on GitHub

150 commits since v0.9.0. Major themes: reliability hardening, telemetry, formula-driven architecture, and cross-platform fixes.

Highlights

go install fixed

The replace directive for the zfogg/dolt fork has been removed. go install github.com/steveyegge/gastown/cmd/gt@v0.10.0 works again. (#2230)

Polecat reliability (clown show #22 resolved)

• Per-bead respawn circuit breaker prevents spawn storms (#2203)
• Duplicate spawn prevention for same bead
• Stale molecule auto-burn unblocks re-dispatch
• TOCTOU race fixes in name allocation, zombie detection, and respawn recording

Convoy & sling fixes

• Non-slingable blockers respected in wave computation (#2228)
• EnsureCustomStatuses with doctor check for staged_ready/staged_warnings (#2275)
• Nil cobra.Command guard in runSling
• Rig-prefixed bead resolution in gt show and gt sling (#2126)
• bd stderr capture suppresses usage dump noise (#2270)

Merge queue pre-verification

• New pre-verify step in mol-polecat-work v8
• gt done --pre-verified flag for merge queue fast-path
• Refinery pre-verification fast-path skips redundant CI

Telemetry (OTel)

• Agent session, mail, and token usage instrumentation
• Work context injection + agent conversation streaming
• PII gating, orphan process cleanup, content limit cache

Daemon & witness hardening

• Refinery spawn gated on pending events (avoids idle API burns)
• Handoff cooldown prevents crash loop on idle rigs
• Wisp reaper batches UPDATEs to avoid blocking hq queries (60-90s → fast)
• Wisp reaper rewritten as Dog-driven via formula
• ZFC-violating policy decisions removed from witness handlers
• Heartbeat v2 with agent-reported state

mTLS proxy for sandboxed polecats

• New mTLS proxy server and client for sandboxed polecat execution
• gt commands annotated as polecat-safe for proxy allowlist

Agent memory

• gt remember/memories/forget commands backed by beads
• Persistent across sessions, injected at prime time

Per-town tmux isolation

• GT_TMUX_SOCKET=auto for opt-in per-town tmux isolation
• gt status shows dolt data-dir and tmux socket/PID

Custom polecat name themes

• gt namepool theme with custom theme file support
• Validation, preview, delete warnings

Other notable fixes

• MR beads invisible to Refinery when setupSharedBeads fails — now fatal (#2282)
• Refinery clamps invalid MR priorities to lowest instead of highest
• gt doctor --fix provisions missing patrol formulas (#2105)
• SHOW DATABASES result caching prevents thundering herd (#2180)
• Cross-platform: Setpgid extracted for Windows, syscall.Flock replaced with cross-platform lock
• make install works on tag checkouts (#2062)
• Plugin cooldown gate fixed (used months instead of minutes)
• Daemon PID=0 fix, dolt multi-town PID reuse fix (#2243)
• gt mayor at aborts on dolt startup failure (#2246)

Breaking changes

• Minimum beads version bumped to v0.57.0
• setupSharedBeads failure is now fatal (was silently ignored)

Known issues

• Cross-machine Dolt not fully supported yet (#2276)
• Context-budget tap guard PR still in review (#2008)
