- Prevents complete import failure from FK constraint violations
- Common scenario: merges that delete issues referenced by other issues
### Improved
- **Metadata JSONL Path Auto-Detection**: Fix configuration mismatches (bd-afd, d1641c7)
- Auto-detects actual JSONL file when metadata.json is recreated
- bd doctor --fix now includes DatabaseConfig() auto-repair
- Prefers beads.jsonl over issues.jsonl (canonical name)
- Prevents mismatches after git clean, merge conflicts, or rebases
- **Daemon Log Rotation**: Increased default rotation limits for better production use (bd-t7ds)
- Max size increased from 10MB to 50MB per file
- Max backups increased from 3 to 7 files
- Max age increased from 7 to 30 days
- Added comprehensive documentation in CONFIG.md
- **JSONL Resurrection Bug**: Critical fix for deleted issue resurrection (bd-v0y, c9a2e7a)
- Removed mtime fast-path in hasJSONLChanged() causing false negatives
- Git doesn't preserve mtime on checkout, causing incorrect change detection
- Now always uses content hash for reliable comparison
- Prevents bd sync from overwriting pulled JSONL and resurrecting deleted issues
- **ZFC (JSONL First Consistency)**: Enforce source of truth semantics (bd-l0r, 1ba068f, 2e4171a, 949ab42)
- bd sync now unconditionally imports JSONL first (source of truth)
- Simpler JSONL → DB → JSONL flow ensures consistency
- Prevents exporting when DB has significantly more issues than JSONL
- Preserves local uncommitted changes while catching stale DB scenarios
- **Merge Conflict Semantics**: Improved resolution policies (bd-pq5k, d4f9a05)
- Merge logic now enforces: closed ALWAYS wins over open
- Deletion ALWAYS wins over modification
- Fixed closed_at handling: only set when status='closed'
- Prevents issues from getting stuck in invalid states
- Eliminates "zombie issues" that never die
- **JSONL Merge Conflict Auto-Resolution**: Streamlined rebase workflow (bd-cwmt, 3cf5e26)
- bd sync now auto-resolves JSONL conflicts during rebase
- Detects rebase state and JSONL-only conflicts
- Auto-exports from DB and continues rebase automatically
- Eliminates manual conflict resolution in common scenarios
- **Staleness Check Error Handling**: Better metadata validation (bd-2q6d, bd-o4qy, bd-n4td, b75914b)
- CheckStaleness now returns errors for corrupted last_import_time metadata
- Enhanced warning messages when staleness check fails
- Handles empty string metadata (memory store behavior)
- Prevents silent failures with corrupted metadata
- **N+1 Query Pattern in Export**: Dramatic performance improvement (bd-rcmg, 9c6b375)
- Added batch methods: GetCommentsForIssues() and GetLabels() in bulk
- Reduced query count from ~201 to ~3-5 for 100 issues
- Eliminated per-issue loops in handleExport() and triggerExport()
- **Sync Branch Auto-Configuration**: Prevent bd sync failures after init (bd-flil, bd-rsua, a4c38d5, 83609d5)
- bd init now auto-sets sync.branch to current git branch
- bd doctor detects missing sync.branch config and provides --fix
- All branch detection uses 'git symbolic-ref' to work in fresh repos
- Fixes 'bd sync --status' error after fresh bd init
- **Merge Driver Auto-Repair**: Fix stale git configurations (bd-3sz0, bd-tbz3, 1c8dd49)
- Detects old bd versions (<0.24.0) with invalid %L/%R placeholders
- Auto-repairs during bd init and bd doctor --fix
- Git only supports %O (base), %A (current), %B (other) placeholders
- Supports both canonical (issues.jsonl) and legacy (beads.jsonl) filenames
- **Unvalidated Dependency Parsing**: Prevent empty ID lookups (bd-ia8r, e8a752e)
- Validates dependsOnID is non-empty before setting discoveredFromParentID

- **Windows CI Test Failures**: Cross-platform reliability (153f724)
- Fixed file locking issue in TestNewSQLiteStorage (added defer store.Close())
- Fixed nil slice return in TestFindAllDatabases (explicit empty slice initialization)
- Both issues related to stricter Windows file locking behavior
- **Invalid closed_at States**: Data integrity fix (bd-1rh, b428254)
- Removed invalid closed_at timestamps for open issues
- Prevents inconsistent state from merge conflicts
- **Security**: File permission hardening (b6870de, ae5a4ac)
- Changed file permissions from 0644 to 0600 for security (gosec G302)
- Config files now owner read/write only (not world readable)
- Added comprehensive security tests for WriteFile permissions
- Handles read-only files by fixing permissions before writing
### Changed
- **bd init Defaults**: Better out-of-box experience (bd-bxha, ec4117d)
- Git hooks and merge driver now installed by default
- Removed interactive prompts (simpler workflow)
- New opt-out flags: `--skip-hooks` and `--skip-merge-driver`
- Shows warning messages on failure with suggestion to run bd doctor --fix
- **bd init Validation**: Automatic setup verification (bd-zwtq, 3a36d0b)
- Runs bd doctor diagnostics at end of bd init
- Immediately identifies configuration problems before user encounters them
- Catches: missing hooks, unconfigured merge driver, missing docs, metadata issues
- **Internal Code Organization**: Improved maintainability (bd-0a43, 58f37d0)
- Split monolithic sqlite.go (1050 lines) into focused files

- 8 tests verify cache invalidation behavior
- Tests for dependency add/remove, status changes, transitive blocking
- Direct cache table queries validate implementation correctness
- **Sync Test Optimization**: Reduced boilerplate (bd-ktng, dfcbb7d)
- Added shared git repo setup helpers
- Refactored 19 test functions
- Reduced duplicate code by ~300 lines
### Performance
- **Daemon Log Rotation**: Production-ready configuration (bd-t7ds, f454b3d)
- Max size increased: 10MB → 50MB per file
- Max backups increased: 3 → 7 files
- Max age increased: 7 → 30 days
- Better handles long-running daemons with high log output
- **Git Pre-Push Hook**: Better error messaging and auto-sync option
