* feat(dates): add due date schema and --due flag
- Add due_at and defer_until columns to issues table via migration 035
- Implement --due flag on create command with ISO date parsing
- Extend RPC protocol and daemon to pass DueAt from CLI to storage
- Display DueAt and DeferUntil in show command output
- Update Issue type with new date fields
Users can now set due dates when creating issues, enabling deadline-based
task management.
* feat(dates): add compact duration parser (+6h, +1d, +2w)
- Create internal/timeparsing package with layered parser architecture
- Implement parseCompactDuration with regex pattern [+-]?\d+[hdwmy]
- Add comprehensive test suite (22 cases) for duration parsing
- Integrate into create.go with fallback to ISO format
Supports hours (h), days (d), weeks (w), months (m), and years (y).
Negative values allowed for past dates.
* feat(dates): add NLP parsing for natural language dates
Integrate olebedev/when library for natural language time expressions.
The layered parser now handles: compact duration → absolute formats → NLP.
Changes:
- Add olebedev/when dependency for NLP parsing
- Implement ParseNaturalLanguage and ParseRelativeTime functions
- Reorder layers: absolute formats before NLP to avoid misinterpretation
- Simplify create.go to use unified ParseRelativeTime
- Add comprehensive NLP test coverage (22 test cases)
Supports: tomorrow, next monday, in 3 days, 3 days ago
* feat(dates): add --defer flag to create/update/defer commands
Add time-based deferral support alongside existing status-based defer.
Issues can now be hidden from bd ready until a specific time.
Changes:
- Add --defer flag to bd create (sets defer_until on creation)
- Add --due and --defer flags to bd update (modify existing issues)
- Add --until flag to bd defer (combines status=deferred with defer_until)
- Add DueAt/DeferUntil fields to UpdateArgs in protocol.go
Supports: +1h, tomorrow, next monday, 2025-01-15
* feat(dates): add defer_until filtering to ready command
Add time-based deferral support to bd ready:
- Add --include-deferred flag to show issues with future defer_until
- Filter out issues where defer_until > now by default
- Update undefer to clear defer_until alongside status change
- Add IncludeDeferred to WorkFilter and RPC ReadyArgs
Part of GH#820: Relative Date Parsing (Phase 5)
* feat(dates): add polish and tests for relative date parsing
Add user-facing warnings when defer date is in the past to help catch
common mistakes. Expand help text with format examples and document
the olebedev/when September parsing quirk.
Tests:
- TestCreateSuite/WithDueAt, WithDeferUntil, WithBothDueAndDefer
- TestReadyWorkDeferUntil (ExcludesFutureDeferredByDefault, IncludeDeferredShowsAll)
Docs:
- CLAUDE.md quick reference updated with new flags
- Help text examples for --due, --defer on create/update
Closes: Phase 6 of beads-820-relative-dates spec
* feat(list): add time-based query filters for defer/due dates
Add --deferred, --defer-before, --defer-after, --due-before, --due-after,
and --overdue flags to bd list command. All date filters now support
relative time expressions (+6h, tomorrow, next monday) via the
timeparsing package.
Filters:
- --deferred: issues with defer_until set
- --defer-before/after: filter by defer_until date range
- --due-before/after: filter by due_at date range
- --overdue: due_at in past AND status != closed
Existing date filters (--created-after, etc.) now also support relative
time expressions through updated parseTimeFlag().
* build(nix): update vendorHash for olebedev/when dependency
The olebedev/when library was added for natural language date parsing
(GH#820). This changes go.sum, requiring an updated vendorHash in the
Nix flake configuration.
Refactored 6 high-priority test files to reduce database initializations
and improve test suite performance:
- create_test.go: Combined 11 tests into TestCreateSuite (11 DBs → 1 DB)
- dep_test.go: Combined into TestDependencySuite (4 DBs → 1 DB)
- comments_test.go: Combined into TestCommentsSuite (2 DBs → 1 DB)
- list_test.go: Split into 2 suites to avoid data pollution (2 DBs → 2 DBs)
- ready_test.go: Combined into TestReadySuite (3 DBs → 1 DB)
- stale_test.go: Kept as individual functions due to data isolation needs
Added TEST_SUITE_AUDIT.md documenting the refactoring plan, results,
and key learnings for future test development.
Results:
- P1 tests now run in 0.43 seconds
- Estimated 10-20x speedup
- All tests passing
