You say:

"Migrate our API from Express to Hono. Use dex to track it."

Terminal 
$ dex create -d "Migrate auth middleware" --context "Current auth
uses passport.js with JWT strategy in src/middleware/auth.ts.
Hono equivalent is hono/jwt. Must preserve req.user pattern
that 12 route handlers depend on."
Created task p7n4j9q2
[ ] p7n4j9q2: Migrate auth middleware

Context:
  Current auth uses passport.js with JWT strategy in
  src/middleware/auth.ts. Hono equivalent is hono/jwt. Must
  preserve req.user pattern that 12 route handlers depend on.
Next session:

"Continue working on the Hono migration."

Terminal 
$ dex list
[ ] p7n4j9q2: Migrate auth middleware
[ ] w5t2v8b3 [B: p7n4j9q2]: Migrate route handlers to Hono

$ dex show p7n4j9q2
[ ] p7n4j9q2: Migrate auth middleware

Context:
  Current auth uses passport.js with JWT strategy in
  src/middleware/auth.ts. Hono equivalent is hono/jwt. Must
  preserve req.user pattern that 12 route handlers depend on.
From a plan:

"/dex-plan" after finishing plan mode

Terminal 
$ dex plan ~/.claude/plans/auth-system.md

"Investigate why auto-sync with GitHub isn't working. Use Dex to track the fix."

Terminal 
$ dex create -d "Fix auto-sync not loading project config" --context "In
src/index.ts, createSyncService() calls loadConfig() without the
storage path. Project config (.dex/config.toml) is never loaded.

Fix: Pass storage.getIdentifier() to loadConfig() after creating
the storage engine.

Evidence: sync.ts correctly uses loadConfig(storage.getIdentifier())
but index.ts uses loadConfig() with no argument."
