* 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.
The bd update command now checks needsRouting() before attempting daemon
RPC resolution. When an issue ID (like hq-eggh5) routes to a different
beads directory, the update bypasses the daemon and uses direct mode with
the routed storage.
This enables polecats in gastown to update HQ beads (hq-* prefix) and
vice versa. The fix mirrors the routing pattern already used by bd show.

Add --notes flag to bd create command, enabling agents to set notes
during issue creation instead of requiring a separate update command.
Motivation: AI agents repeatedly tried to use --notes with bd create.
Context is fresh at creation time - forcing a two-step process means
context loss or workflow interruption.
Changes:
- cmd/bd/flags.go: Added --notes flag to common issue flags
- cmd/bd/create.go: Read and pass notes in both RPC and direct modes
- cmd/bd/update.go: Removed duplicate --notes flag definition
- internal/rpc/protocol.go: Added Notes field to CreateArgs
- internal/rpc/server_issues_epics.go: Process Notes in handleCreate
- cmd/bd/create_notes_test.go: Comprehensive test coverage
- website/docs/cli-reference/issues.md: Documentation
Also adds gitignore entries for Augment AI and .beads/redirect.

When no issue ID is provided to `bd update` or `bd close`, use the last
touched issue from the most recent create, update, show, or close operation.
This addresses the common workflow where you create an issue and then
immediately want to add more details (like changing priority from P2 to P4)
without re-typing the issue ID.
Implementation:
- New file last_touched.go with Get/Set/Clear functions
- Store last touched ID in .beads/last-touched (gitignored)
- Track on create, update, show, and close operations
- Allow update/close with zero args to use last touched
