When running bd init in a subdirectory of a hub (e.g., ~/Repos/project
where ~/Repos/.beads exists), the new database was incorrectly inheriting
issues from the parent hub.
Root cause: checkGitForIssues() computed the relative path from gitRoot
to beadsDir but did not validate that beadsDir was actually inside the
git repository. When beadsDir was outside (e.g., ../.beads), it would
still attempt to import, causing contamination.
Fix: Add a guard to reject beadsDir paths that start with .. (outside
the git repository boundary).

When config.yaml has malformed YAML, getLocalSyncBranch and
isNoDbModeConfigured were silently returning empty/false with no
feedback, making debugging difficult. Now they log a warning via
debug.Logf when YAML parsing fails.

Adds --from-jsonl flag that imports from the current working tree's
.beads/issues.jsonl file instead of scanning git history. This prevents
deleted issues from being resurrected during re-initialization.
Use case: After running bd compact --purge-tombstones and committing
the cleaned JSONL, a subsequent bd init would previously re-import
all historical issues from git, defeating the cleanup.

Extract readFromGitRef helper function to eliminate duplicate code for
running git show <ref>:<path> commands. The helper is now used by:
- checkGitForIssues() in autoimport.go
- importFromGit() in autoimport.go
- readFirstIssueFromGit() in init.go
The scanning/parsing logic is intentionally kept separate since each
function has different requirements (error handling, SetDefaults, etc).

when importing JSONL with omitted fields.
This reduces JSONL file size for minimal issues like notifications

When sync-branch is configured in config.yaml, bd init now reads from
that branch (origin/<branch> first, then local <branch>) instead of
HEAD. This ensures fresh clones correctly import issues from the sync
branch.
Key changes:
- checkGitForIssues() now returns gitRef (third return value)
- New getLocalSyncBranch() reads sync-branch directly from config.yaml
(not cached global config) to handle test environments where CWD changes
- importFromGit() accepts gitRef parameter to read from correct branch
- Added readFirstIssueFromGit() for prefix auto-detection from git
- Fixed macOS symlink issue: filepath.EvalSymlinks() ensures /var and
/private/var paths are normalized before filepath.Rel()

Auto-import was allowing git history backfill to run, which could
incorrectly purge issues. The fix adds NoGitHistory=true to all
auto-import code paths:
- autoimport.go (importFromGit)
- autoflush.go (autoImportIfNewer)
- daemon_sync.go (importToJSONLWithStore)
Git history backfill is designed to detect deletions that happened
after a local DB was created. During auto-import, there is no local
work to protect - we are importing from the authoritative JSONL source.
Also adds comprehensive tests for NoGitHistory behavior.

The canonical beads database name is issues.jsonl. Tens of thousands of users
have issues.jsonl, and beads.jsonl was only used by the Beads project itself
due to git history pollution.
Changes:
- Updated bd doctor to warn about beads.jsonl instead of issues.jsonl
- Changed default config from beads.jsonl to issues.jsonl
- Reversed precedence in checkGitForIssues to prefer issues.jsonl
- Updated git merge driver config to use issues.jsonl
- Updated all tests to expect issues.jsonl as the default
issues.jsonl is now the canonical default; beads.jsonl is legacy

Hash-based IDs make collision resolution unnecessary. The flag was
already non-functional (handleCollisions returns error on collision
regardless of flag value).
Removed:
- --resolve-collisions flag from bd import
- ResolveCollisions field from ImportOptions and importer.Options
- All references in daemon, auto-import, and tests
- Updated error messages to reflect hash IDs don't collide
All import tests pass.

Critical fix for silent data corruption where database created 173
duplicate issues with wrong prefix (beads- instead of bd-).
Root cause: When issue_prefix config was missing, CreateIssue fell
back to deriving prefix from database filename (beads.db → 'beads'),
while auto-import imported bd- issues from git with SkipPrefixValidation.
This created duplicates.
Changes:
1. Removed derivePrefixFromPath() - never derive prefix from filename
2. CreateIssue/CreateIssues now REJECT if issue_prefix config missing
- Fail-fast with clear error message
3. Auto-import now SETS issue_prefix from first imported issue if missing
- Handles fresh clone scenario safely
4. Added newTestStore() helper that sets issue_prefix for tests
5. Updated test setup in multiple files to prevent test failures

Fixes bd-130
Fixed all CI failures that caused the original revert:
- Windows: Use filepath.ToSlash() for git paths (git always uses forward slashes)
- Nix: Skip test when git not available (NIX_BUILD_TOP env check)
- JSON parsing: Increased scanner buffer to 64MB for large issue descriptions
- Cross-platform: Added normalizeGitPath() helper for path comparisons
Also restored beads.jsonl > issues.jsonl precedence in checkGitForIssues().
All tests pass locally.

Fixes silent data loss when .beads/ directory removed and daemon auto-starts.
Root cause: checkGitForIssues() hardcoded 'issues.jsonl' but git tracks 'beads.jsonl'
Changes:
- Fix A (bd-131): checkGitForIssues() tries beads.jsonl first, then issues.jsonl
- Fix B (bd-132): Immediate export after import in bd init to prevent daemon race
- Fix C (bd-133): Safety check that fails loudly if import fails
- Fix D (bd-134): Daemon startup auto-import when DB empty but git has issues
- Tests (bd-135): Comprehensive integration test suite
Oracle-recommended improvements:
- Export to exact git-relative path (prevents path drift)
- filepath.ToSlash for Windows git compatibility
- 64MB scanner buffer for large JSONL lines
- Improved safety check messages (only suggest local file if exists)
All tests passing. No regressions.

Prevents agents from creating duplicate low-numbered issues when starting
with a fresh git clone that already has issues.jsonl in git history.
Changes:
- bd init now checks for existing issues in git after DB creation
- Auto-imports with collision resolution if found
- Updates AGENTS.md to simplify onboarding (just 'bd init')
Fixes the scenario where:
1. Fresh clone has .beads/issues.jsonl in git (212 issues)
2. Agent runs bd init (creates empty DB)
3. Agent starts creating bd-1, bd-2, etc (collisions with git)
Now bd init automatically imports all issues from git on first run.
