The hook files in .beads/hooks were copied from a machine's global hooks when the tracker was set up, so each one chains a lefthook or git-lfs call in front of the bd wrapper. This repo uses neither tool: there is no lefthook.yml and no .gitattributes with LFS rules. On a clone that points core.hooksPath at .beads/hooks but has no git-lfs installed, pre-push, post-checkout, post-merge and post-commit exit with "This repository is configured for Git LFS". The old commit-msg hook also deleted every line that mentioned Co-Authored-By, including ordinary sentences.

The fix makes .beads/hooks the same six files the other GeiserX repos carry:

  • The five bd 1.1.2 wrappers: pre-commit, prepare-commit-msg, pre-push, post-checkout, post-merge. post-commit is removed.
  • A commit-msg hook that deletes only lines starting with Co-Authored-By:, plus any blank lines left at the end.
  • A "Where the tracker syncs" note in CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md. In CLAUDE.md it goes after the beads block, which already sits below the LynxPrompt footer. The note says the tracker syncs only to the private Gitea remote and never to this public repo.
  • events.jsonl added to both .gitignore files, next to the two exports they already listed.

Checked in a scratch repo: a message with two trailers and a sentence that mentions the trailer keeps the sentence and loses both trailers. Without the hook, the trailer stays.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Commit messages are cleaned up more precisely: attribution lines are removed only when they begin a line, and trailing blank lines are trimmed. Commits stop with an error if the message cannot be safely updated.
  • Chores
    • Git hooks no longer automatically run Git LFS actions during checkout, commit, merge, or push.
    • The previous Lefthook wrappers have been removed from commit hooks.
    • Tracker event logs are excluded from version control.
  • Documentation
    • Repository guidance now clarifies where tracker data syncs and which remotes should not be used for that data.

…or git-lfs

Replace the seven chained hook files with the five bd 1.1.2 wrappers and the standard commit-msg hook. Add the note that the tracker syncs only to giteaer/Pumperly-beads, and ignore events.jsonl next to the other exports.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes update tracker ignore rules and sync guidance. They revise Beads-managed Git hooks, remove Git LFS and Lefthook behavior, and change how the commit-msg hook handles co-author trailers.

Changes

Beads Tracker and Git Hooks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Tracker ignores and sync guidance
.beads/.gitignore, .gitignore, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md
Both ignore files now exclude .beads/events.jsonl. The repository guidance identifies the configured private Dolt remote as the tracker’s sync target and says not to push Dolt refs to GitHub.
Beads-managed Git hooks
.beads/hooks/post-checkout, .beads/hooks/post-commit, .beads/hooks/post-merge, .beads/hooks/pre-commit, .beads/hooks/pre-push, .beads/hooks/prepare-commit-msg
The hooks use env-based shell shebangs and Beads v1.1.2 markers. Git LFS integration is removed from the checkout, merge, and push hooks, and the post-commit hook is deleted. The pre-commit and prepare-commit-msg Lefthook wrappers are removed.
Commit-message trailer handling
.beads/hooks/commit-msg
The hook skips missing message files, removes lines that begin with a case-insensitive Co-Authored-By: trailer, trims trailing blank lines, and replaces the message file only after writing and verifying a temporary file.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 82808

Confirm authorization for the CLAUDE.md addition and fix the hook’s failure check before merging. The hook issue affects the narrower case where verification fails but its comparison succeeds.

Review details

Systems and components

  • observed — AGENTS.md (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.
  • observed — CLAUDE.md (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in AGENTS.md: Adds repository-specific Beads sync guidance identifying the private Dolt remote configured in .beads/config.yaml and distinguishing it from the GitHub remote; it says not to add GitHub as a Dolt remote or push refs/dolt/* to it.
  • observed — Modified behavior in CLAUDE.md: Added guidance identifying the configured private Gitea Dolt remote as the tracker’s sole sync target and prohibiting adding the public GitHub repository as a Dolt remote or pushing refs/dolt/* to it.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .beads/.gitignore: Adds events.jsonl to the ignored tracker data files.
  • observed — Modified behavior in .beads/hooks/post-checkout: The script now uses #!/usr/bin/env sh and marks the Beads integration as v1.1.2. The previous Git LFS path setup, missing-git-lfs error and exit, and git lfs post-checkout invocation are removed.

…m atomically

The earlier commit-msg hook could empty the message when it failed to write its temporary file and still exit 0. This version never touches a message without a Co-Authored-By line, writes the cleaned text to a fresh mktemp file, checks it against a second run, and renames it over the message only when every step worked; on any failure the message stays and the commit stops.
