Beads Issue Tracker

This project uses bd (beads) for issue tracking. Run bd prime to see full workflow context and commands.

Quick Reference

bd ready              # Find available work
bd show <id>          # View issue details
bd update <id> --claim  # Claim work
bd close <id>         # Complete work

Rules

• Use bd for ALL task tracking — do NOT use TodoWrite, TaskCreate, or markdown TODO lists
• Run bd prime for detailed command reference and session close protocol
• Use bd remember for persistent knowledge — do NOT use MEMORY.md files

Session Completion

When ending a work session, you MUST complete ALL steps below. Work is NOT complete until git push succeeds.

MANDATORY WORKFLOW:

1. File issues for remaining work - Create issues for anything that needs follow-up
2. Run quality gates (if code changed) - Tests, linters, builds
3. Update issue status - Close finished work, update in-progress items
4. PUSH TO REMOTE - This is MANDATORY:

   git pull --rebase
   bd dolt push
   git push
   git status  # MUST show "up to date with origin"
   

5. Clean up - Clear stashes, prune remote branches
6. Verify - All changes committed AND pushed
7. Hand off - Provide context for next session

CRITICAL RULES:

• Work is NOT complete until git push succeeds
• NEVER stop before pushing - that leaves work stranded locally
• NEVER say "ready to push when you are" - YOU must push
• If push fails, resolve and retry until it succeeds

Minimal Repo Operating Instructions

This is a Bun + TypeScript monorepo for an event-sourced market-data pipeline:

• Flow: ingest services publish to NATS/JetStream, compute/candles derive events, API serves REST/WS, web consumes live/replay streams.
• Main folders: services/* (runtime services), packages/* (shared libs/types/storage), apps/web (Next.js UI).
• Infra dependency: local dev assumes Docker services (NATS, ClickHouse, Redis) are available.

Use these repo-specific commands:

• Install deps: bun install
• Start full stack: bun run dev
• Start infra only: bun run dev:infra
• Start backend services only: bun run dev:services
• Start web only: bun run dev:web

Testing and validation in this repo are Bun-first:

• Run tests: bun test
• Run scoped tests: bun test services/compute/tests (or another package/service path)
• Validate web production build when UI code changes: bun --cwd=apps/web run build

Working style that avoids common problems here:

• Prefer editing in the touched workspace (services/<name>, packages/<name>, apps/web) and keep shared contract changes in packages/types.
• Keep .env aligned with .env.example; adapters default to synthetic modes for local development.
• Dev runners persist child PID state in .tmp/; if a previous run crashed, restart via the standard bun run dev* commands so stale processes are cleaned up.

Required Turn Documentation

At the end of every completed implementation task, before final handoff, create a user-readable HTML document describing the work.

This documentation is mandatory whenever code, configuration, tests, or project files were changed.

Location

Save the document in:

docs/turns/

Use a clear timestamped filename:

docs/turns/YYYY-MM-DD-short-task-name.html

Example:

docs/turns/2026-05-14-add-market-replay-controls.html

Format

Use the impeccable skill to structure the document as clean, readable HTML.

If the impeccable skill is unavailable, still create a well-structured standalone HTML file with:

• A concise summary at the top
• A detailed explanation of what changed
• Relevant context or background
• Specific code snippets or examples when helpful
• Issues, limitations, tradeoffs, or mitigations
• Validation performed, including tests, builds, linters, or manual checks
• Any remaining follow-up work, with corresponding Beads issue IDs when applicable

Required Sections

Each turn document must include these sections:

1. Summary
2. Changes Made
3. Context
4. Important Implementation Details
5. Expected Impact for End-Users
6. Validation
7. Issues, Limitations, and Mitigations
8. Follow-up Work

Completion Rule

A task is not complete until:

1. The Beads workflow is updated
2. The turn document is created in docs/turns
3. Relevant quality gates have passed or failures are documented
4. Changes are committed
5. bd dolt push succeeds
6. git push succeeds
7. git status shows the branch is up to date with origin

For trivial changes, the document may be brief, but it must still exist and clearly explain what changed and how it was validated.

Plan Mode Documentation

When working in plan mode, do not modify implementation files.

At the end of plan mode, provide a concise summary of the plan and ask the user whether they want to proceed with implementation.

If the user asks to save the plan, create a user-readable HTML plan document in:

docs/plans/

Use a clear timestamped filename:

docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-short-plan-name.html

The plan document should be labeled clearly as a plan and should include:

1. Plan Summary
2. Goals
3. Proposed Changes
4. Relevant Context
5. Implementation Steps
6. Risks, Limitations, and Mitigations
7. Open Questions

Always do the following when you finish a task, finish the beads workflow and and make a commit:

• Document the changes in a user-readable format
• Use the impeccable skill to structure the document as HTML
• Create a clear, concise summary of the changes at the top, followed by a detailed description of the changes, including any relevant context or background as well as specific code snippets or examples.
• Note any relevant issues or limitations that were addressed or mitigated by the changes.
• The HTML file should be stored in the docs/turns directory. It should include the current date and time, as well as a brief explanation of changes. e.g. docs/turns/YYYY-MM-DD-{description}.html
