The hybrid approach provides defense-in-depth.\n\nSee ULTRATHINK_BD224.md for full analysis and rationale.\n\nParent of all implementation tasks for this fix.","status":"open","priority":1,"issue_type":"epic","created_at":"2025-10-15T01:58:41.041574-07:00","updated_at":"2025-10-15T01:58:41.041574-07:00"}
{"id":"bd-227","title":"Audit and document all inconsistent issues in database","description":"Before we add the constraint, we need to know what data is inconsistent.\n\nSteps:\n1. Query database for status/closed_at mismatches\n2. Document each case (how many, which issues, patterns)\n3. Decide on cleanup strategy (trust status vs trust closed_at)\n4. Create SQL script for cleanup\n\nOutput: Document with counts and cleanup SQL ready to review.\n\nThis unblocks the migration work.","status":"open","priority":1,"issue_type":"task","created_at":"2025-10-15T01:58:50.908363-07:00","updated_at":"2025-10-15T01:58:50.908363-07:00","dependencies":[{"issue_id":"bd-227","depends_on_id":"bd-226","type":"parent-child","created_at":"2025-10-15T01:58:50.909081-07:00","created_by":"stevey"}]}
{"id":"bd-228","title":"Critical: Auto-import silently overwrites local changes without collision detection","description":"## Problem\n\nAuto-import is silently overwriting local changes when pulling from Git, without using collision detection or warning the user.\n\n## Evidence\n\nIssue bd-89 timeline:\n1. 08:07:31 - Manual update: set status=in_progress\n2. 08:13:08 - Manual close: set status=closed, closed_at set\n3. 08:33:25 - **Auto-import silently overwrote to status=open** (discarded local change)\n4. 08:57:59 - Auto-import overwrote again\n5. 08:58:30 - Auto-import overwrote again\n\nQuery shows 10+ issues with multiple auto-import overwrites, including bd-198, bd-199, bd-200-206.\n\n## Root Cause Hypothesis\n\nWhen two clones both modify issue N:\n- Clone A: modifies bd-89, exports to JSONL, commits\n- Clone B: also modifies bd-89 differently, pulls from A\n- Auto-import uses UpdateIssue which **unconditionally overwrites**\n- Clone B's local changes are silently lost\n- No collision detection warning\n- References and work context corrupted\n\n## Impact\n\n- **Data loss**: Local changes silently discarded\n- **Corruption**: Issue state doesn't reflect actual work done\n- **Lost references**: Comments/deps referencing lost state are now wrong\n- **Trust**: Can't trust the database reflects reality\n- **Agent swarms**: Catastrophic for parallel workers\n\n## Expected Behavior\n\nAuto-import should:\n1. Detect collisions (same ID, different content)\n2. Warn user or fail import\n3. Offer resolution options (--resolve-collisions)\n4. Never silently overwrite without user confirmation\n\n## Current Behavior\n\nAuto-import silently overwrites using UpdateIssue, no collision detection.\n\n## Reproduction\n\n1. Clone A: bd update bd-1 --status in_progress\n2. Clone A: git add .beads/issues.jsonl \u0026\u0026 git commit \u0026\u0026 git push\n3. Clone B: bd update bd-1 --status closed \n4. Clone B: git pull (triggers auto-import)\n5. Result: bd-1 status silently reverted to in_progress, closed state lost\n\n## Files Involved\n\n- cmd/bd/main.go: auto-import trigger logic\n- cmd/bd/import.go: import without collision detection\n- internal/storage/sqlite/sqlite.go: UpdateIssue unconditionally overwrites","status":"closed","priority":0,"issue_type":"bug","created_at":"2025-10-15T02:06:30.671918-07:00","updated_at":"2025-10-15T02:11:30.794518-07:00","closed_at":"2025-10-15T02:11:30.794518-07:00"}

The most valuable issue (bd-221) was already resolved and closed. The two open issues are low-priority enhancements that have been successfully re-filed.\n\n## Prevention Measures\n\n✅ Auto-import now has collision detection (bd-228 fix) \n✅ Manual import has --dry-run and --resolve-collisions \n✅ Auto-export debounce ensures JSONL stays in sync \n\n**Future consideration:** Add warning if database has issues not in JSONL\n\n## References\n\n- Full recovery report: LOST_ISSUES_RECOVERY.md\n- Root cause: bd-228 (auto-import bug, now fixed)\n- Recovery commit example: dd613f4 (recovered bd-180, bd-181, bd-182)\n- Re-filed issues: bd-232 (batching API), bd-233 (context check)\n- Historical context preserved: bd-89 (notes field)\n\n## Conclusion\n\nInvestigation complete. Successfully recovered all valuable lost work with minimal effort. The auto-import bug has been fixed (bd-228) and proper collision detection is now in place.

Correctness\n- Does collision detection properly identify conflicts?\n- Are colliding issues correctly filtered from import?\n- Is the fallback function correct for non-SQLite backends?\n\n### 2. Edge Cases\n- What happens if DetectCollisions() fails?\n- What if all issues are collisions?\n- What if JSONL is malformed?\n- Race conditions with concurrent auto-imports?\n\n### 3. User Experience\n- Is the warning message clear and actionable?\n- Should we log to a file instead of/in addition to stderr?\n- Should there be a --auto-resolve flag?\n\n### 4. Performance\n- Does collision detection add significant latency?\n- Will this work with 1000+ issues?\n- Any unnecessary N+1 queries?\n\n### 5. Testing Gaps\n- Do we need integration tests for collision scenarios?\n- Should we test the warning output?\n- Test autoImportWithoutCollisionDetection() fallback?\n\n## Questions for Reviewer\n1. Should auto-import be more aggressive (auto-resolve) or more conservative (fail)?\n2. Should we add a counter for how many times collisions occurred?\n3. Should there be a config option to disable collision detection?\n4. Is the warning too verbose for typical workflows?\n\n## Current Behavior\n- Skips colliding issues (preserves local)\n- Prints warning to stderr\n- Suggests manual resolution command\n- Continues with non-colliding issues","status":"open","priority":1,"issue_type":"task","created_at":"2025-10-15T02:12:48.210337-07:00","updated_at":"2025-10-15T02:12:48.210337-07:00","dependencies":[{"issue_id":"bd-230","depends_on_id":"bd-228","type":"discovered-from","created_at":"2025-10-15T02:12:48.212265-07:00","created_by":"stevey"}]}

Basic Collision Detection\n```go\nTestAutoImportWithCollisions\n- Setup: Create issue in DB with status=closed\n- Simulate: Git pull with JSONL containing same issue with status=open\n- Verify: Local changes preserved, warning printed, issue still closed\n```\n\n### 2. Multiple Collisions\n```go\nTestAutoImportWithMultipleCollisions\n- Setup: 5 issues with local modifications\n- Simulate: JSONL with 3 colliding, 2 matching\n- Verify: 3 skipped, 2 updated, appropriate warnings\n```\n\n### 3. No Collisions (Happy Path)\n```go\nTestAutoImportWithoutCollisions\n- Setup: Clean database\n- Simulate: JSONL with new issues + exact matches\n- Verify: All imported successfully, no warnings\n```\n\n### 4. All Collisions\n```go\nTestAutoImportAllCollisions\n- Setup: Every issue has local modifications\n- Simulate: JSONL with conflicting versions\n- Verify: All skipped, warning lists all issues\n```\n\n### 5. Collision Detection Failure\n```go\nTestAutoImportCollisionDetectionError\n- Setup: Mock DetectCollisions() to return error\n- Verify: Import skipped entirely (safe failure mode)\n```\n\n### 6. Hash-Based Skip\n```go\nTestAutoImportHashUnchanged\n- Setup: JSONL hash matches last_import_hash\n- Verify: No collision detection runs, fast path\n```\n\n### 7.
