docs: Complete import.orphan_handling documentation (bd-9cdc)
Added comprehensive documentation for import orphan handling configuration across all relevant documentation files: - AGENTS.md: Added "Import Configuration" section with detailed mode explanations and usage guidance - README.md: Documented orphan handling in Export/Import section with examples of all four modes - TROUBLESHOOTING.md: Added "Import fails with missing parent errors" troubleshooting section with resurrection examples and prevention tips - CLI_REFERENCE.md: Expanded Import/Export section with --orphan-handling flag documentation and cross-references Documented resurrection behavior: - Tombstone creation (Status=Closed, Priority=4) - JSONL history search for deleted parents - Best-effort dependency resurrection - Hierarchical ancestor chain handling Closes bd-9cdc 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

### Import Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
bd provides configuration for handling edge cases during import, especially when dealing with hierarchical issues and deleted parents:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Configure orphan handling for imports
|
||||
bd config set import.orphan_handling "allow" # Default: import orphans without validation
|
||||
bd config set import.orphan_handling "resurrect" # Auto-resurrect deleted parents as tombstones
|
||||
bd config set import.orphan_handling "skip" # Skip orphaned children with warning
|
||||
bd config set import.orphan_handling "strict" # Fail if parent is missing
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Modes explained:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **`allow` (default)** - Import orphaned children without parent validation. Most permissive, ensures no data loss even if hierarchy is temporarily broken.
|
||||
- **`resurrect`** - Search JSONL history for deleted parents and recreate them as tombstones (Status=Closed, Priority=4). Preserves hierarchy with minimal data.
|
||||
- **`skip`** - Skip orphaned children with a warning. Partial import succeeds but some issues are excluded.
|
||||
- **`strict`** - Fail import immediately if a child's parent is missing. Use when database integrity is critical.
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use each mode:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Use `allow` (default) for daily imports and auto-sync - ensures no data loss
|
||||
- Use `resurrect` when importing from another database that had parent deletions
|
||||
- Use `strict` only for controlled imports where you need to guarantee parent existence
|
||||
- Use `skip` rarely - only when you want to selectively import a subset
|
||||
|
||||
**Override per command:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bd import -i issues.jsonl --orphan-handling resurrect # One-time override
|
||||
bd sync # Uses import.orphan_handling config setting
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See [docs/CONFIG.md](docs/CONFIG.md) for complete configuration documentation.

||||
### Managing Daemons
|
||||
|
||||
bd runs a background daemon per workspace for auto-sync and RPC operations:
