If you use r.stream.extract instead of r.watershed + r.thin +
r.to.vect + v.clean + etc, you get line directions pointing downstream
without any further processing/editing.

Please note that r.stream.extract also writes points at stream
sources, confluences, and outlets. If you are only interested in
vector stream segments, you can extract them with

v.extract type=line layer=1
