jedarden 8e9dffe0bd docs(tb-29cx): document starvation alert resolution

Confirmed the alert was based on stale data. The system is working correctly:
- Only 1 open bead (tb-5n9) with 'deferred' label
- 1 in-progress bead (tb-29cx, this one)
- No configuration error

Investigation complete, documenting resolution for reference.

Starvation Alert Resolution (tb-29cx)

Alert Summary

Starvation alert was triggered claiming:

Workspace: default
Total beads: 40
Open: 8
In-progress: 1
Claimed by: claude-code-glm47-juliet

The alert stated: "Open beads exist but Pluck found none — possible configuration error."

Investigation Results

Current actual state as of 2026-07-02:

Total beads: 46
Open: 1 (tb-5n9)
In-progress: 1 (tb-29cx)
Closed: 44

Root Cause Analysis

The starvation alert was based on stale data. The 8 open beads referenced in the alert have since been processed and closed.

Why Pluck Found No Beads

Looking at the actual current state:

tb-5n9 is the only open bead, and it has the label deferred — this correctly signals "don't work on this yet"
tb-29cx (this bead) was already claimed and in-progress

The deferred label on tb-5n9 is intentional and correct — it's a task that should be ignored by workers until it's ready.

Conclusion

No configuration error — the system is working correctly.

The starvation alert was simply triggered on stale data that didn't reflect the current bead state. The worker correctly found no workable beads because:

The only open bead (tb-5n9) is intentionally deferred
The only in-progress bead (tb-29cx) was already claimed

Resolution

Confirmed the system is working correctly
Removed deferred, failure-count:1, and starvation-alert labels from tb-29cx
Closing this bead as resolved

Action Taken

This bead was an investigation-only task. The resolution is documented here and in the bead notes. No code changes were needed — the system was already functioning correctly.
