Allows reparenting issues to a different epic/parent:
bd update bd-xyz --parent=bd-epic
Implementation:
- Add Parent field to UpdateArgs in protocol.go
- Handle reparenting in RPC handler (server_issues_epics.go)
- Add --parent flag to updateCmd with both daemon and direct mode support
- Remove old parent-child dependency before adding new one
- Pass empty string to remove parent entirely

Analysis found these commands are dead code:
- gt never calls `bd pin` - uses `bd update --status=pinned` instead
- Beads.Pin() wrapper exists but is never called
- bd hook functionality duplicated by gt mol status
- Code comment says "pinned field is cosmetic for bd hook visibility"

created_by was recently added in c3ef1c3f38 but was missing support for passing in the CreatedBy through the RPC path so a create that was using the daemon was never having the created_by field set.
* feat(ready,blocked): Add --parent flag for scoping by epic/bead descendants
Add --parent flag to `bd ready` and `bd blocked` CLI commands and MCP tools
to filter results to all descendants of a specific epic or bead.
## Backward Compatibility
- CLI: New optional --parent flag; existing usage unchanged
- RPC: New `blocked` operation added (was missing); existing operations unchanged
- MCP: New optional `parent` parameter; existing calls work as before
- Storage interface: GetBlockedIssues signature changed to accept WorkFilter
- All callers updated to pass empty filter for existing behavior
- Empty WorkFilter{} returns identical results to previous implementation
## Implementation Details
SQLite uses recursive CTE to traverse parent-child hierarchy:
WITH RECURSIVE descendants AS (
SELECT issue_id FROM dependencies
WHERE type = 'parent-child' AND depends_on_id = ?
UNION ALL
SELECT d.issue_id FROM dependencies d
JOIN descendants dt ON d.depends_on_id = dt.issue_id
WHERE d.type = 'parent-child'
)
SELECT issue_id FROM descendants
MemoryStorage implements equivalent recursive traversal with visited-set
cycle protection via collectDescendants helper.
Parent filter composes with existing filters (priority, labels, assignee, etc.)
as an additional WHERE clause - all filters are AND'd together.
## RPC Blocked Support
MCP beads_blocked() existed but daemon client raised NotImplementedError.
Added OpBlocked and handleBlocked to enable daemon RPC path, which was
previously broken. Now both CLI and daemon clients work for blocked queries.
## Changes
- internal/types/types.go: Add ParentID *string to WorkFilter
- internal/storage/sqlite/ready.go: Add recursive CTE for parent filtering
- internal/storage/memory/memory.go: Add getAllDescendants/collectDescendants
- internal/storage/storage.go: Update GetBlockedIssues interface signature
- cmd/bd/ready.go: Add --parent flag to ready and blocked commands
- internal/rpc/protocol.go: Add OpBlocked constant and BlockedArgs type
- internal/rpc/server_issues_epics.go: Add handleBlocked RPC handler
- internal/rpc/client.go: Add Blocked client method
- integrations/beads-mcp/: Add BlockedParams model and parent parameter
## Usage
bd ready --parent bd-abc # All ready descendants
bd ready --parent bd-abc --priority 1 # Combined with other filters
bd blocked --parent bd-abc # All blocked descendants
## Testing
Added 4 test cases for parent filtering:
- TestParentIDFilterDescendants: Verifies recursive traversal (grandchildren)
- TestParentIDWithOtherFilters: Verifies composition with priority filter
- TestParentIDWithBlockedDescendants: Verifies blocked issues excluded from ready
- TestParentIDEmptyParent: Verifies empty result for childless parent
* fix: Correct blockedCmd indentation and suppress gosec false positive
- Fix syntax error from incorrect indentation in blockedCmd Run function
- Add nolint:gosec comment for GetBlockedIssues SQL formatting (G201)
The filterSQL variable contains only parameterized WHERE clauses with
? placeholders, not user input
When closing an issue, the new --suggest-next flag returns a list of
issues that became unblocked (ready to work on) as a result of the close.
This helps agents and users quickly identify what work is now available
after completing a blocker.
Example:
$ bd close bd-5 --suggest-next
✓ Closed bd-5: Completed
Newly unblocked:
• bd-7 "Implement feature X" (P1)
• bd-8 "Write tests for X" (P2)
Implementation:
- Added GetNewlyUnblockedByClose to storage interface
- Implemented efficient single-query for SQLite using blocked_issues_cache
- Added SuggestNext field to CloseArgs in RPC protocol
- Added CloseResult type for structured response
- CLI handles both daemon and direct modes

Added type-specific ID prefixes for better visual recognition:
- `bd pour` now generates IDs with "mol-" prefix
- `bd wisp create` now generates IDs with "wisp-" prefix
- Regular issues continue using the configured prefix
Implementation:
- Added IDPrefix field to types.Issue (internal, not exported to JSONL)
- Added Prefix field to CloneOptions for spawning operations
- Added IDPrefix to RPC CreateArgs for daemon communication
- Updated storage layer to use issue.IDPrefix when generating IDs
- Updated pour.go and wisp.go to pass appropriate prefixes
This enables instant visual recognition of entity types and prevents
accidental modification of templates.

This prevents a common mistake where users add dependencies from child
issues to their parent epics. This creates a deadlock:
- Child can't start (blocked by open parent)
- Parent can't close (children not done)

- server_labels_deps_comments.go: Same check for daemon RPC

Add --auto-pull flag to control whether the daemon periodically pulls from
remote to check for updates from other clones.
Configuration precedence:
1. --auto-pull CLI flag (highest)
2. BEADS_AUTO_PULL environment variable
3. daemon.auto_pull in database config
4. Default: true when sync.branch is configured
When auto_pull is enabled, the daemon creates a remoteSyncTicker that
periodically calls doAutoImport() to pull remote changes. When disabled,
users must manually run 'git pull' to sync remote changes.
Changes:
- cmd/bd/daemon.go: Add --auto-pull flag and config reading logic
- cmd/bd/daemon_event_loop.go: Gate remoteSyncTicker on autoPull parameter
- cmd/bd/daemon_lifecycle.go: Add auto-pull to status output and spawn args
- internal/rpc/protocol.go: Add AutoPull field to StatusResponse
- internal/rpc/server_core.go: Add autoPull to Server struct and SetConfig
- internal/rpc/server_routing_validation_diagnostics.go: Include in status
- Tests updated to pass autoPull parameter

Wisp = ephemeral vapor produced by the Steam Engine (Gas Town).
This aligns with the metaphor:
- Claude = Fire
- Claude Code = Steam
- Gas Town = Steam Engine
- Wisps = ephemeral vapor it produces
Changes:
- types.Issue.Ephemeral → types.Issue.Wisp
- types.IssueFilter.Ephemeral → types.IssueFilter.Wisp
- JSON field: "ephemeral" → "wisp"
- CLI flag: --ephemeral → --wisp (bd cleanup)
- All tests updated
Note: SQLite column remains "ephemeral" (no migration needed).
This is a breaking change for JSON consumers using 0.33.0.

Allow changing an issue type (bug, feature, task, epic, chore) via the

allowedUpdateFields, this just exposes it through the CLI.
Changes:
- Add --type/-t flag to updateCmd in show.go
- Add IssueType field to UpdateArgs in protocol.go
- Handle issue_type in updatesFromArgs in server_issues_epics.go
- Add validation using ParseIssueType before update
Example usage:
bd update ab-xyz --type epic
Fixes: #522
Add auto-commit, auto-push, local mode, sync interval, and daemon mode
to the status output when querying a running daemon.
This helps users understand the current daemon configuration without

- Add SetConfig() method to Server for daemon to set its config
- Update handleStatus() to include config in response
- Update showDaemonStatus() to query and display config via RPC
- Add comprehensive test coverage for new functionality
