Implements evaluation for GitHub-related gate types: - gh:run: Checks if a GitHub Actions run has completed using `gh run view <id> --json status,conclusion` - gh:pr: Checks if a PR has been merged/closed using `gh pr view <id> --json state,merged` Both gate types require the gh CLI to be installed and authenticated. If gh fails (not installed, network issues, invalid IDs), the gate is skipped rather than erroneously closed. Refactors the eval loop to use a switch statement for cleaner gate type dispatch.

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.
