bd set-state

Atomically set operational state on an issue.

This command:

  1. Creates an event bead recording the state change (source of truth)
  2. Removes any existing label for the dimension
  3. Adds the new dimension:value label (fast lookup cache)

State labels follow the convention <dimension>:<value>, for example: patrol:active, patrol:muted mode:normal, mode:degraded health:healthy, health:failing

Examples: bd set-state agent-abc patrol=muted --reason "Investigating stuck worker" bd set-state agent-abc mode=degraded --reason "High error rate detected" bd set-state agent-abc health=healthy

The --reason flag provides context for the event bead (recommended).

bd set-state <issue-id> <dimension>=<value> [flags]

Flags:

      --reason string   Reason for the state change (recorded in event)
