Steve Yegge 83ae110508 refactor: Remove legacy MCP Agent Mail integration (bd-6gd)
Remove the external MCP Agent Mail server integration that required
running a separate HTTP server and configuring environment variables.

The native `bd mail` system (stored as git-synced issues) remains
unchanged and is the recommended approach for inter-agent messaging.

Files removed:
- cmd/bd/message.go - Legacy `bd message` command
- integrations/beads-mcp/src/beads_mcp/mail.py, mail_tools.py
- lib/beads_mail_adapter.py - Python adapter library
- examples/go-agent/ - Agent Mail-focused example
- examples/python-agent/agent_with_mail.py, AGENT_MAIL_EXAMPLE.md
- docs/AGENT_MAIL*.md, docs/adr/002-agent-mail-integration.md
- tests/integration/test_agent_race.py, test_mail_failures.py, etc.
- tests/benchmarks/ - Agent Mail benchmarks

Updated documentation to remove Agent Mail references while keeping
native `bd mail` documentation intact.

# Python Agent Example
A simple Python script demonstrating how an AI agent can use bd to manage tasks.
## Features
- Finds ready work using `bd ready --json`
- Claims tasks by updating status
- Simulates discovering new issues during work
- Links discovered issues with `discovered-from` dependency
- Completes tasks and moves to the next one
## Prerequisites
- Python 3.7+
- bd installed: `go install github.com/steveyegge/beads/cmd/bd@latest`
- A beads database initialized: `bd init`
## Usage
```bash
# Make the script executable
chmod +x agent.py
# Run the agent
./agent.py
```
## What It Does
1. Queries for ready work (no blocking dependencies)
2. Claims the highest priority task
3. "Works" on the task (simulated)
4. If the task involves implementation, discovers a testing task
5. Creates the new testing task and links it with `discovered-from`
6. Completes the original task
7. Repeats until no ready work remains
## Example Output
```
🚀 Beads Agent starting...
============================================================
Iteration 1/10
============================================================
📋 Claiming task: bd-1
🤖 Working on: Implement user authentication (bd-1)
Priority: 1, Type: feature
💡 Discovered: Missing test coverage for this feature
✨ Creating issue: Add tests for Implement user authentication
🔗 Linking bd-2 ← discovered-from ← bd-1
✅ Completing task: bd-1 - Implemented successfully
🔄 New work discovered and linked. Running another cycle...
```
## Integration with Real Agents
To integrate with a real LLM-based agent:
1. Replace `simulate_work()` with actual LLM calls
2. Parse the LLM's response for discovered issues/bugs
3. Use the issue ID to track context across conversations
4. Export/import JSONL to share state across agent sessions
## Advanced Usage
```python
# Create an agent with custom behavior
agent = BeadsAgent()
# Find specific types of work
ready = agent.run_bd("ready", "--priority", "1", "--assignee", "bot")
# Create issues with labels
agent.run_bd("create", "New task", "-l", "urgent,backend")
# Query dependency tree
tree = agent.run_bd("dep", "tree", "bd-1")
```
