* fix(sync): read sync.mode from yaml first, then database
bd config set sync.mode writes to config.yaml (because sync.* is a
yaml-only prefix), but GetSyncMode() only read from the database.
This caused dolt-native mode to be ignored - JSONL export still
happened because the database had no sync.mode value.
Now GetSyncMode() checks config.yaml first (via config.GetSyncMode()),
falling back to database for backward compatibility.
Fixes: oss-5ca279
* fix(init): respect BEADS_DIR environment variable
Problem:
- `bd init` ignored BEADS_DIR when checking for existing data
- `bd init` created database at CWD/.beads instead of BEADS_DIR
- Contributor wizard used ~/.beads-planning as default, ignoring BEADS_DIR
Solution:
- Add BEADS_DIR check in checkExistingBeadsData() (matches FindBeadsDir pattern)
- Compute beadsDirForInit early, before initDBPath determination
- Use BEADS_DIR as default in contributor wizard when set
- Preserve precedence: --db > BEADS_DB > BEADS_DIR > default
Impact:
- Users with BEADS_DIR set now get consistent behavior across all bd commands
- ACF-style fork tracking (external .beads directory) now works correctly
Fixes: steveyegge/beads#???
* fix(doctor): respect BEADS_DIR environment variable
Also updates documentation to reflect BEADS_DIR support in init and doctor.
Changes:
- doctor.go: Check BEADS_DIR before falling back to CWD
- doctor_test.go: Add tests for BEADS_DIR path resolution
- WORKTREES.md: Document simplified BEADS_DIR+init workflow
- CONTRIBUTOR_NAMESPACE_ISOLATION.md: Note init/doctor BEADS_DIR support
* test(init): add BEADS_DB > BEADS_DIR precedence test
Verifies that BEADS_DB env var takes precedence over BEADS_DIR
when both are set, ensuring the documented precedence order:
--db > BEADS_DB > BEADS_DIR > default
* chore: fill in GH#1277 placeholder in sync_mode comment
Change routing.mode default from "auto" to "" (empty/disabled).
This fixes GH#1165 where fresh `bd init --prefix X` followed by
`bd create` would unexpectedly route to ~/.beads-planning and fail
with "database not initialized: issue_prefix config is missing".
Auto-routing now requires explicit opt-in via:
- `bd init --contributor` flag, OR
- `bd config set routing.mode auto`
Includes test verifying the default and doc updates clarifying
the opt-in requirement.
Addresses the self-hosting recursion problem where contributors using
beads-the-tool on beads-the-project leak personal issues into PRs.
Design recommends auto-routing (Approach 4):
- Detect user role via git remote URL (SSH=maintainer, HTTPS=contributor)
- Route contributor issues to ~/.beads-planning automatically
- Zero-friction default with explicit override available
Key finding: bd-6x6g needs implementation - routing is calculated but
not actually used to switch target repo in bd create.
Enables bd-lfak (PR preflight checks) to implement pollution detection.
