About the project

Beads is developer utility. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

Governance sits with the project's own team. They decide what ships, how often it ships, and which platforms are supported.

How releases reach a machine

Distribution depends on the project. Common routes include the system package index, a language registry, a version manager, or a source build described in the project documentation.

What to confirm beforehand

Look at the supported versions before anything else. Projects narrow their platform range over time, and older systems can be dropped without much warning.

Once it is in place

Most surprises here come down to path ordering or to two copies being present at once. Checking which one resolves first usually explains the difference.
