Progress on eliminating separate .beads-wisp/ directory:
- Add --wisp flag to bd create (creates issue with Wisp=true)
- Update bd wisp create to use main db instead of separate wisp storage
- Update bd wisp list to query main db with Wisp filter
- Update bd wisp gc to work with main database
- Add Wisp field to RPC ListArgs for daemon mode support
- Fix terminology: use "old/abandoned" for time-based cleanup,
reserve "stale" for graph-pressure staleness (per Gas Town taxonomy)
Still TODO:
- Finish mol squash simplification (remove cross-store logic)
- Remove runWispSquash and squashWispToPermanent functions
- Update mol burn similarly
- Deprecate .beads-wisp/ functions in internal/beads/beads.go
- Test all changes

New RPC endpoint to get detailed progress for a molecule (parent issue
with child steps). Returns moleculeID, title, assignee, and list of
steps with their status (done/current/ready/blocked) and timestamps.
Used when user expands a worker in the activity feed TUI.

Adds 'waits-for' dependency type for dynamic molecule bonding:
- DepWaitsFor blocks an issue until spawner's children are closed
- Two gate types: all-children (wait for all) or any-children (first)
- Updated blocked_cache.go CTE to handle waits-for dependencies
- Added --waits-for and --waits-for-gate flags to bd create command
- Added WaitsForMeta struct for gate metadata storage
- Full test coverage for all gate types and dynamic child scenarios
This enables patrol molecules to wait for dynamically-bonded arms to
complete before proceeding (Christmas Ornament pattern).

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
Closes #TBD
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.

The estimated_minutes field existed in the Issue schema but wasn't exposed
via CLI. This adds:
- --estimate / -e flag to bd create (e.g., bd create "Task" --estimate 120)
- --estimate / -e flag to bd update (e.g., bd update bd-xyz --estimate 60)
- EstimatedMinutes field to RPC CreateArgs and UpdateArgs
- Server-side handling in handleCreate and updatesFromArgs
- Validation for non-negative values
The value is specified in minutes and is useful for planning and
prioritization. The vscode-beads extension already has an Estimate column
that can now be populated.

Implements a new 'bd count' command that provides efficient issue counting
with filtering and grouping capabilities.
Features:
- Basic count: Returns total count of issues matching filters

* feat: Add reload button and multiselect status filter to monitor
- Changed status filter from single select to multiselect with 'Open' selected by default
- Added reload button with visual feedback (hover/active states)
- Updated filterIssues() to handle multiple selected statuses
- Added reloadData() function that reloads both stats and issues
- Improved responsive design for mobile devices
- Filter controls now use flexbox layout with better spacing
* fix: Update monitor statistics to show Total, In Progress, Open, Closed
- Replaced 'Ready to Work' stat with 'In Progress' stat
- Reordered stats to show logical progression: Total -> In Progress -> Open -> Closed
- Updated loadStats() to fetch in-progress count from stats API
- Removed unnecessary separate API call for ready count
* fix: Correct API field names in monitor stats JavaScript
The JavaScript was using incorrect field names (stats.total, stats.by_status)
that don't match the actual types.Statistics struct which uses flat fields
with underscores (total_issues, in_progress_issues, etc).
Fixed by updating loadStats() to use correct field names:
- stats.total -> stats.total_issues
- stats.by_status?.['in-progress'] -> stats.in_progress_issues
- stats.by_status?.open -> stats.open_issues
- stats.by_status?.closed -> stats.closed_issues

* fix: Make monitor require daemon to prevent SQLite locking
Implemented Option 1 from beads-eel: monitor now requires daemon and never
opens direct SQLite connection.
Changes:
- Added 'monitor' to noDbCommands list in main.go to skip normal DB initialization
- Added validateDaemonForMonitor() PreRun function that:
- Finds database path using beads.FindDatabasePath()
- Validates daemon is running and healthy
- Fails gracefully with clear error message if no daemon
- Only uses RPC connection, never opens SQLite directly
Benefits:
- Eliminates SQLite locking conflicts between monitor and daemon
- Users can now close/update issues via CLI while monitor runs
- Clear error messages guide users to start daemon first

- README.md: Added restart examples to daemon management section
- AGENTS.md: Added restart examples with --json flag for agents
The restart command gracefully stops and starts a specific daemon by workspace path or PID,
useful after upgrading bd or when a daemon needs refreshing.
