Add two new RPC endpoints to allow CLI commands to work in daemon mode: 1. GetConfig (OpGetConfig) - Retrieves config values from the daemon database. Used by bd create to validate issue prefix in daemon mode. 2. MolStale (OpMolStale) - Finds stale molecules (complete-but-unclosed epics). Used by bd mol stale command in daemon mode. Changes: - internal/rpc/protocol.go: Add operation constants and request/response types - internal/rpc/client.go: Add client methods GetConfig() and MolStale() - internal/rpc/server_issues_epics.go: Add handler implementations - internal/rpc/server_routing_validation_diagnostics.go: Register handlers - cmd/bd/create.go: Use GetConfig RPC instead of skipping validation - cmd/bd/mol_stale.go: Use MolStale RPC instead of requiring --no-daemon - internal/rpc/coverage_test.go: Add tests for new endpoints 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
bd - Beads
Distributed, git-backed graph issue tracker for AI agents.
Beads provides a persistent, structured memory for coding agents. It replaces messy markdown plans with a dependency-aware graph, allowing agents to handle long-horizon tasks without losing context.
⚡ Quick Start
# Install (macOS/Linux)
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/steveyegge/beads/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
# Initialize (Humans run this once)
bd init
# Tell your agent
echo "Use 'bd' for task tracking" >> AGENTS.md
🛠 Features
- Git as Database: Issues stored as JSONL in
.beads/. Versioned, branched, and merged like code. - Agent-Optimized: JSON output, dependency tracking, and auto-ready task detection.
- Zero Conflict: Hash-based IDs (
bd-a1b2) prevent merge collisions in multi-agent/multi-branch workflows. - Invisible Infrastructure: SQLite local cache for speed; background daemon for auto-sync.
- Compaction: Semantic "memory decay" summarizes old closed tasks to save context window.
📖 Essential Commands
| Command | Action |
|---|---|
bd ready |

🔗 Hierarchy & Workflow
Beads supports hierarchical IDs for epics:
bd-a3f8(Epic)bd-a3f8.1(Task)bd-a3f8.1.1(Sub-task)
Stealth Mode: Run bd init --stealth to use Beads locally without committing files to the main repo. Perfect for personal use on shared projects.
