Yogthos 7d1e1f42e1 feat: clojure.core.async on Janet fibers (Phase 1 — API layer)
Janet fibers are stackful coroutines, so a go block is just its body run in a
fiber that parks on channel ops by yielding to the event loop — the interpreter
call stack rides along, no CPS/state-machine transform. So <!/>! work anywhere
(inside try, nested fns, loops), unlike Clojure's go macro.

src/jolt/async.janet implements chan/chan?/close!/<!/>!/<!!/>!!/go/go-loop/
thread/alts!/timeout/put!/take! over ev/ channels and fibers, installed as the
clojure.core.async namespace (pre-populated in init, so require finds it).

A channel is a pair of ev/chans (:ch values + :done close-signal); a take is
(ev/select :ch :done), which drains buffered values before the close signal —
giving Clojure's drain-then-nil semantics without the buffer loss of
ev/chan-close, and with no leaked fibers (close! just closes :done).

Single-threaded cooperative scheduling: <! (park) and <!! (block) coincide.
Dynamic-var conveyance (Phase 2) and channel transducers (Phase 3) are TODO.

spec: test/spec/core-async-spec (16 cases — go/channels, buffering+close,
go-loop pipelines, alts!/timeout, parking inside try/nested-fn). jpm test green.

Beads - AI-Native Issue Tracking

Welcome to Beads! This repository uses Beads for issue tracking - a modern, AI-native tool designed to live directly in your codebase alongside your code.

What is Beads?

Beads is issue tracking that lives in your repo, making it perfect for AI coding agents and developers who want their issues close to their code. No web UI required - everything works through the CLI and integrates seamlessly with git.

Quick Start

Essential Commands

# Create new issues
bd create "Add user authentication"

# View all issues
bd list

# View issue details
bd show <issue-id>

# Update issue status
bd update <issue-id> --claim
bd update <issue-id> --status done

# Sync with Dolt remote
bd dolt push

Working with Issues

Issues in Beads are:

  • Git-native: Stored in Dolt database with version control and branching
  • AI-friendly: CLI-first design works perfectly with AI coding agents
  • Branch-aware: Issues can follow your branch workflow
  • Always in sync: Auto-syncs with your commits

Why Beads?

AI-Native Design

  • Built specifically for AI-assisted development workflows
  • CLI-first interface works seamlessly with AI coding agents
  • No context switching to web UIs

🚀 Developer Focused

  • Issues live in your repo, right next to your code
  • Works offline, syncs when you push
  • Fast, lightweight, and stays out of your way

🔧 Git Integration

  • Automatic sync with git commits
  • Branch-aware issue tracking
  • Dolt-native three-way merge resolution
