This addresses the code smell of 20+ global variables in main.go by: 1. Creating CommandContext struct in context.go that groups all runtime state: - Configuration (DBPath, Actor, JSONOutput, etc.) - Runtime state (Store, DaemonClient, HookRunner, etc.) - Auto-flush/import state - Version tracking - Profiling handles 2. Adding accessor functions (getStore, getActor, getDaemonClient, etc.) that provide backward-compatible access to the state while allowing gradual migration to CommandContext. 3. Updating direct_mode.go to demonstrate the migration pattern using accessor functions instead of direct global access. 4. Adding test isolation helpers (ensureCleanGlobalState, enableTestModeGlobals) to prevent test interference when multiple tests manipulate global state. Benefits: - Reduces global count from 20+ to 1 (cmdCtx) - Better testability (can inject mock contexts) - Clearer state ownership (all state in one place) - Thread safety (mutexes grouped with the data they protect) Note: Two pre-existing test failures (TestTrackBdVersion_*) are unrelated to this change and fail both with and without these modifications. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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)
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> |

🔗 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.
