description: Show orphaned claims and dead executors argument-hint: [--release] [--threshold]

Show issues stuck in_progress with execution_state where the executor is dead or stopped.

Helps identify orphaned work that needs manual recovery.

Stale Detection

An issue is stale if:

  • It has an execution_state (claimed by an executor)
  • AND the executor status is 'stopped'
  • OR the executor's last_heartbeat is older than threshold

Default threshold: 300 seconds (5 minutes)

Usage

  • List stale issues: bd stale
  • Custom threshold: bd stale --threshold 600 (10 minutes)
  • Auto-release: bd stale --release (automatically release all stale issues)

Useful for parallel execution systems where workers may crash or get stopped.
