Beads Scripts

Utility scripts for maintaining the beads project.

ci/

Repository-owned CI command wrappers. These scripts are the source of truth for the target CI tiers; Make targets are aliases for local discoverability.

bash
make ci-pr-core
make ci-pr-policy
make ci-pr-lint
make ci-package-mcp
make ci-package-npm
make ci-website

Each wrapper auto-detects the repository root, sources .buildflags when it invokes Go in the default build mode, and records per-command timing through scripts/ci/lib/timing.sh.

Broad Go test wrappers also source scripts/ci/lib/test-env.sh, which creates a temporary HOME/XDG/Dolt root, isolates Git global/system config, clears runtime Beads/Dolt environment variables, and sets BEADS_TEST_SKIP=dolt before tests run. This keeps local make test and make ci-pr-core results comparable to the fast PR-core contract even on shared agent hosts. Set BEADS_TEST_ENV_RUN_DOLT=1 only when intentionally running the Dolt-dependent tests through these broad wrappers, or BEADS_TEST_ENV_DISABLE=1 when debugging against your real local configuration.

The broad Go wrappers also cap package and test parallelism to 4 by default (GO_TEST_PKG_PARALLEL and GO_TEST_PARALLEL). This avoids turning high-core shared hosts into a different test topology than GitHub Actions.

make ci-pr-policy includes scripts/check-testing-short.sh, which enforces that testing.Short() is only used for runtime, stress, or large-fixture skips. Use build tags, environment checks, or named wrappers for integration/e2e/API boundaries.

Package gate wrappers validate publishable/package-adjacent surfaces:

  • make ci-package-mcp builds or consumes a bd binary, puts it on PATH as bd, then runs locked MCP package uv sync, Ruff, mypy, pytest, and build checks.
  • make ci-package-npm builds or consumes the native binary expected by npm-package/bin/bd, runs the npm package test suite, and checks npm pack --dry-run.
  • make ci-website runs website dependency install, typecheck, llms-full.txt generation, and Docusaurus build.

Set BEADS_TEST_BD_BINARY=/path/to/bd for MCP and npm package gates to reuse a prebuilt candidate binary instead of rebuilding it inside the wrapper.

pr-preflight.sh

Read-only PR safety check for agents and maintainers.

bash
# Before implementing or opening a related PR
./scripts/pr-preflight.sh --search "topic keywords" --repo gastownhall/beads

# Before changing, closing, or merging an existing PR
./scripts/pr-preflight.sh 123 --repo gastownhall/beads

It reports contributor/fork status, draft/review/merge/check state, risky diff signals such as .beads/ changes or missing tests, and the required contributor-protection next steps. It does not replace code review or local validation.

gh-body-lint

Lint Markdown files before posting them with gh ... --body-file.

bash
./scripts/gh-body-lint body.md
./scripts/gh-body-lint --fix body.md

The lint catches literal \n sequences, which render poorly on GitHub, and GH#123 references, which do not auto-link like #123 or owner/repo#123.

release.sh (⭐ The Easy Button)

One-command release from version bump to local installation.

Usage

bash
# Full release (does everything)
./scripts/release.sh 0.9.3

# Preview what would happen
./scripts/release.sh 0.9.3 --dry-run

What It Does

This master script automates the entire release process:

  1. ✅ Stops running Dolt servers (avoids version conflicts)
  2. ✅ Runs tests and linting
  3. ✅ Bumps version in all files
  4. ✅ Commits and pushes version bump
  5. ✅ Creates and pushes git tag
  6. ✅ Updates Homebrew formula
  7. ✅ Upgrades local brew installation
  8. ✅ Verifies everything works

After this script completes, your system is running the new version!

Examples

bash
# Release version 0.9.3
./scripts/release.sh 0.9.3

# Preview a release (no changes made)
./scripts/release.sh 1.0.0 --dry-run

Prerequisites

  • Clean git working directory
  • All changes committed
  • golangci-lint installed
  • Homebrew installed (for local upgrade)
  • Push access to gastownhall/beads

Output

The script provides colorful, step-by-step progress output:

  • 🟨 Yellow: Current step
  • 🟩 Green: Step completed
  • 🟥 Red: Errors
  • 🟦 Blue: Section headers

What Happens Next

After the script finishes:

  • GitHub Actions builds binaries for all platforms (~5 minutes)
  • PyPI package is published automatically
  • Users can brew upgrade beads to get the new version
  • GitHub Release is created with binaries and changelog

bump-version.sh

Bumps the version number across all beads components in a single command.

Usage

bash
# Show usage
./scripts/bump-version.sh

# Update versions (shows diff, no commit)
./scripts/bump-version.sh 0.9.3

# Update versions and auto-commit
./scripts/bump-version.sh 0.9.3 --commit

What It Does

Updates version in all these files:

  • cmd/bd/version.go - bd CLI version constant
  • plugins/beads/.claude-plugin/plugin.json - Claude plugin version
  • plugins/beads/.codex-plugin/plugin.json - Codex plugin version
  • .claude-plugin/marketplace.json - Claude marketplace plugin version
  • integrations/beads-mcp/pyproject.toml - MCP server version
  • README.md - Alpha status version
  • PLUGIN.md - Version requirements

Features

  • Validates semantic versioning format (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH)
  • Verifies all versions match after update
  • Shows git diff of changes
  • Auto-commits with standardized message (optional)
  • Cross-platform compatible (macOS and Linux)

Examples

bash
# Bump to 0.9.3 and review changes
./scripts/bump-version.sh 0.9.3
# Review the diff, then manually commit

# Bump to 1.0.0 and auto-commit
./scripts/bump-version.sh 1.0.0 --commit
git push origin main

Why This Script Exists

Previously, version bumps only updated cmd/bd/version.go, leaving other components out of sync. This script ensures all version numbers stay consistent across the project.

Safety

  • Checks for uncommitted changes before proceeding
  • Refuses to auto-commit if there are existing uncommitted changes
  • Validates version format before making any changes
  • Verifies all versions match after update
  • Shows diff for review before commit

sign-windows.sh

Signs Windows executables with an Authenticode certificate using osslsigncode.

Usage

bash
# Sign a Windows executable
./scripts/sign-windows.sh path/to/bd.exe

# Environment variables required for signing:
export WINDOWS_SIGNING_CERT_PFX_BASE64="<base64-encoded-pfx>"
export WINDOWS_SIGNING_CERT_PASSWORD="<certificate-password>"

What It Does

This script is called automatically by GoReleaser during the release process:

  1. Decodes the PFX certificate from base64
  2. Signs the Windows executable using osslsigncode
  3. Timestamps the signature using DigiCert's RFC3161 server
  4. Replaces the original binary with the signed version
  5. Verifies the signature was applied correctly

Prerequisites

  • osslsigncode installed (apt install osslsigncode or brew install osslsigncode)
  • EV code signing certificate exported as PFX file
  • GitHub secrets configured:
    • WINDOWS_SIGNING_CERT_PFX_BASE64 - base64-encoded PFX file
    • WINDOWS_SIGNING_CERT_PASSWORD - certificate password

Graceful Degradation

If the signing secrets are not configured:

  • The script prints a warning and exits successfully
  • GoReleaser continues without signing
  • The release proceeds with unsigned Windows binaries

This allows releases to work before a certificate is acquired.

Why This Script Exists

Windows code signing helps reduce antivirus false positives that affect Go binaries. Kaspersky and other AV software commonly flag unsigned Go executables as potentially malicious due to heuristic detection. See docs/ANTIVIRUS.md for details.

Future Scripts

Additional maintenance scripts may be added here as needed.
