feat: tbd-cli v1 complete implementation#2
Merged
Conversation
Complete implementation plan for Tbd ("seeds") V1 with:
- 12 implementation phases covering file layer, git layer, CLI layer
- Key Design Details for each phase with TypeScript code examples
- Golden test examples using tryscript for TDD approach
- Field-level merge algorithm with LWW and attic preservation
- Beads import with ID mapping and dependency translation
- CLI architecture following BaseCommand pattern with OutputManager
Create a complete project skeleton for tbd-cli following modern TypeScript CLI patterns and monorepo best practices. Project structure: - pnpm workspaces with packages/tbd-cli - tsdown for ESM/CJS dual builds with git-based versioning - Commander.js CLI with base command pattern - Zod schemas for validation (with YAML null support) - Dual output mode (text + JSON) - GitHub Actions for CI/CD - Changesets for version management - lefthook for git hooks (lint, typecheck, test) - ESLint flat config with Prettier - publint validation for package exports All command stubs are implemented with proper type definitions. Tests pass for schemas and parser modules.

- Fix ESLint config: move prettier to LAST position (critical for proper override) - Add attic/ to ignores (ESLint, gitignore, prettierignore) - Switch to ESM-only build (simpler, matches markform) - Update GitHub Actions to v6 (checkout, setup-node) - Use Node 24 for release workflow - Simplify package.json exports to ESM-only format
Mark all P0/P1 items with resolution status: - ✅ COMPLETED: Items already addressed in skeleton (P0-1, P0-4) - ☑️ REVIEWED: Items with implementation guidance (P0-2/3/5/6/7, P1-*) Key decisions documented: - P0-2: Use base36 IDs (like Beads) for better UX - P0-3: Hidden worktree approach confirmed (design doc §2.3) - P0-5: spawn/execFile with args array (no shell) - P0-6: Use atomically package (like markform) Added verification notes for CLI and monorepo best practices showing current skeleton already implements most recommendations.
Configure beads for JSONL-only mode (no SQLite) for simplicity: - Issue prefix: tbd- (e.g., tbd-a3f2dd) - no-db: true (JSONL-only storage) - sync-branch: beads-sync (not main) - Git merge driver configured for JSONL conflict resolution Update AGENTS.md with session completion workflow including bd sync.
- Replace 6-char hex IDs with ULIDs for internal IDs (128-bit, time-sorted) - Add 4-char base36 short IDs for user-facing external IDs - Add ID mapping file (.tbd-sync/mappings/ids.yml) - Enables cross-project issue merging without internal ID collisions - Update npm dependencies to latest versions Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

- show: Displays issues with colored YAML+Markdown format - update: Supports field updates, label add/remove, version increment - close: Sets status to closed with optional reason - reopen: Reopens closed issues, optionally appends reason to notes All commands use proper ID normalization and error handling. Added 8 tests for close/reopen functionality.
- ready: Lists open, unassigned issues with no unresolved blockers - blocked: Lists explicitly blocked issues and those with blockers - stale: Lists issues not updated in N days (default: 7) Uses correct dependency model where "blocks" means the issue blocks its target. Added 6 tests for workflow command logic.
- label add/remove: Add or remove labels from issues - label list: Lists all labels in use with counts - depends add/remove: Manage "blocks" dependencies between issues - depends list: Shows what an issue blocks and what blocks it Added 7 tests for label and dependency management.
- info: Shows tbd version, config, and issue count - stats: Shows issue counts by status, kind, and priority Both commands read actual data from the issue store.
- search: Full-text search across title, description, notes, labels - Case-insensitive matching - Snippet extraction around matches - Status filter support - config show/get/set: Read and modify configuration - Supports nested keys (e.g., sync.branch) - Type coercion for booleans and numbers
- Migrate from 6-char hex IDs to 26-char ULID format per spec - Use ulid package for ID generation - Update IssueId schema validation for ULID format - Add ShortId and ExternalIssueIdInput schemas for display IDs Enhanced commands: - doctor: Add comprehensive health checks - sync: Add status, pull, push operations - attic: Add conflict archive management - import: Add Beads JSONL import with ID mapping Tests: - Add test-helpers.ts with standardized ULID test constants - Update all test files to use ULID format IDs - Add attic-import.test.ts and doctor-sync.test.ts All 98 tests pass.
Add golden test infrastructure with ULID and timestamp normalization: - tests/golden/runner.ts: CLI runner with output normalization - tests/golden/golden.test.ts: E2E test scenarios - tests/golden/scenarios/*.yaml: Golden files for comparison Golden tests verify: - Core workflow (create, list, show) - Update and close operations - Error handling for missing issues - Input validation - Dry-run mode - Info command Use UPDATE_GOLDEN=1 to regenerate golden files after intentional changes.

- Add benchmark.ts script for 5K issue performance testing - Add validate-import.ts for full import validation workflow - Add import --validate command to verify imports against Beads - Update CI workflow with cross-platform matrix (Linux, macOS, Windows) - Add tmp/ to gitignore for validation test directory Beads updates: - tbd-1203, tbd-1204, tbd-1303, tbd-1304: Done (performance, CI) - Phase 15 beads (tbd-1600-1603): Import validation complete Test results: - 104 vitest + 21 tryscript tests passing - 97.47% line coverage - All CLI operations < 500ms on 5K issues
Expand CLI golden tests from 21 to 189 tests across 5 organized files: - cli-setup.tryscript.md: Help, version, init, info (~25 tests) - cli-crud.tryscript.md: Create/show/update/list/close/reopen (~60 tests) - cli-workflow.tryscript.md: Ready, blocked, stale, label, depends (~50 tests) - cli-advanced.tryscript.md: Search, sync, doctor, config, attic, stats (~45 tests) - cli-import.tryscript.md: Beads import, JSONL import, validation (~20 tests) All CLI commands and flags now have comprehensive golden test coverage. Adds Phase 16 beads (tbd-1700 through tbd-1706) for tracking.
- Update validation spec with comprehensive test coverage details - Part 1: All automated tests (104 vitest + 189 tryscript = 293 total) - Part 2: Agent manual testing performed during development - Part 3: User review items (engineering, product, import validation) - Part 4: Open questions requiring user decision - Update plan spec with Phase 15 and Phase 16 sections - Update bead tracking summary (112 done, 7 open) - Update test counts to 293 (was 125)
- Fix pnpm version conflict in GitHub Actions by removing explicit version (now reads from packageManager field in package.json) - Update pnpm to 10.28.0 (from 10.27.0) - Update Node.js to LTS 22 in CI (from 20) - Update npm dependencies to latest minor versions: - eslint 9.39.2, prettier 3.8.0, typescript 5.9.3 - vitest 2.1.9, @vitest/coverage-v8 2.1.9 - zod 3.25.76, yaml 2.8.2 - Add Phase 17 beads (tbd-1800 through tbd-1805) - Update plan spec with Phase 17 section
- Fix golden test temp path normalization for macOS and Windows - macOS: /private/var/folders/.../tbd-golden-XXXXXXXX - Windows: C:\Users\...\tbd-golden-XXXXXXXX - Use sparse checkout on Windows to exclude docs with ':' in filenames (Windows doesn't allow colons in file names) - Add beads tbd-1806, tbd-1807 for cross-platform fixes
Windows doesn't support ':' in file paths. The docs/general directory contains shortcut files named like 'shortcut:setup-beads.md' which cannot be checked out on Windows. This is tracked as tbd-1807. To re-enable Windows CI: 1. Rename all shortcut files to use a different separator (e.g., '--') 2. Or move them to a separate repository Tests pass on Linux and macOS, which covers the primary use case.
- tbd-1807: Updated to reflect Windows CI exclusion status (open) - tbd-1808: New bead for renaming shortcut: to shortcut- prefix

Merged Beads vs tbd comparison into main review document. Now includes: Bugs (6 total): - #1: Exit codes return 0 on errors (CRITICAL) - #2: Dependency direction semantics confusing - #3: Search outputs message with --quiet - #4: Doctor warns on empty issues dir - #5: Import changes ID prefix - #6: Errors not JSON with --json flag Enhancements (20 total): - Critical (3): exit codes, npm publish, git version check - High (5): dep semantics, error JSON, tests, docs, import prefix - Medium (7): brief flag, templates, query DSL, batch ops, etc. - Low (5): history, GitHub sync, plugins, index, auto-links Key finding: tbd's single session protocol is better than Beads' 5 conditional protocols. Keep it simple.
