Use when a session waits on a bead it cannot move itself, such as a question it asked, another agent's work or a pull request merging, and when a `<channel source="beady-eye">` block arrives. Covers what to watch, how to read a change, what to do when the watcher is down, and unwatching a bead once the session is done waiting on it.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Using beady-eye ## What to watch Watch a bead when the session's next step waits on a change to it that someone else makes: - a question the session put on a bead, waiting for its answer; - a bead the session's work depends on, waiting for it to close; - a bead the session handed on, waiting for a comment or a close; - a pull request the session waits on, by watching its gh:pr gate. A gh:pr gate is the bead that closes when its pull request merges. Where the waiting bead depends on a molecule with the gate as one of its steps, the waiting bead turns ready only when the molecule's last step closes, so watching it misses the merge. Watch the gate itself. A pull request closed without merging leaves its gate open and comments on the bead the gate blocks, so watch that bead as well. Do not poll a watched bead with `bd`, and do not schedule a check on it. Name the project when you know it. A bare id makes the watcher look for it in every project it reads, and that search is refused where an id is held by more than one. ## Reading a change A change arrives like this: ``` <channel source="beady-eye" project="summit-works" id="smt-4kd3p.20" status="closed" ready="false"> …

How to install
mdr add codeforbreakfast/beady-eye/using-beady-eye@sha256:c414d849ee7fa3d8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.62759b9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
