Fix bd-9v7l: bd status now uses git history for recent activity

- Changed from database timestamps (7 days) to git log analysis (24 hours)
- Git log is fast (~24ms) and reflects actual JSONL changes
- Shows commits, total changes, created/closed/reopened/updated counts
- Updated tests to verify git-based activity tracking
- Removed misleading database-based getRecentActivity function
