Summary

  • Add beads_rust as a third tracker backend alongside beads and seeds, wrapping the br CLI (Rust rewrite of bd)
  • Handle br's different JSON output shapes: envelope for list, flat arrays for ready/show, single object for create, atomic --claim, and sync --flush-only
  • Auto-detection in resolveBackend() prefers br over bd when both .beads/ exists and br is on PATH

Test plan

  • tsc --noEmit passes
  • biome check . passes
  • bun test src/tracker/factory.test.ts — 14/14 pass (new tests for beads_rust creation, explicit config, auto-detection, CLI name)
  • Manual: set taskTracker.backend: "beads_rust" in config.yaml and verify ov status works end-to-end

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Add a third tracker backend for the br CLI (Rust rewrite of bd) with
proper handling of its different JSON output shapes: flat arrays for
ready/show, envelope for list, single object for create, atomic --claim,
and sync --flush-only. Auto-detection prefers br over bd when available.

Move br CLI wrapping logic from the tracker adapter into a dedicated
src/beads-rust/client.ts, mirroring the src/beads/client.ts pattern.
The tracker adapter is now a thin layer that consumes the client.

Thank you for contributing to Overstory — I genuinely appreciate the time you put into this. I've wound down active maintenance and am archiving the repo, so I won't be able to merge it here. The project stays MIT-licensed and there are 200+ forks, so please feel free to carry this forward in a fork. For new work, Warren is overstory's successor. Thanks again. 🙏
