### Testing Workflow
**IMPORTANT:** Never pollute the production database with test issues!
**For manual testing**, use the `BEADS_DB` environment variable to point to a temporary database:
```bash
# Create test issues in isolated database
BEADS_DB=/tmp/test.db ./bd init --quiet --prefix test
BEADS_DB=/tmp/test.db ./bd create "Test issue" -p 1
# Or for quick testing
BEADS_DB=/tmp/test.db ./bd create "Test feature" -p 1
```
**For automated tests**, use `t.TempDir()` in Go tests:
```go
func TestMyFeature(t *testing.T) {
tmpDir := t.TempDir()
testDB := filepath.Join(tmpDir, ".beads", "beads.db")
s := newTestStore(t, testDB)
// ... test code
}
```
**Warning:** bd will warn you when creating issues with "Test" prefix in the production database. Always use `BEADS_DB` for manual testing.
### Before Committing
1. **Run tests**: `go test -short ./...` (full tests run in CI)
