Ran: UPDATE issues SET closed_at = updated_at WHERE status = 'closed' AND closed_at IS NULL
Result: 0 remaining inconsistencies (verified)
Database now ready for CHECK constraint migration
Findings:
- 86/93 closed issues (92%) are missing closed_at timestamps
- All inconsistencies are historical (old issues bd-1 through bd-93)
- No cases of non-closed issues with timestamps
Recommendation: Set closed_at = updated_at for affected issues
Next: Apply cleanup SQL and add constraint
Fixes#42 and #44
- Remove BEADS_ACTOR and BEADS_WORKING_DIR from plugin.json env
(Claude Code only supports ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} expansion)
- Move commands from .claude-plugin/commands/ to commands/ at root
- Rename command files to remove redundant bd- prefix
This fixes MCP server crashes with literal ${PWD} directory errors
and makes slash commands discoverable in Claude Code.

Add an apps.default output to the Nix flake that enables running bd
directly with 'nix run .' without needing to use the full package path.
The apps output references the built bd binary from packages.default,
allowing users to easily run the tool with: nix run . -- <command>
Tested with 'nix run . -- version' which correctly executes bd.

Add flake.nix with computed vendorHash for Go dependencies. The flake
supports all major platforms (x86_64/aarch64 Linux and macOS) and
builds the bd binary from cmd/bd.
Removed unnecessary postInstall section as buildGoModule already names
the binary correctly from subPackages.

perf: Use self input instead of ./. for faster Nix evaluation
Replace src = ./. with src = self in flake.nix to reduce unnecessary
file copying during evaluation. This eliminates the Nix warning about
evaluation performance.
1. Fix `test_default_beads_path_auto_detection`
- Changed beads_path to use `Field(default_factory=_default_beads_path)` so the default is evaluated at instance
creation time, not class definition time
- Updated test to mock both `shutil.which` and `os.access`
2. Fix `test_init_creates_beads_directory`
- Fixed test to pass `working_dir=temp_dir` to `BdClient` instead of using `os.chdir()`
- The `_get_working_dir()` method checks `PWD` env var first, which isn't updated by `os.chdir()`
3. Fix minor linting errors reported by `ruff` tool
4. Update `beads` version to `0.9.6` in `uv.lock` file
MCP Server test coverage is now excellent, at 92% overall maintaining our high-standards of production level quality.

Fixed UNIQUE constraint errors when creating multiple issues in parallel.
Root cause: The previous two-step approach used INSERT OR IGNORE to
pre-initialize counters, followed by an UPSERT to increment. Multiple
concurrent transactions could all execute the INSERT OR IGNORE with the
same initial value, causing them to generate duplicate IDs.
Solution: Replaced with a single atomic UPSERT that:
1. Initializes counter from MAX(existing IDs) if needed
2. Updates counter to MAX(current, max existing) + 1 on conflict
3. Returns the final incremented value
This ensures counters are correctly initialized from existing issues
(fixing lazy init tests) while preventing race conditions through the
BEGIN IMMEDIATE transaction serialization.
Tested with 10 parallel processes - all succeeded with unique IDs.
Also added comprehensive profiling test suite for import performance
investigation (bd-199).

CRITICAL FIX: Auto-import was silently overwriting local changes without any
collision detection or warning. This caused data loss in multi-developer workflows.
Changes:
- Auto-import now uses sqlite.DetectCollisions() before importing
- Colliding issues are skipped (preserves local changes)
- Warning printed with list of skipped issues and resolution instructions
- Added autoImportWithoutCollisionDetection() fallback for non-SQLite backends
- All tests pass
Impact:
- Local changes are now preserved during git pull
- Users are informed when collisions occur
- Can manually resolve with 'bd import --resolve-collisions'
- No more silent data corruption
Also:
- Removed critical warning banner from README
- Created bd-229 for data recovery investigation

happen on same connection
- Increase busy_timeout from 10s to 30s for better parallel write handling

Fixes#34
Problem: Users with Go 1.18 were unable to install beads because go.mod
specifies 'go 1.23.0', which older Go toolchains cannot parse. The error
"invalid go version '1.23.0': must match format 1.23" occurs because
Go versions before 1.21 don't support the three-part version format.
Root cause: Our dependencies (especially modernc.org/sqlite) require Go 1.23,
which forces go.mod to use the 1.23.0 format. This is correct for our actual
requirements, but was incorrectly documented as requiring only Go 1.21.
Solution:
1. Updated install.sh to check for Go 1.23+ and show clear error messages
if an older version is detected
2. Updated README.md to correctly state "requires Go 1.23+" instead of 1.21+
3. go.mod already correctly specifies go 1.23.0 (no changes needed there)
The version check in install.sh now:
- Parses the Go version from 'go version' output
- Compares major.minor version numbers
- Fails fast with helpful upgrade instructions if Go < 1.23
This prevents confusing build errors and guides users to upgrade Go before
attempting installation.

The plugin documentation now explicitly states that:
1. The bd CLI must be installed first (prerequisite)
2. Plugin installation is a multi-step process (marketplace add + install + restart)
3. Removed misleading 'one-command' and 'auto-configured' language
This completes the documentation fixes started in PR #35.
The README was claiming one-command, zero-config installation, but actually requires: 1) marketplace add, 2) plugin install, 3) separate bd CLI installation. This revert tones down the promotional language to match reality.
Thanks to @jjshanks for catching this!

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)
Critical bug: MCP init tool reported success but didn't create .beads
directory. It was using --db flag which tells bd to use an existing
database elsewhere instead of creating a new one.
Root cause:
- bd_client.init() was calling _global_flags() which adds --db flag
- bd init --db <path> uses existing db instead of creating new one
- Result: init appeared to succeed but created nothing
Fix:
- Remove _global_flags() from init command
- Only pass --actor flag (safe for init)
- Do NOT pass --db flag to init (defeats the purpose)
- Add explicit comment explaining why
Testing:
- Added test_init_creates_beads_directory() integration test
- Verifies .beads directory is created in current working directory
- Verifies database file has correct prefix
- All 91 tests pass
This was causing silent failures where agents thought they initialized
bd but the .beads directory was never created.

- Add Claude Code plugin option to "Instant start" section at top
- Expand plugin benefits (zero setup, MCP tools, agent-ready)

Fixes issue where MCP tools failed with "bd executable not found"

Changes:
- Remove BEADS_PATH=bd from plugin.json (use auto-detection)
- Enhance config validator to resolve command names via PATH
- Add comprehensive config validation tests (11 new tests)
The validator now accepts both:
- Absolute paths: /usr/local/bin/bd
- Command names: bd (resolved via shutil.which)
This makes the MCP server more robust and user-friendly while
maintaining backward compatibility.

After:
