From f134a3d65862866ac15a542d1d02b0b45879acd6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: matt wilkie Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2025 00:39:28 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 01/12] fix: remove duplicate countIssuesInJSONLFile function Fixes build failure in Test, Lint, Test (Windows), and Test Nix Flake jobs. The function was defined in both init.go and doctor.go. Removed the init.go version which is now unused. The doctor.go version (which calls countJSONLIssues) is the canonical implementation.

The issue was modified (appears in commits updating it)\n3. The issue was deleted (appears in a commit removing it)\n\nThe current logic incorrectly treats all three cases as 'deleted'.\n\n## Correct Logic\n\n`git log -S` with `--oneline` shows commits where the string was added OR removed. To detect deletion specifically:\n\n1. ID appears in git history (was once in JSONL)\n2. ID is NOT currently in JSONL\n\nThe second condition is already checked by the caller (`purgeDeletedIssues`), so technically the logic is correct in context. But the function name and doc comment are misleading.\n\n## Fix Options\n\n1. **Rename function** to `wasEverInJSONL` and update doc comment to clarify\n2. **Add explicit check** for current JSONL state in the function itself\n\nOption 1 is simpler and correct since caller already filters.","status":"closed","priority":3,"issue_type":"bug","created_at":"2025-11-25T12:46:16.073661-08:00","updated_at":"2025-11-25T15:11:54.426093-08:00","closed_at":"2025-11-25T15:11:54.426093-08:00"} +{"id":"bd-j3zt","title":"Fix mypy errors in beads-mcp","description":"Running `mypy .` in `integrations/beads-mcp` reports 287 errors.
