Summary

This PR completes the tbd V1 CLI implementation across 25 phases of development:

  • Core Implementation (Phases 1-11): Full CLI with create, list, show, update, close, reopen, search, label, dependency management
  • Polish & Testing (Phases 12-17): Tryscript golden tests, security hardening, CI configuration
  • Bug Fixes & Architecture (Phases 18-21): Worktree architecture, directory naming refactor, atomic file operations
  • Agent Integration (Phases 22-25): Short ID preservation during import, requireInit() enforcement, prime/setup/uninstall commands, status command

Key Features:

  • 187 vitest unit tests passing
  • 420 tryscript golden tests passing
  • Commands: prime, setup claude/cursor/codex, uninstall, status
  • Import preserves original beads short IDs
  • Documentation uses consistent --option=value syntax

Test Coverage

Validation Plan

See valid-2026-01-15-tbd-v1-implementation.md for complete validation details.

Manual Validation

Phase 24-25 Commands

  • tbd status - Works in initialized and uninitialized states
  • tbd prime - Outputs workflow context for AI agents
  • tbd prime --full / --mcp - Mode selection works
  • tbd setup claude - Creates Claude Code hooks
  • tbd setup cursor - Creates Cursor rules
  • tbd setup codex - Creates AGENTS.md section
  • tbd uninstall --all - Removes all integrations

Import Validation

# Initialize and import from beads
rm -rf .tbd && tbd init
tbd import --from-beads --verbose
tbd import --validate
tbd list --all | wc -l  # Should show ~100+ issues

requireInit() Enforcement

cd /tmp && mkdir test-dir && cd test-dir
tbd list  # Should error: "Not initialized. Run 'tbd init' first."
tbd status  # Should work (shows not initialized)

Move sync tests from cli-advanced.tryscript.md to a dedicated file
that properly documents the critical sync commit behavior:

- Tests that verify files are committed before push
- Tests for sync status command
- Tests for error handling with missing remotes
- Tests for idempotent sync behavior

This makes it clear that sync commit verification is a core workflow
requirement, not an "advanced" feature.

Replace tbd info with tbd status - a git-like orientation command that
works without initialization. Unlike Beads where bd status is an alias
for bd stats, tbd status is a distinct orientation command.

- Update tbd-design-v3.md with full status command spec
- Add Phase 25 to implementation plan with tasks tbd-1890 through tbd-1895
- Create beads for Phase 25 work

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Create beads for status command work:
- tbd-1890: Phase 25 Epic
- tbd-1891: Implement tbd status command
- tbd-1892: Add beads detection
- tbd-1893: Add integration detection
- tbd-1894: Remove info command
- tbd-1895: Golden tests for status

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Create comprehensive sync test file to verify critical commit behavior:
- Tests that files written to worktree are committed before push
- Tests for multiple issues and batch syncing
- Tests for sync --status command and JSON output
- Tests for error handling with missing remotes
- Tests for idempotent sync behavior

Move detailed sync tests out of cli-advanced.tryscript.md to this
dedicated file, keeping only smoke tests in advanced.

This makes it clear that sync commit verification is a core workflow
requirement, not an "advanced" feature.

Add comprehensive tryscript golden tests for three command groups:

cli-prime.tryscript.md (21 tests):
- Prime in initialized vs uninitialized project
- Prime --full, --mcp, --export flags
- Custom PRIME.md override behavior

cli-setup-commands.tryscript.md (35 tests):
- Setup claude --check and --dry-run (safe operations only)
- Setup cursor: install, check, remove
- Setup codex: create, update, remove AGENTS.md

cli-uninstall.tryscript.md (27 tests):
- Uninstall without confirmation (preview)
- Uninstall --confirm (full cleanup)
- Uninstall --keep-branch option
- Uninstall --dry-run mode

Total: 83 new golden tests, bringing tryscript total to 438.

Implement `tbd status` as the orientation command that works without
initialization (like `git status`). Unlike Beads where `bd status` is
an alias for `bd stats`, `tbd status` is a distinct orientation command.

Status command features:
- Works pre-init: shows git repo, beads detection, init suggestions
- Post-init: shows config, issue summary, integration status
- Detects integrations: Claude Code hooks, Cursor rules, Codex AGENTS.md
- JSON output support with --json flag

Changes:
- Add src/cli/commands/status.ts with StatusHandler
- Remove src/cli/commands/info.ts (replaced by status)
- Update cli.ts to use statusCommand instead of infoCommand
- Update README.md, tbd-docs.md with status command docs
- Add cli-status.tryscript.md golden tests
- Update all test files referencing info to use status
- Close beads tbd-1890 through tbd-1895

Remove the --mcp and --full flags along with the MCP auto-detection
logic. tbd prime now always outputs the full workflow context.

Changes:
- Remove isMcpEnabled() function that checked ~/.claude/settings.json
- Remove MCP_MODE_OUTPUT constant (minimal ~50 token output)
- Remove --mcp and --full CLI options
- Rename CLI_MODE_OUTPUT to PRIME_OUTPUT for clarity

The MCP detection was dead code since tbd doesn't provide an MCP server.
Simplifying to always output full context matches actual usage.

- Add sort.ts with naturalCompare/naturalSort for stable alphanumeric ordering
- Use extractUlidFromInternalId() helper instead of manual regex in import.ts, list.ts, idMapping.ts
- Add secondary sort by short ID in list command for deterministic output
- Use naturalSort in idMapping for consistent YAML output
- Add INTERNAL_ID_PREFIX constant to ids.ts
- Add test for invalid --title option in cli-crud.tryscript.md

…-1905)

All YAML scenario tests were already migrated to tryscript format in commit 89528ad.
The performance tests were timing out because:
1. beforeEach was writing 1000 files before EACH test (not once)
2. Sequential file writes took >10s, exceeding the default hook timeout

Fixed by:
- Using beforeAll instead of beforeEach for expensive setup
- Creating dedicated temp directories per describe block
- Writing files in parallel batches of 50 for faster I/O
- Adding explicit 60s timeout for setup hooks
- Proper cleanup with afterAll

Test duration reduced from potential 5×10s timeouts to ~6s total.

Commander.js's addCommand() does not inherit configureHelp() settings
from the parent command. This caused subcommand help (e.g., tbd list
--help) to be uncolored while the main program help was colored.

Added applyColoredHelpToAllCommands() function that recursively applies
the colored help configuration to all commands after they are added
to the program. Also updated research doc to correct the misinformation
about configureHelp() propagation.

Add colored epilog text at the bottom of all help commands
displaying: "For more on tbd, see: https://github.com/jlevy/tbd"

The epilog is rendered in blue and respects the --color option.

Also fix: use colors.id instead of colors.cyan in docs command
(colors.id is semantically correct for slugs and uses cyan internally)

…liases

Replace all short option aliases (-t, -p, -d, -f, -l) with their full
equivalents (--type, --priority, --description, --file, --label) in
documentation. This prepares for removing short option support to reduce
CLI surface area and improve clarity.

Also includes doc structure improvements and formatting updates.

- Replace short options (-t, -p, -d, -f, -l) with full equivalents
  (--type, --priority, --description, --file, --label) in all test files
- Update expected help output to include new readme command
- Add "For more on tbd" footer to help output expectations
- Add cli-import-autoinit.tryscript.md for auto-init during import
- Fix spacing issues with --description and --label arguments
- Normalize "TBD" to "tbd" in test file titles

Change all CLI option examples from space-separated format (--type bug)
to equals-separated format (--type=bug) for consistency. Both formats
work with Commander.js, but the equals format is more explicit and
GNU-style.

Updated files:

- README.md - Quick start examples
- docs/project/architecture/current/tbd-design-v3.md - Design document
- packages/tbd-cli/src/docs/ - Embedded documentation copies

…tency

Match Beads CLI convention by using 'tbd dep' instead of 'tbd depends'
for dependency management commands. This aligns with the design spec
and maintains familiar command names for users migrating from Beads.

Changes:
- Rename depends.ts to dep.ts
- Update cli.ts imports to use depCommand
- Update all tryscript tests to use 'tbd dep' command
- Update documentation (README.md, tbd-docs.md)

Update expected output to match current CLI behavior:
- Remove -V short flag test (option no longer exists)
- Update help output: `--help` instead of `-h, --help`
- Update help output: `dep` instead of `depends` (renamed command)
- Update status output: `Tbd` capitalization

- Fix Git repository line to match actual output format

Note: --sync-branch and --remote init options are not currently
applied (tracked as bug for future fix).

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.

Design decisions applied:
- Remove AI spec review from v1 (harness expects finished spec)
- Move human_review gate to Phase 2 (after decomposition)
- Agents receive entire frozen spec (no section extraction)
- Cycle detection in buildDependencyGraph() — fail fast
- Deadlock detection in scheduler (blocked-bead deadlock)
- Process group killing via detached: true + kill(-pid)
- Resume re-reads harness.yml for operational config changes
- Trust agent push (no post-completion verification)

New sections:
- Example Agent Prompt (complete prompt template)
- Known Limitations (soft isolation, spec tampering, Unix-only, no cost controls, LWW)
- Deadlock Detection (cycle + blocked-bead scenarios)

Fixes:
- Pipeline diagram: removed AI review box, fixed "dedicated" → "fresh" worktree
- Agent Pool Model: "dedicated worktree" → "fresh ephemeral worktree"
- JudgeResult.newBeads: added 'feature' type
- Config YAML: human_review under phases.decompose with correct comment
- Defaults: added guidelines, completion checks, acceptance model
- Open Questions: resolved jlevy#1 (entire spec) and jlevy#6 (port algorithm)
- Code Organization: added lib/graph.ts
- Process Lifecycle: spawn with detached:true, SIGTERM targets process groups
- Testing: added cycle detection, deadlock, process group, resume config tests
- Future Work: added preview-acceptance, spec review phase, Windows, hash verify
