Steve Yegge ef94641541 Add multi-agent race condition test (bd-zo7o)

- Created test_agent_race.py with 3 test scenarios
- Tests collision prevention with Agent Mail reservations
- Validates that only one agent claims an issue when reservations active
- Demonstrates collision problem when Agent Mail disabled
- Includes stress test with 10 agents
- Non-interactive mode support for CI/automation

Integration Tests

This directory contains integration tests for bd (beads) that test end-to-end functionality.

Tests

test_agent_race.py

Multi-agent race condition test that validates collision prevention with Agent Mail.

What it tests:

Multiple agents simultaneously attempting to claim the same issue
WITH Agent Mail: Only one agent succeeds (via reservation)
WITHOUT Agent Mail: Multiple agents may succeed (collision)
Verification via JSONL that no duplicate claims occur

Prerequisites:

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

Agent Mail server running (optional, for full test suite):

cd ~/src/mcp_agent_mail
source .venv/bin/activate
uv run python -m mcp_agent_mail.cli serve-http

Running:

python3 tests/integration/test_agent_race.py

Expected results:

WITH Agent Mail running: Test 1 passes (only 1 claim), Test 2 shows collision, Test 3 passes
WITHOUT Agent Mail running: All tests demonstrate collision (expected behavior without reservation system)

Adding New Tests

Integration tests should:

Use temporary workspaces (cleaned up automatically)
Test real bd CLI commands, not just internal APIs
Verify behavior in .beads/issues.jsonl when relevant
Clean up resources in finally blocks
Provide clear output showing what's being tested
