Add helpful installation instructions when bd CLI is not found,
making it clear that the CLI must be installed separately.
Changes:
- Add BdNotFoundError.installation_message() with clear install steps
- Update all BdNotFoundError raises to use new formatted message
- Improve config error message with installation instructions first
- Update tests to match new error message format
Error message now shows:
- Clear explanation that bd CLI is required
- Installation command with curl one-liner
- Link to GitHub installation docs
- Reminder to restart Claude Code after installation
Test results: 90/91 tests passing (1 unrelated path assertion)

The MCP server was running all bd commands in its own installation directory
(~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/beads-marketplace/integrations/beads-mcp/)
instead of the user's project directory. This caused databases to be created
in the wrong location.
For example, when working in ~/ai/flutter/wyvern and running `bd init --prefix wy-`,
the database was created at:
~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/beads-marketplace/integrations/beads-mcp/.beads/wy-.db
Instead of the expected location:
~/ai/flutter/wyvern/.beads/wy-.db
Solution:
- Add `cwd=os.getcwd()` to all asyncio.create_subprocess_exec() calls
- This makes bd commands execute in the current working directory from PWD env var
- Claude Code updates PWD for the MCP server process environment
Impact:
- bd init now creates .beads/ in the correct project directory
- All bd commands (create, list, update, etc.) operate on the correct database
- Multi-project workflows work correctly without manual DB path configuration
Test results: 90/91 tests passing (1 unrelated path assertion failure)
