 {"id":"bd-ihp9","title":"Fix FOREIGN KEY constraint failures in AddComment and ApplyCompaction","description":"The 'CloseIssue', 'UpdateIssueID', and 'RemoveLabel' methods were fixed in PR #348 to prevent foreign key constraint failures when operating on non-existent issues.\n\nHowever, the Oracle identified two other methods that follow the same problematic pattern:\n1. `AddComment` (in `internal/storage/sqlite/events.go`)\n2. `ApplyCompaction` (in `internal/storage/sqlite/compact.go`)\n\nThese methods attempt to insert an event record after updating the issue, without verifying that the issue update actually affected any rows. This leads to a foreign key constraint failure if the issue does not exist.\n\nWe need to:\n1. Create reproduction tests for these failure cases\n2. Apply the same fix pattern: check `RowsAffected()` after the update, and return a proper \"issue not found\" error if it is 0, before attempting to insert the event.\n3. Standardize the error message format to \"issue %s not found\" or \"issue not found: %s\" for consistency.","status":"closed","priority":1,"issue_type":"task","created_at":"2025-11-20T09:49:55.090644-08:00","updated_at":"2025-11-20T09:53:54.466769-08:00","closed_at":"2025-11-20T09:53:54.466769-08:00"}

 {"id":"bd-iic1","title":"Phase 2.2: Switch bdt storage to TOON format","description":"Currently bdt stores issues in JSONL format in issues.toon file. Phase 2.2 must implement actual TOON format storage - this is the fundamental goal of the bdtoon project.\n\n## Current State (Phase 2.1)\n- issues.toon stores JSONL (intermediate format)\n- --toon flag allows output in TOON format for LLM consumption\n- Problem: We're not actually using TOON as the fundamental storage format\n\n## Required Work (Phase 2.2)\n1. Switch issue file I/O to write TOON format instead of JSONL\n   - Update cmd/bdt/storage.go to use EncodeTOON for writing\n   - Update cmd/bdt/storage.go to decode TOON (currently decodes JSON)\n   - Ensure round-trip: write TOON → read TOON → write TOON is byte-identical\n\n2. Update command implementations\n   - cmd/bdt/create.go: Write newly created issues to TOON format\n   - cmd/bdt/list.go: Read issues from TOON format\n   - cmd/bdt/show.go: Read from TOON format\n   - cmd/bdt/import.go: Convert imported JSONL to TOON\n   - cmd/bdt/export.go: Export TOON to JSONL (for bd compatibility)\n\n3. Implement TOON parser that handles gotoon's encoder-only limitation\n   - Since gotoon doesn't decode TOON, need custom TOON→JSON decoder\n   - OR continue storing TOON but decoding via intermediate JSON conversion\n\n4. Git merge driver optimization\n   - TOON is line-oriented, better for 3-way merges than binary formats\n   - Configure git merge driver for .toon files\n\n5. Comprehensive testing\n   - Round-trip tests: Issue → TOON → storage → read → Issue\n   - Merge conflict resolution tests with TOON format\n   - Large issue set performance tests\n\n## Success Criteria\n- issues.toon stores actual TOON format (not JSONL)\n- bdt list reads from TOON file\n- bdt create writes to TOON file\n- Round-trip: create issue → list → show returns identical data\n- All 65+ tests still passing\n- Performance comparable to JSONL storage","status":"closed","priority":1,"issue_type":"task","created_at":"2025-12-19T14:05:41.394964404-07:00","updated_at":"2025-12-19T14:37:17.879612634-07:00","closed_at":"2025-12-19T14:37:17.879612634-07:00"}
