatically when base branches update

feat(refinery): wire up automatic DAG integration for stacked PRs
8895347 
- Engineer now initializes DAGOrchestrator and loads DAG state
- ListReadyMRs filters out MRs whose dependencies haven't merged
- HandleMRInfoSuccess notifies DAG when branch merges, retargeting dependents
- mq_submit auto-registers branches in DAG with target-based dependencies
- TestRepo now uses 'main' as default branch for consistent testing

Adds comprehensive tests for:
- Dependency filtering logic (blocks MRs with unmerged deps)
- Merge notification cascade (retargets and signals dependents)
- Auto-registration logic (target determines dependency)
- MRFields DependsOn parsing integration

- Setup command execution from manifest

The manifest enables one-liner rig installation with automatic
crew workspace creation and proper remote configuration.

Thanks for the extensive work here, @easel! There's clearly a lot of thought and effort in this branch — the formula format command, epic workflow, stack management, DAG tracking, and more.

Unfortunately this PR has accumulated many unrelated features onto a single branch (37 commits across 114 files covering 7+ distinct features), which makes it very difficult to review, test, or merge safely. The codebase has also evolved significantly since January, so most of these changes would have substantial merge conflicts with current main.

We're closing this for now, but if you feel any of these features are still relevant, we'd welcome them as individual, focused PRs against the latest main:

  • gt formula format — the core feature described in this PR. Could be a clean, self-contained PR.
  • gt ps / gt cleanup — some of this functionality now exists upstream (cleanup.go), but there may be gaps worth filling.
  • gt epic — interesting concept that would benefit from an issue discussion first to align on the design.
  • gt stack / Refinery DAG tracking — significant architectural additions that would need design discussion.
  • Rig manifest support — would also benefit from an issue to discuss the design.

Each of these would be much easier to review and land as a separate, rebased PR. The CONTRIBUTING.md guide recommends dedicated branches per PR rather than working from a shared branch, which helps avoid this accumulation pattern.

Thanks again for the contributions — hope to see some of these come back as focused PRs!
