commit f61b65ca1666873b71b5ac5dbd63ad94ec27fb8f

    Scope bd ready and bd blocked to the session's root
    
    Unscoped they span the whole database and return other contributors' work.
    Decision beads also sit open until merge, so they fill the ready queue --
    under one root every ready bead was a decision, two of them rejected
    alternatives. Both filters are now in every usage.

-- **Wire the order in the same pass as `bd create`.** Nothing stops you 
rewiring later, and
-  a plan you have outgrown *should* be rewired — but until the edges exist `bd 
ready` has
-  nothing to tell you, so an unwired plan tends to stay unwired.
+**Always scope `bd ready` and `bd blocked` to your root.** Unscoped they span 
the whole
+database and hand you other people's work. Exclude decisions too: they are 
records rather
+than work, but they sit `open` until merge and otherwise fill the queue — 
under one root
+here, every "ready" bead was a decision and two were rejected alternatives.

+- **Wire the order in the same pass as `bd create`.**
 - **Re-planning is normal; record it.** `bd dep remove` deletes an edge with 
no trace in the
   graph, so a restructure erases the shape you started with. If you rewire 
because you found
   a better path, that is a road not taken — write the decision bead (section 
3).
 - **A task with no blocker asserts it can start immediately.** The absence of 
an edge is a
   claim, not an oversight — decide it deliberately for every task.
-- **A blocked task is released when its blocker closes**, so tasks must close 
as they finish
-  rather than at merge. Hold them all open until the PR lands and the graph 
never advances.
+- **A blocked task is released when its blocker closes**, so tasks must close 
as they finish.
 - **Link a decision to the work it caused** — `bd dep add <task> <decision> -t 
caused-by`.
   Without it there is no path from a task back to the reasoning that shaped it.
 
-Before you start executing, run `bd ready`. If it returns every task you 
created, you built
-a list and called it a plan.
