Steve Yegge 584608a14e feat: add llms.txt standard support for AI agent discoverability (#784)
Cherry-picked website/, scripts/generate-llms-full.sh, and deploy-docs.yml
from joyshmitz's PR. Fixed workflow to trigger on main branch instead of
docs/docusaurus-site.

Features:
- Docusaurus documentation site with llms.txt support
- Environment-variable driven config (defaults to steveyegge org)
- Automated llms-full.txt generation from docs
- GitHub Pages deployment workflow

Upgrading bd

How to upgrade bd and keep your projects in sync.

Checking for Updates

# Current version
bd version

# What's new in recent versions
bd info --whats-new
bd info --whats-new --json  # Machine-readable

Upgrading

Homebrew

brew upgrade bd

go install

go install github.com/steveyegge/beads/cmd/bd@latest

From Source

cd beads
git pull
go build -o bd ./cmd/bd
sudo mv bd /usr/local/bin/

After Upgrading

Important: After upgrading, update your hooks and restart daemons:

# 1. Check what changed
bd info --whats-new

# 2. Update git hooks to match new version
bd hooks install

# 3. Restart all daemons
bd daemons killall

# 4. Check for any outdated hooks
bd info  # Shows warnings if hooks are outdated

Why update hooks? Git hooks are versioned with bd. Outdated hooks may miss new auto-sync features or bug fixes.

Database Migrations

After major upgrades, check for database migrations:

# Inspect migration plan (AI agents)
bd migrate --inspect --json

# Preview migration changes
bd migrate --dry-run

# Apply migrations
bd migrate

# Migrate and clean up old files
bd migrate --cleanup --yes

Daemon Version Mismatches

If you see daemon version mismatch warnings:

# List all running daemons
bd daemons list --json

# Check for version mismatches
bd daemons health --json

# Restart all daemons with new version
bd daemons killall --json

Troubleshooting Upgrades

Old daemon still running

bd daemons killall

Hooks out of date

bd hooks install

Database schema changed

bd migrate --dry-run
bd migrate

Import errors after upgrade

Check the import configuration:

bd config get import.orphan_handling
bd import -i .beads/issues.jsonl --orphan-handling allow
