* fix(import): support custom issue types during import Fixes regression from7cf67153where custom issue types (agent, molecule, convoy, etc.) were rejected during import with "invalid issue type" error. - Add validateFieldUpdateWithCustom() for both custom statuses and types - Add validateIssueTypeWithCustom() for custom type validation - Update queries.go UpdateIssue() to fetch and validate custom types - Update transaction.go UpdateIssue() to fetch and validate custom types - Add 15 test cases covering custom type validation scenarios This aligns UpdateIssue() validation with the federation trust model used by ValidateForImport(). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(test): add metadata.json and chdir to temp dir in direct mode tests Fixes three test failures caused by commite82f5136which changed ensureStoreActive() to use factory.NewFromConfig() instead of respecting the global dbPath variable. Root cause: - Tests create issues in test.db and set dbPath = testDBPath - ensureStoreActive() calls factory.NewFromConfig() which reads metadata.json - Without metadata.json, it defaults to beads.db - Opens empty beads.db instead of test.db with the seeded issues - Additionally, FindBeadsDir() was finding the real .beads dir, not the test one Fixes applied: 1. TestFallbackToDirectModeEnablesFlush: Add metadata.json pointing to test.db and chdir to temp dir 2. TestImportFromJSONLInlineAfterDaemonDisconnect: Same fix 3. TestIsBeadsPluginInstalledProjectLevel: Set temp HOME to avoid detecting plugin from real ~/.claude/settings.json All three tests now pass.

bd - Beads
Distributed, git-backed graph issue tracker for AI agents.
Beads provides a persistent, structured memory for coding agents. It replaces messy markdown plans with a dependency-aware graph, allowing agents to handle long-horizon tasks without losing context.
⚡ Quick Start
# Install (macOS/Linux/FreeBSD)
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/steveyegge/beads/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
# Initialize (Humans run this once)
bd init
# Tell your agent
echo "Use 'bd' for task tracking" >> AGENTS.md
🛠 Features
- Git as Database: Issues stored as JSONL in
.beads/. Versioned, branched, and merged like code. - Agent-Optimized: JSON output, dependency tracking, and auto-ready task detection.
- Zero Conflict: Hash-based IDs (
bd-a1b2) prevent merge collisions in multi-agent/multi-branch workflows. - Invisible Infrastructure: SQLite local cache for speed; background daemon for auto-sync.
- Compaction: Semantic "memory decay" summarizes old closed tasks to save context window.
📖 Essential Commands
| Command | Action |
|---|---|
bd ready |
List tasks with no open blockers. |
bd create "Title" -p 0 |
Create a P0 task. |
bd dep add <child> <parent> |
Link tasks (blocks, related, parent-child). |
bd show <id> |
View task details and audit trail. |
🔗 Hierarchy & Workflow
Beads supports hierarchical IDs for epics:
bd-a3f8(Epic)bd-a3f8.1(Task)bd-a3f8.1.1(Sub-task)
Stealth Mode: Run bd init --stealth to use Beads locally without committing files to the main repo. Perfect for personal use on shared projects.
Contributor vs Maintainer: When working on open-source projects:
- Contributors (forked repos): Run
bd init --contributorto route planning issues to a separate repo (e.g.,~/.beads-planning). Keeps experimental work out of PRs. - Maintainers (write access): Beads auto-detects maintainer role via SSH URLs or HTTPS with credentials. Only need
git config beads.role maintainerif using GitHub HTTPS without credentials but you have write access.
📦 Installation
- npm:
npm install -g @beads/bd - Homebrew:
brew install beads - Go:
go install github.com/steveyegge/beads/cmd/bd@latest
Requirements: Linux, FreeBSD, macOS, or Windows.
