Update a beads issue.
If arguments are provided:
- $1: Issue ID
- $2: New status (open, in_progress, blocked, closed)
If arguments are missing, ask the user for:
1. Issue ID
2. What to update (status, priority, assignee, title, description)
3. New value
Use the beads MCP `update` tool to apply the changes. Show the updated issue to confirm the change.
**Note:** Comments are managed separately with `bd comments add`. The `update` command is for singular, versioned properties (title, status, priority, etc.), while comments form a discussion thread that's appended to, not updated.
Common workflows:
- Start work: Update status to `in_progress`
- Mark blocked: Update status to `blocked`
- Reprioritize: Update priority (0-4)
