STORY:
The session backend needed to aggregate agent health from a live
telemetry stream rather than static bead metadata. This refactor
makes liveness signals real-time and accurate.
COLLABORATION:
We extended the ActivityEvent model with a native 'heartbeat' kind,
updated extendActivityLease() to emit through the activity bus, and
refactored getAgentLivenessMap() to prioritize heartbeat activity
history over stale bead metadata.
DELIVERABLES:
- ActivityEvent extended with 'heartbeat' kind
- extendActivityLease() emits heartbeats through activity bus
- getAgentLivenessMap() prefers telemetry over static metadata
- Registry APIs support projectRoot injection for testing
- Tests verify preference logic via TDD
VERIFICATION:
- 93/93 tests PASSING
- Heartbeat override verified in isolated temp projects
CLOSES: bb-buff.1.3
BLOCKS: bb-buff.3.2, bb-buff.3.3, bb-buff.2.1
We completed the 'Deep Metadata Etch' today, transforming our Beads issues from simple trackers into a permanent narrative of our collaboration.
Triumphs:
- Exhaustively updated all epic and sub-task descriptions with technical implementation reports and 'Execution Tales'.
- Finalized the 'bb' agent CLI skill (bb.ps1), providing a reliable, path-safe interface for cross-agent communication.
- Published ADR-001 and RFC-001 to document our coordination protocols.
- Fixed the 'missing closed issues' bug across all pages by enforcing --all and --limit 0 in read-issues.ts.
Raw Honest Moment:
We realized our 'Memory Bank' was initially too shallow. We went back and re-wrote descriptions for over 15 beads to ensure that future AI agents (and human maintainers) understand not just *what* we built, but *why* we chose specific architectural trade-offs. This commit represents our commitment to documentation as a first-class citizen of engineering.
