Why can't you use an issue tracker that is built into the git control, like forgejo? It feels like it would be easy to use this with an API key, out or direct database access (I'm doing both with agents). If you self host, you've got a very standard and reliable issue tracker. Why does beads need to exist? What can't an agent do with that setup I've described above?

I believe the idea is that it's for managing many fine-grained todo's to keep the agents on track. When multiple code agents are working at the same time and when there's a merge conflict, the code agents can do the merges, too.

But yeah, I'm only running one code agent at a time, so that's not a problem I have. I should probably start with just a todo list as plain text.
