Motivation:
The existing --parent flag only shows direct children in a flat list,
but users often need to see the complete hierarchy including grandchildren
and deeper levels. This limitation made it difficult to understand the
full scope of work under an epic or parent issue.
Key changes:
- Enhanced list command to detect --tree --parent combination
- Implemented recursive parent filtering instead of GetDependencyTree
- Added DRY refactoring with withStorage() and getHierarchicalChildren() helpers
- Eliminated duplication between daemon and direct modes
- Added comprehensive test coverage with TestHierarchicalChildren
- Fixed cross-repository compatibility issues
Side-effects:
- No breaking changes: existing --parent behavior unchanged
- --tree --parent now shows hierarchical tree instead of flat list
- Parent issue is included as root of the displayed tree
- Works consistently across all repositories and storage modes
- Improved code maintainability with DRY architecture
- Better test coverage ensures reliability and prevents regressions
* 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.
Adds closed_by_session tracking for entity CV building per Gas Town
decision 009-session-events-architecture.md.
Changes:
- Add ClosedBySession field to Issue struct
- Add closed_by_session column to issues table (migration 034)
- Add --session flag to bd close command
- Support CLAUDE_SESSION_ID env var as fallback
- Add --session flag to bd update for status=closed
- Display closed_by_session in bd show output
- Update Storage interface to include session parameter in CloseIssue

Added 479 lines of new tests:
- utils_unit_test.go: Tests for utility functions (truncateString,
pluralize, formatTimeAgo, containsLabel, extractIDSuffix, truncate,
truncateDescription, showCleanupDeprecationHint, clearAutoFlushState)
- hooks_test.go: Tests for FormatHookWarnings, isRebaseInProgress,
hasBeadsJSONL
- list_test.go: Tests for formatIssueLong, formatIssueCompact
- version_tracking_test.go: Fixed flaky tests by setting BEADS_DIR
env var to prevent git worktree detection from finding the actual
.beads directory instead of the temp directory
Coverage increased from 21.6% to 22.0%. The remaining 78% of untested
code involves daemon/RPC operations, command handlers requiring
database/daemon setup, and git operations that would require
integration tests with mocked dependencies.

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
