Add tutorial for the Beads MCP Server extension, a git-backed issue tracker designed for AI agent task management.

The tutorial demonstrates:

  • Building an expense tracker app across 4 parallel sessions
  • Step 1: Planning tasks with dependencies
  • Steps 2 & 3: Frontend and backend work in parallel
  • Step 4: Polling for blocked tasks, then integrating

Key features shown:

  • Parallel coordination across multiple goose instances
  • Automatic dependency unblocking
  • Polling/waiting for blockers to resolve
  • Shared task state without merge conflicts
