Anyone using beads should switch to something else that isn't insane. If you like beads, https://github.com/hmans/beans works the same (not my project), just that its serdes is markdown files with front matter, in a dot folder. Like every sane solution. No daemons, no sync branches. I cannot guarantee the project at all, but at least its better than beads. Or make your own; this is one example of one such project.

I really don't get the point. An LLM can easily, flexibly, and masterfully track commented hierarchal yaml todo lists without breaking a sweat, with zero lines of code.

It's like writing a 275k line C++ program just to printf("You are absolutely correct!") when ChatGPT can do that for you with a one line prompt in just one shot.
