{"id":"gt-01u","title":"Design: Collapse mail into beads","description":"## Proposal\n\nReplace the separate mail system (JSONL inboxes) with beads issues using a naming convention.\n\n## Rationale\n\nIf all state should be in beads (work items, swarm state, dependencies), why have a separate system for messages? Mail is just:\n- Handoffs (agent → self)\n- Commands (Mayor → Refinery)\n- Escalations (Witness → Mayor)\n\nThese can all be beads issues with a special prefix.\n\n## Design\n\n### Convention\n- Messages use `@-` prefix: `@-witness-1734012345`\n- Assignee = recipient\n- Status: open = unread, closed = read/acknowledged\n- Priority 0 = urgent\n\n### Commands (thin wrappers)\n```bash\ngt mail send witness -s \"Subject\" -m \"Body\"\n → bd create --prefix=@ --title=\"Subject\" --assignee=witness --description=\"Body\"\n\ngt mail inbox\n → bd list --prefix=@ --assignee=$(gt whoami) --status=open\n\ngt mail read @-abc\n → bd show @-abc \u0026\u0026 bd close @-abc\n```\n\n### Notification\nDaemon watches for new `@-` issues and pokes relevant sessions.\nOr: agents poll on heartbeat (simpler).\n\n## What We Remove\n- `mail/inbox.jsonl` files\n- Mail JSONL read/write code\n- Separate delivery mechanism\n\n## What We Keep\n- `gt mail` CLI (as wrapper)\n- Handoff semantics\n- Notification (via daemon or polling)\n\n## Benefits\n- One system, one sync, one query interface\n- All communication in git history\n- Simpler architecture\n\n## Risks\n- Beads prefix filtering must be efficient\n- Namespace collision with user prefixes\n- Performance for high-frequency messages (probably fine for handoffs)\n\n## Decision Point\nDo we need first-class mail support in beads (`bd mail` commands) or is convention sufficient?","status":"closed","priority":1,"issue_type":"task","created_at":"2025-12-16T02:10:18.32879-08:00","updated_at":"2025-12-16T13:12:16.46526-08:00","closed_at":"2025-12-16T13:12:16.46526-08:00"}
