Warn on timestamp conflicts\n\n## Solution\n\nAdd timestamp checking to DetectCollisions or importIssues:\n\n```go\nif len(conflictingFields) \u003e 0 {\n    // Check timestamps\n    if !incoming.UpdatedAt.After(existing.UpdatedAt) {\n        // Local is newer or same - skip update\n        result.ExactMatches = append(result.ExactMatches, incoming.ID)\n        continue\n    }\n    // Remote is newer - apply update\n    result.Collisions = append(result.Collisions, \u0026CollisionDetail{...})\n}\n```\n\n## Files\n- internal/storage/sqlite/collision.go\n- internal/importer/importer.go\n\n## References\n- Discovered during bd-df190564, bd-b501fcc1 re-opening","status":"closed","priority":1,"issue_type":"bug","created_at":"2025-10-31T17:56:43.919306-07:00","updated_at":"2025-10-31T18:05:55.521427-07:00","closed_at":"2025-10-31T18:05:55.521427-07:00"}

 {"id":"bd-e6d71828","title":"Add transaction + retry logic for N-way collision resolution","description":"## Problem\nCurrent N-way collision resolution fails on UNIQUE constraint violations during convergence rounds when 5+ clones sync. The RemapCollisions function is non-atomic and performs operations sequentially:\n1. Delete old issues (CASCADE deletes dependencies)\n2. Create remapped issues (can fail with UNIQUE constraint)\n3. Recreate dependencies\n4. Update text references\n\nFailure at step 2 leaves database in inconsistent state.\n\n## Solution\nWrap collision resolution in database transaction with retry logic:\n- Make entire RemapCollisions operation atomic\n- Retry up to 3 times on UNIQUE constraint failures\n- Re-sync counters between retries\n- Add better error messages for debugging\n\n## Implementation\nLocation: internal/storage/sqlite/collision.go:342 (RemapCollisions function)\n\n```go\n// Retry up to 3 times on UNIQUE constraint failures\nfor attempt := 0; attempt \u003c 3; attempt++ {\n    err := s.db.ExecInTransaction(func(tx *sql.Tx) error {\n        // All collision resolution operations\n    })\n    if !isUniqueConstraintError(err) {\n        return err\n    }\n    s.SyncAllCounters(ctx)\n}\n```\n\n## Success Criteria\n- 5-clone collision test passes reliably\n- No partial state on UNIQUE constraint errors\n- Automatic recovery from transient ID conflicts\n\n## References\n- See beads_nway_test.go:124 for the KNOWN LIMITATION comment\n- Related to-7c5915ae (transaction support)","notes":"## Progress Made\n\n1. Added `ExecInTransaction` helper to SQLiteStorage for atomic database operations\n2. Added `IsUniqueConstraintError` function to detect UNIQUE constraint violations\n3. Wrapped `RemapCollisions` with retry logic (up to 3 attempts) with counter sync between retries\n4. Enhanced `handleRename` to detect and handle race conditions where target ID already exists\n5. Added defensive checks for when old ID has been deleted by another clone\n\n## Test Results\n\nThe changes improve N-way collision handling but don't fully solve the problem:\n- Original error: `UNIQUE constraint failed: issues.id` during first convergence round\n- With changes: Test proceeds further but encounters different collision scenarios\n- New error: `target ID already exists with different content` in later convergence rounds\n\n## Root Cause Analysis\n\nThe issue is more complex than initially thought. In N-way scenarios:\n1. Clone A remaps bd-1c63eb84 → test-2 → test-4\n2. Clone B remaps bd-1c63eb84 → test-3 → test-4  \n3. Both try to create test-4, but with different intermediate states\n4. This creates legitimate content collisions that require additional resolution\n\n## Next Steps  \n\nThe full solution requires:\n1. Making remapping fully deterministic across clones (same input → same remapped ID)\n2. OR making `handleRename` more tolerant of mid-flight collisions\n3. OR implementing full transaction support for multi-step collision resolution -7c5915ae)\n\nThe retry logic added here provides a foundation but isn't sufficient for complex N-way scenarios.","status":"closed","priority":1,"issue_type":"task","created_at":"2025-10-29T10:22:32.716678-07:00","updated_at":"2025-11-02T17:08:52.043475-08:00","closed_at":"2025-11-02T17:08:52.043477-08:00"}
