Fix Windows test failures: path handling and bd binary references

- Fix TestFindDatabasePathEnvVar to expect canonicalized absolute paths
- Add getBDCommand() helper for platform-specific bd executable paths
- Update beads_hash_multiclone_test.go to use platform-specific bd paths
- Fix cleanupWALFiles linting error (removed unused error return)

When 5+ clones create issues with same ID, Git merge conflicts require manual resolution, and our collision resolver can fail during convergence rounds.\n\n## Research Question\nCould jujutsu (jj) provide better conflict handling for JSONL files?\n\n## Jujutsu Overview\n- Next-gen VCS built on libgit2\n- Designed to handle conflicts as first-class citizens\n- Supports conflict-free replicated data types (CRDTs) in some scenarios\n- Better handling of concurrent edits\n- Can work with Git repos (compatible with existing infrastructure)\n\n## Investigation Tasks\n1. JSONL Merge Behavior - How does jj handle line-by-line JSONL conflicts?\n2. Integration Feasibility - Can beads use jj as backend while maintaining Git compatibility?\n3. Conflict Resolution Model - Does jj conflict model map to our collision resolution?\n4. Operational Transform Support - Does jj implement operational transforms?\n\n## Deliverables\n1. Technical report on jj merge algorithm for JSONL\n2. Proof-of-concept: 5-clone collision test using jj instead of Git\n3. Performance comparison: Git vs jj for beads workload\n4. Recommendation: Adopt, experiment further, or abandon\n\n## References\n- https://github.com/martinvonz/jj\n- Related to bd-e6d71828, bd-7a2b58fc","status":"closed","priority":2,"issue_type":"task","created_at":"2025-10-29T20:02:47.953008-07:00","updated_at":"2025-10-30T17:12:58.19464-07:00","closed_at":"2025-10-29T20:47:52.910985-07:00"}
