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
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
having to check logs or remember what flags were used at startup.
Changes:
- Add config fields to StatusResponse in protocol.go
- 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

Add --stop-all flag to bd daemon command that:
- Discovers all running bd daemon processes using the registry
- Gracefully stops them all (with force kill fallback)
- Reports how many were stopped
Useful for:
- Cleaning up multiple daemons causing race conditions
- Getting a clean slate before running bd sync
- Debugging daemon-related issues

Adds --foreground flag to 'bd daemon --start' that runs the daemon in
foreground instead of forking to background. This enables management by
process supervisors like systemd, supervisord, or similar tools.
Usage: bd daemon --start --foreground

* feat(daemon): add --local flag for git-free operation
Add --local mode to the daemon that allows it to run without a git
repository. This decouples the daemon's core functionality (auto-flush
to JSONL, auto-import from JSONL) from git synchronization.
Changes:
- Add --local flag to daemon command
- Skip git repo check when --local is set
- Add validation that --auto-commit and --auto-push cannot be used with --local
- Create local-only sync functions that skip git operations:
- createLocalSyncFunc: export-only for polling mode
- createLocalExportFunc: export without git commit/push
- createLocalAutoImportFunc: import without git pull
- Update startup message to indicate LOCAL mode
- Update event loop to use local functions when in local mode
This enables use cases like:
- Single-machine issue tracking without git
- Auto-flush to JSONL for backup purposes
- Running daemon in environments without git access
Multi-machine sync still requires git (as expected).
* fix(daemon): skip fingerprint validation in local mode
validateDatabaseFingerprint() calls beads.ComputeRepoID() which
executes git commands. This fails in non-git directories even
with --local flag.
Skip fingerprint validation entirely when running in local mode
since there's no git repository to validate against.
* test(daemon): add comprehensive test coverage for --local mode
Add tests for:
- Flag validation (--local incompatible with --auto-commit/--auto-push)
- Git check skip logic in local mode
- createLocalSyncFunc, createLocalExportFunc, createLocalAutoImportFunc
- Fingerprint validation skip in local mode
- Full integration test in non-git directory
- Export/import round-trip test

Global daemon support has been deprecated for most of the project's
lifetime. This change removes the dead code entirely:
- Remove --global and --migrate-to-global daemon flags
- Remove runGlobalDaemon() and migrateToGlobalDaemon() functions
- Remove shouldUseGlobalDaemon() and getGlobalBeadsDir() functions
- Simplify functions that had global bool parameters
- Remove warning about old global socket in getSocketPath()
This reduces code complexity and removes 238 net lines of unused code.

Currently 'bd daemon' with no args immediately starts the daemon. This is
inconsistent with other daemon management commands like --stop, --status,
etc. and makes the command less discoverable for new users.
Changes:
- Add --start flag to explicitly start daemon
- Show help text when no operation flags provided
- Update auto-start logic to use --start flag
- Update startDaemon() to pass --start when forking
- Update all documentation to use 'bd daemon --start'
- Update MCP Python client error messages
The MCP docs already incorrectly showed 'bd daemon start' which doesn't
work, so this change fixes that documentation bug while improving UX.
Auto-start still works correctly - it now passes --start internally.
Fixes bd-gfu
