Prepare for public launch: comprehensive examples, docs, and tooling

This commit adds everything needed for a successful public launch: **New Documentation** - SECURITY.md: Security policy and best practices - CLAUDE.md: Complete agent instructions for contributing to beads - Enhanced README with pain points, FAQ, troubleshooting sections - Added Taskwarrior to comparison table with detailed explanation **Installation** - install.sh: One-liner installation script with platform detection - Auto-detects OS/arch, tries go install, falls back to building from source - Updated README with prominent installation instructions **Examples** (2,268+ lines of working code) - examples/python-agent/: Full Python implementation of agent workflow - examples/bash-agent/: Shell script agent with colorized output - examples/git-hooks/: Pre-commit, post-merge, post-checkout hooks with installer - examples/claude-desktop-mcp/: Documentation for future MCP server integration - examples/README.md: Overview of all examples **Dogfooding** - Initialized bd in beads project itself (.beads/beads.db) - Created issues for roadmap (MCP server, migrations, demos, 1.0 milestone) - Exported to .beads/issues.jsonl for git versioning **Visual Assets** - Added screenshot showing agent using beads to README intro - Placed in .github/images/ following GitHub conventions This addresses all launch readiness items: ✅ Security policy ✅ Working agent examples (Python, Bash) ✅ Git hooks for automation ✅ FAQ addressing skeptics ✅ Troubleshooting common issues ✅ Easy installation ✅ Dogfooding our own tool ✅ Pain points that create urgency Ready to ship! 🚀 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

+# Git Hooks for Beads
+
+Automatic export/import of beads issues during git operations.
+
+## What These Hooks Do
+
+- **pre-commit**: Exports SQLite → JSONL before every commit
+- **post-merge**: Imports JSONL → SQLite after git pull/merge
+- **post-checkout**: Imports JSONL → SQLite after branch switching
+
+This keeps your `.beads/issues.jsonl` (committed to git) in sync with your local SQLite database (gitignored).
+
+## Installation
+
+### Quick Install
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/your/project
+./examples/git-hooks/install.sh
+```
+
+The installer will prompt before overwriting existing hooks.
+
+### Manual Install
+
+```bash
+# Copy hooks to .git/hooks/
+cp examples/git-hooks/pre-commit .git/hooks/
+cp examples/git-hooks/post-merge .git/hooks/
+cp examples/git-hooks/post-checkout .git/hooks/
+
+# Make them executable
+chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit
+chmod +x .git/hooks/post-merge
+chmod +x .git/hooks/post-checkout
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Once installed, the hooks run automatically:
+
+```bash
+# Creating/updating issues
+bd create "New feature" -p 1
+bd update bd-1 --status in_progress
+
+# Committing changes - hook exports automatically
+git add .
+git commit -m "Update feature"
+# 🔗 Exporting beads issues to JSONL...
+# ✓ Beads issues exported and staged
+
+# Pulling changes - hook imports automatically
+git pull
+# 🔗 Importing beads issues from JSONL...
+# ✓ Beads issues imported successfully
+
+# Switching branches - hook imports automatically
+git checkout feature-branch
+# 🔗 Importing beads issues from JSONL...
+# ✓ Beads issues imported successfully
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+### The Workflow
+
+1. You work with bd commands (`create`, `update`, `close`)
+2. Changes are stored in SQLite (`.beads/*.db`) - fast local queries
+3. Before commit, hook exports to JSONL (`.beads/issues.jsonl`) - git-friendly
+4. JSONL is committed to git (source of truth)
+5. After pull/merge/checkout, hook imports JSONL back to SQLite
+6. Your local SQLite cache is now in sync with git
+
+### Why This Design?
+
+**SQLite for speed**:
+- Fast queries (dependency trees, ready work)
+- Rich SQL capabilities
+- Sub-100ms response times
+
+**JSONL for git**:
+- Clean diffs (one issue per line)
+- Mergeable (independent lines)
+- Human-readable
+- AI-resolvable conflicts
+
+Best of both worlds!
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Hook not running
+
+```bash
+# Check if hook is executable
+ls -l .git/hooks/pre-commit
+# Should show -rwxr-xr-x
+
+# Make it executable if needed
+chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit
+```
+
+### Export/import fails
+
+```bash
+# Check if bd is in PATH
+which bd
+
+# Check if you're in a beads-initialized directory
+bd list
+```
+
+### Merge conflicts in issues.jsonl
+
+If you get merge conflicts in `.beads/issues.jsonl`:
+
+1. Most conflicts are safe to resolve by keeping both sides
+2. Each line is an independent issue
+3. Look for `<<<<<<< HEAD` markers
+4. Keep all lines that don't conflict
+5. For actual conflicts on the same issue, choose the newest
+
+Example conflict:
+
+```
+<<<<<<< HEAD
+{"id":"bd-3","title":"Updated title","status":"closed","updated_at":"2025-10-12T10:00:00Z"}
+=======
+{"id":"bd-3","title":"Updated title","status":"in_progress","updated_at":"2025-10-12T09:00:00Z"}
+>>>>>>> feature-branch
+```
+
+Resolution: Keep the HEAD version (newer timestamp).
+
+After resolving:
+```bash
+git add .beads/issues.jsonl
+git commit
+bd import -i .beads/issues.jsonl  # Sync to SQLite
+```
+
+## Uninstalling
+
+```bash
+rm .git/hooks/pre-commit
+rm .git/hooks/post-merge
+rm .git/hooks/post-checkout
+```
+
+## Customization
+
+### Skip hook for one commit
+
+```bash
+git commit --no-verify -m "Skip hooks"
+```
+
+### Add to existing hooks
+
+If you already have git hooks, you can append to them:
+
+```bash
+# Append to existing pre-commit
+cat examples/git-hooks/pre-commit >> .git/hooks/pre-commit
+```
+
+### Filter exports
+
+Export only specific issues:
+
+```bash
+# Edit pre-commit hook, change:
+bd export --format=jsonl -o .beads/issues.jsonl
+
+# To:
+bd export --format=jsonl --status=open -o .beads/issues.jsonl
+```
