- Tracking bead progress and status
- Managing bead dependencies
- Collecting attribution data for agent evaluation

## Bead Lifecycle

1. **Created**: Bead defined with scope and acceptance criteria
2. **Assigned**: Bead placed on agent's hook
3. **In Progress**: Agent actively working (GUPP enforced)
4. **Review**: Work complete, awaiting merge review
5. **Done**: Merged and verified (`gt done`)
6. **Destroyed**: Wisps only - cleaned up after landing

## Attribution

All work carries persistent attribution:
- Which agent completed the bead
- Time taken and quality score
- Used for A/B testing agent configurations
- Feeds into agent evaluation and scoring

## Tool Use

Used within convoy management and orchestrator processes.
