Simplify ccu agent entry instructions and route development detail; independent source review passed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Configuration

    • Automatic JSONL imports and exports are disabled by default.
    • Shared Dolt server usage and automatic Git staging after export are disabled by default.
    • Project metadata now uses embedded Dolt mode and the updated database configuration.
  • Documentation

    • Added consolidated development guidance covering CCU integration, CLI behavior, configuration, packaging, and testing.
    • Updated contributor and assistant instructions to reference the new guidance.
  • Chores

    • Added ignore rules for generated database, export, agent, and project files.
    • Cleared previously tracked issue records.

The shared Dolt server on 127.0.0.1:3306 is no longer used by this repository.
The Dolt remote stays the cross-machine sync path; only the local engine moves
from server to in-process operation.

dolt_mode in .beads/metadata.json selects the mode -- dolt.shared-server in
config.yaml alone is not sufficient.

Verified: 44:a5c485bda72f49e8:+0oth unchanged, bd dolt push and pull both succeed.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes configure Beads to use embedded Dolt settings, remove tracked issues, expand ignore rules, and replace generic agent instructions with CCU CLI development guidance.

Changes

Repository configuration and agent guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Beads repository settings
.beads/config.yaml, .beads/metadata.json, .gitignore
Beads now uses explicit Dolt, import, and export settings. Metadata identifies the embedded database and project. Ignore rules cover Dolt, Beads exports, and managed agent files.
Agent development guidance
AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, docs/agent-development-reference.md
Agent instructions now reference CCU CLI scope, testing boundaries, hahomematic documentation, configuration resolution, packaging, and release conventions.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6b40a

Clones may retain stale issue data or fail to share local updates, and generated database files may enter Git. Resolve the Beads synchronization and ignore rules before merging.

Document and configure the Dolt remote workflow.

metadata.json selects embedded Dolt, while .beads/config.yaml disables automatic JSONL import, export, and Git staging. However, .beads/README.md says that .beads/issues.jsonl is always synchronized and directs users to bd sync. It does not document sync.remote or bd dolt pull/bd dolt push. Users can therefore leave a clone's Dolt database stale or keep local changes unshared. Configure the intended Dolt remote and document its workflow, or restore a complete explicit JSONL import/export workflow. Do not describe this setup as automatically synchronized.

site:github.com/gastownhall/beads embeddeddolt .beads embedded Dolt store files

💡 Result:

In the context of the Beads (bd) project, embeddeddolt refers to the embedded mode of the Dolt storage engine [1][2]. When using Beads in its default embedded mode, the Dolt database engine runs in-process [2][3]. In this configuration, Beads stores its data files within the.beads/embeddeddolt/ directory [1][4]. Because it operates in-process, no separate server process, ports, or PID files are required, making it the recommended mode for solo development and single-agent workflows [2][4][5]. Key technical details regarding the storage include: Data Location: Files are stored at.beads/embeddeddolt/ within your project directory [2][4]. Concurrency: Embedded mode is strictly single-writer, enforced via file locking [1][3]. Migration: If concurrent access by multiple agents or processes is required, users typically switch to server mode, which stores data in a different directory (typically.beads/dolt/) and connects to an external Dolt SQL server [2][4]. Implementation: The storage logic is implemented within the Beads codebase under internal/storage/embeddeddolt/, where it handles SQL connections and database initialization [6][7]. Note that while server mode (often associated with.beads/dolt/) is a distinct operational state, historical issues have noted that some versions of Beads might inadvertently create empty artifacts in the.beads/dolt/ path when running in embedded mode [8]. However, the canonical location for data in embedded mode remains.beads/embeddeddolt/ [1][4].

Ignore .beads/embeddeddolt/.

Beads stores embedded Dolt data in this directory. The current .beads/.gitignore ignores selected database filenames but not the directory itself. Add .beads/embeddeddolt/ to an applicable ignore file.
