VC imports Beads (VC → Beads dependency) and wraps it with VC-specific storage methods. Both share the same database but maintain separate table namespaces.\n\n**Current Pain Points:**\n1. Code Duplication: Issue CRUD, dependency graphs, labels, status transitions all reimplemented\n2. Schema Drift Risk: VC schema manually defined, could diverge from Beads\n3. Lost Features: Can't leverage Beads query optimizer or advanced features without process spawning\n4. Atomic Operations: Hand-rolled 100+ line transaction management\n5. Maintenance Burden: Every Beads feature must be manually replicated\n\n**Concrete Example:**\nWhen Beads adds a new field (e.g., estimated_hours):\n- Current: 4-6 hours of manual work (update types, 6+ SQL queries, migration, testing)\n- With Library: 5 minutes (go get -u github.com/steveyegge/beads)\n\n**Phased Approach:**\n1.

Daemon caches counter value - needs to reload after external changes\n\nRelated: bd-15 (original counter sync fix), bd-6 (daemon cache staleness)","notes":"## Investigation Results\n\nAfter thorough code review, all the fixes mentioned in the issue description have ALREADY been implemented:\n\n### ✅ Fixes Already in Place:\n\n1. **Import DOES resync counters**\n - `cmd/bd/import_shared.go:253` calls `SyncAllCounters()` after batch import\n - Verified with new test `TestCounterSyncAfterImport`\n\n2. **Delete DOES update counters**\n - `internal/storage/sqlite/sqlite.go:1424` calls `SyncAllCounters()` after deletion\n - Both single delete and batch delete sync properly\n - Verified with existing tests: `TestCounterSyncAfterDelete`, `TestCounterSyncAfterBatchDelete`\n\n3. **Renumber DOES fix counters**\n - `cmd/bd/renumber.go:298-304` calls `ResetCounter()` then `SyncAllCounters()`\n - Forces counter to actual max ID (not just MAX with stale value)\n\n4. **Daemon cache DOES detect external changes**\n - `internal/rpc/server.go:1466-1487` checks file mtime and evicts stale cache\n - When DB file changes externally, cached storage is evicted and reopened\n\n### Tests Added:\n\n- `TestCounterSyncAfterImport`: Confirms import syncs counters from stale value (4106) to actual max (49)\n- `TestCounterNotSyncedWithoutExplicitSync`: Documents what would happen without the fix (bd-4107 instead of bd-50)\n\n### Conclusion:\n\nThe issue described in bd-50 has been **fully resolved**. All operations (import, delete, renumber) now properly sync counters. The daemon correctly detects external DB changes via file modification time.\n\nThe root cause (migration only syncing empty tables) was fixed by adding explicit `SyncAllCounters()` calls after import, delete, and renumber operations.","status":"closed","priority":1,"issue_type":"bug","created_at":"2025-10-23T19:23:06.443141-07:00","updated_at":"2025-10-23T19:23:06.599764-07:00","closed_at":"2025-10-22T00:03:46.697918-07:00"} +{"id":"bd-195","title":"Add integration tests for worktree workflow with separate databases","description":"Created test_worktree_separate_dbs.py that verifies the recommended workflow: one beads database per worktree with daemon-less MCP mode (BEADS_USE_DAEMON=0).
