feat: Complete GH #353 follow-up phases (bd-9nw, bd-u3t, bd-e0o)

Implements all three follow-up phases for sandbox environment support:

**Phase 1 (bd-9nw): Documentation** 
- Comprehensive sandbox troubleshooting section in TROUBLESHOOTING.md
  - Detailed symptoms, root causes, and escape hatches
  - Step-by-step troubleshooting workflow
  - Comparison table for --sandbox, --force, and --allow-stale flags
- Global flags section added to CLI_REFERENCE.md
  - Documents --sandbox, --allow-stale, and --force flags
  - Usage examples and when to use each flag
- GitHub issue #353 comment with immediate workarounds

**Phase 2 (bd-u3t): Sandbox Auto-Detection** 
- Automatic sandbox detection using syscall.Kill permission checks
  - cmd/bd/sandbox_unix.go: Unix/Linux/macOS implementation
  - cmd/bd/sandbox_windows.go: Windows stub (conservative approach)
  - cmd/bd/sandbox_test.go: Comprehensive test coverage
- Auto-enables sandbox mode when detected
  - Shows: "ℹ️  Sandbox detected, using direct mode"
  - Respects explicit --sandbox or --no-daemon flags
- Updated documentation to reflect auto-detection (v0.21.1+)

**Phase 3 (bd-e0o): Enhanced Daemon Robustness** 
- Permission-aware process checks in cmd/bd/daemon_unix.go
  - Correctly handles EPERM (operation not permitted) from syscall.Kill
  - Treats EPERM as "process exists but not signable" = running
  - Prevents false negatives in sandboxed environments
- Metadata health check in cmd/bd/daemon_event_loop.go
  - Periodic verification that metadata is accessible
  - Helps detect external import operations (bd import --force)
  - Non-fatal logging for diagnostics
- Comprehensive test suite in cmd/bd/daemon_unix_test.go
  - Self-check, init process, nonexistent process, parent process tests

**Impact:**
- Codex users: No manual intervention needed, auto-detected
- Stuck states: Three escape hatches (--sandbox, --force, --allow-stale)
- Daemon robustness: Handles permission-restricted environments gracefully
- All three follow-up issues (bd-9nw, bd-u3t, bd-e0o) closed

**Files changed:**
- cmd/bd/main.go: Auto-detection logic in PersistentPreRun
- cmd/bd/sandbox_unix.go: Unix sandbox detection (new)
- cmd/bd/sandbox_windows.go: Windows sandbox detection stub (new)
- cmd/bd/sandbox_test.go: Sandbox detection tests (new)
- cmd/bd/daemon_unix.go: Permission-aware isProcessRunning()
- cmd/bd/daemon_unix_test.go: Process check tests (new)
- cmd/bd/daemon_event_loop.go: Metadata health check
- docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md: Comprehensive sandbox section
- docs/CLI_REFERENCE.md: Global flags documentation

Closes bd-9nw, bd-u3t, bd-e0o

## Global Flags
Global flags work with any bd command and must appear **before** the subcommand.
### Sandbox Mode
**Auto-detection (v0.21.1+):** bd automatically detects sandboxed environments and enables sandbox mode.
When detected, you'll see: ` Sandbox detected, using direct mode`
**Manual override:**
```bash
# Explicitly enable sandbox mode
bd --sandbox <command>
# Equivalent to combining these flags:
bd --no-daemon --no-auto-flush --no-auto-import <command>
```
**What it does:**
- Disables daemon (uses direct SQLite mode)
- Disables auto-export to JSONL
- Disables auto-import from JSONL
**When to use:** Sandboxed environments where daemon can't be controlled (permission restrictions), or when auto-detection doesn't trigger.
### Staleness Control
```bash
# Skip staleness check (emergency escape hatch)
bd --allow-stale <command>
# Example: access database even if out of sync with JSONL
bd --allow-stale ready --json
bd --allow-stale list --status open --json
```
**Shows:** `⚠️ Staleness check skipped (--allow-stale), data may be out of sync`
**⚠️ Caution:** May show stale or incomplete data. Use only when stuck and other options fail.
### Force Import
```bash
# Force metadata update even when DB appears synced
bd import --force -i .beads/beads.jsonl
```
**When to use:** `bd import` reports "0 created, 0 updated" but staleness errors persist.
**Shows:** `Metadata updated (database already in sync with JSONL)`
### Other Global Flags
```bash
# JSON output for programmatic use
bd --json <command>
# Force direct mode (bypass daemon)
bd --no-daemon <command>
# Disable auto-sync
bd --no-auto-flush <command> # Disable auto-export to JSONL
bd --no-auto-import <command> # Disable auto-import from JSONL
# Custom database path
bd --db /path/to/.beads/beads.db <command>
# Custom actor for audit trail
bd --actor alice <command>
```
