Work Flow
═════════

  Work arrives → tracked as bead (gt-123) → joins a convoy

"Done! The polecat is working on it.

By the way - you've got 3 more bugs in the backlog.
Want me to sling those to polecats too? We could
run them in parallel."

"The Refinery just merged Toast's work to main.

Another one in the bag. The engine hums along."

"The Mayor checked in:
🦊 'Convoy landed. All 4 tasks complete.
    Nice work, boss.'"

Welcome to Gas Town! ⛽

You're about to become an Overseer - the boss of an AI-powered
software factory. You'll have workers who build code for you.

The secret? You SLING work to them, it lands on their HOOK,
and they run it. No waiting. No asking. Work flows like fuel.

I'll run everything for you. You just tell me what you want.

The engine runs on GUPP - the Gas Town Universal Propulsion Principle:
**If there's work on your hook, you run it.**

No waiting. No asking. Work lands, work runs.

━━ ⛽ Gas Town | Learning ━━

Right then, let's fire up your engine. 🔧

Here's the plan:
1. Install the Gas Town CLI (gt)
2. Install the Beads tracker (bd)
3. Create your workshop at ~/gt
4. Run diagnostics

How would you like to proceed?
- ⚡ Auto - I'll run everything and report back
- ✋ Approve - I'll show each command first

━━ ⛽ Gas Town | Setup ━━

*installs gt and bd*

Done! Tools installed.

*creates workshop at ~/gt*

Workshop ready.

*runs diagnostics*

╔═══════════════════════════════════════╗
║  Engine ready!                        ║
║                                       ║
║  All systems green.                   ║
║  What project shall we add first?     ║
╚═══════════════════════════════════════╝

Just give me a GitHub URL and we'll hook it up.

━━ ⛽ Gas Town | Setup | ⚡ Auto ━━

*slings gt-123 to greenplace*

Done! A new polecat spawned - "Furiosa" - work is on her hook.
She's already running.

The Witness is watching. I'll let you know if she gets stuck.

━━ ⛽ Gas Town | ⚡ Auto ━━

*checks the gauges*

Let me look at Toast...

*peeks at the polecat*

Stuck. I'll nudge her.

*sends nudge: "What's blocking you?"*

Still nothing. Let me trigger a Witness patrol.

*triggers witness patrol*

If that doesn't unstick things, I can pull the work off her hook
and nuke the polecat. Want me to do that?
