I tried a multi-agent 'ralph loop' to burn down some pending work, went on a walk, and came back to some corruption:
david@davidbox:~/projects/ja$ agentfs diff ralph
Using agent: ralph
Error: database error: invalid page size in database header: 24947
asked an agent to reconcile:
There are two repo-health problems mixed into this worktree: .beads/config.yaml is padded with NUL bytes, and Git has at least one corrupt loose object. I’m verifying whether the actual code is otherwise
landable before I decide between repairing and committing versus backing out just the broken metadata.

decide whether to repair the repo metadata in place so I can validate, close beads, and push cleanly.

parallel I’m preparing a non-destructive Git repair path so I can actually commit and push if it passes.
