* fix: address critical resource leaks and error handling issues
Fixes 5 critical and high-priority issues identified in codebase analysis:
1. bd-vavh: Fix row iterator resource leak in recursive dependency queries
- Move defer rows.Close() to execute on all code paths
- Previously leaked connections on scan errors
- Location: internal/storage/sqlite/sqlite.go:1121-1145
2. bd-qhws: Configure database connection pool limits for daemon mode
- Set MaxOpenConns to runtime.NumCPU() + 1 for file-based databases
- Prevents connection exhaustion under concurrent RPC load
- Only affects daemon mode (long-running server)
- Location: internal/storage/sqlite/sqlite.go:108-125
3. bd-jo38: Add WaitGroup tracking to FileWatcher goroutines
- Track goroutines with sync.WaitGroup for graceful shutdown
- Wait for goroutines to finish before cleanup in Close()
- Prevents race condition on debouncer access during shutdown
- Location: cmd/bd/daemon_watcher.go (Start, startPolling, Close)
4. bd-2d5r: Fix silent error handling in RPC response writing
- writeResponse now returns errors instead of ignoring them
- Prevents sending partial JSON and client hangs
- Closes connection on marshal/write errors
- Location: internal/rpc/server_lifecycle_conn.go:227-246
5. bd-zqmb: Fix goroutine leak in daemon restart
- Add 10-second timeout to daemon Wait() goroutine
- Kill process if it doesn't fork within timeout
- Prevents goroutine accumulation on restart failures
- Location: cmd/bd/daemons.go:250-268
All changes follow Go best practices and maintain backward compatibility.
* Add feature request for .beads/README.md generation during init
Created bd-m7ge to automatically generate a promotional/documentation
README in the .beads directory when running 'bd init'. This will help
advertise Beads in open source repositories and provide quick reference
documentation for developers using AI coding agents.
The README will include:
- Brief explanation of Beads (AI-native issue tracking)
- Link to steveyegge/beads repository
- Quick reference of essential commands
- Compelling messaging to encourage adoption
The ID disambiguation logic treated 'offlinebrew-3d0' as ambiguous when
child IDs like 'offlinebrew-3d0.1' existed. Now the system:
1. Checks for exact full ID matches first (issue.ID == input)
2. Checks for exact hash matches (handling cross-prefix scenarios)
3. Only falls back to substring matching if no exact match is found
Added test cases verifying:
- 'offlinebrew-3d0' matches exactly, not ambiguously with children
- '3d0' without prefix still resolves to exact match

When using 'bd create --parent <id>', the system now automatically
creates a parent-child dependency linking the child to the parent.
This fixes epic status reporting which was showing zero children.
Fixes#318 (bd-jijf)
Changes:
- cmd/bd/create.go: Add parent-child dependency after issue creation
- internal/rpc/server_issues_epics.go: Add same fix for daemon mode
Tested:
- Created epic with children, verified epic status shows correct count
- Verified closing all children makes epic eligible for closure
- All tests pass

* feat: add performance testing framework foundation
Implements foundation for comprehensive performance testing and user
diagnostics for beads databases at 10K-20K scale.
Components added:
- Fixture generator (internal/testutil/fixtures/) for realistic test data
* LargeSQLite/XLargeSQLite: 10K/20K issues with epic hierarchies
* LargeFromJSONL/XLargeFromJSONL: test JSONL import path
* Realistic cross-linked dependencies, labels, assignees
* Reproducible with seeded RNG
- User diagnostics (bd doctor --perf) for field performance data
* Collects platform info (OS, arch, Go/SQLite versions)
* Measures key operation timings (ready, list, show, search)
* Generates CPU profiles for bug reports
* Clean separation in cmd/bd/doctor/perf.go
Test data characteristics:
- 10% epics, 30% features, 60% tasks
- 4-level hierarchies (Epic → Feature → Task → Subtask)
- 20% cross-epic blocking dependencies
- Realistic status/priority/label distributions
Supports bd-l954 (Performance Testing Framework epic)
Closes bd-6ed8, bd-q59i
* perf: optimize GetReadyWork with compound index (20x speedup)
Add compound index on dependencies(depends_on_id, type, issue_id) to
eliminate performance bottleneck in GetReadyWork recursive CTE query.
Performance improvements (10K issue database):
- GetReadyWork: 752ms → 36.6ms (20.5x faster)
- Target: <50ms ✓ ACHIEVED
- 20K database: ~1500ms → 79.4ms (19x faster)
Benchmark infrastructure enhancements:
- Add dataset caching in /tmp/beads-bench-cache/ to avoid regenerating
10K-20K issues on every benchmark run (first run: ~2min, subsequent: <5s)
- Add progress logging during fixture generation (shows 10%, 20%... completion)
- Add database size logging (17.5 MB for 10K, 35.1 MB for 20K)
- Document rationale for only benchmarking large datasets (>10K issues)
- Add CPU/trace profiling with --profile flag for performance debugging
Schema changes:
- internal/storage/sqlite/schema.go: Add idx_dependencies_depends_on_type_issue
New files:
- internal/storage/sqlite/bench_helpers_test.go: Reusable benchmark setup with caching
- internal/storage/sqlite/sqlite_bench_test.go: Comprehensive benchmarks for critical operations
- Makefile: Convenient benchmark execution (make bench-quick, make bench)
Related:
- Resolves bd-5qim (optimize GetReadyWork performance)
- Builds on bd-6ed8 (fixture generator), bd-q59i (bd doctor --perf)
* perf: add WASM compilation cache to eliminate cold-start overhead
Configure wazero compilation cache for ncruces/go-sqlite3 to avoid
~220ms JIT compilation on every process start.
Cache configuration:
- Location: ~/.cache/beads/wasm/ (platform-specific via os.UserCacheDir)
- Automatic version management: wazero keys entries by its version
- Fallback: in-memory cache if directory creation fails
- No cleanup needed: old versions are harmless (~5-10MB each)
Performance impact:
- First run: ~220ms (populate cache)
- Subsequent runs: ~20ms (load from cache)
- Savings: ~200ms per cold start
Cache invalidation:
- Automatic when wazero version changes (upgrades use new cache dir)
- Manual cleanup: rm -rf ~/.cache/beads/wasm/ (safe to delete anytime)
This complements daemon mode:
- Daemon mode: eliminates startup cost by keeping process alive
- WASM cache: reduces startup cost for one-off commands or daemon restarts
Changes:
- internal/storage/sqlite/sqlite.go: Add init() with cache setup
* refactor: improve maintainability of performance testing code
Extract common patterns and eliminate duplication across benchmarks, fixture generation, and performance diagnostics. Replace magic numbers with explicit configuration to improve readability and make it easier to tune test parameters.
* docs: clarify profiling behavior and add missing documentation
Add explanatory comments for profiling setup to clarify why --profile
forces direct mode (captures actual database operations instead of RPC
overhead) and document the stopCPUProfile function's role in flushing
profile data to disk. Also fix gosec G104 linter warning by explicitly
ignoring Close() error during cleanup.
* fix: prevent bench-quick from running indefinitely
Added //go:build bench tags and skipped timeout-prone benchmarks to
prevent make bench-quick from running for hours.
Changes:
- Add //go:build bench tag to cycle_bench_test.go and compact_bench_test.go
- Skip Dense graph benchmarks (documented to timeout >120s)
- Fix compact benchmark prefix: bd- → bd (validation expects prefix without trailing dash)
Before: make bench-quick ran for 3.5+ hours (12,699s) before manual interrupt
After: make bench-quick completes in ~25 seconds
The Dense graph benchmarks are known to timeout and represent rare edge
cases that don't need optimization for typical workflows.
- Force single connection for all in-memory databases (including file::memory:)
- Close rows before executing statements in external_ref migration
- Prevents connection pool deadlock with MaxOpenConns(1)
- Fixes test failures in syncbranch_test.go
Add external_ref field to CreateArgs and UpdateArgs RPC protocol
structs to enable linking issues to external systems (GitHub, Jira,
Shortcut, etc.) when using daemon mode.
Changes:
- Add ExternalRef field to rpc.CreateArgs and rpc.UpdateArgs
- Update bd create/update commands to pass external_ref via RPC
- Update daemon handlers to process external_ref field
- Add integration tests for create and update operations
The --external-ref flag now works correctly in both daemon and direct modes.

The schema initialization was trying to create an index on the external_ref
column before the migration that adds the column runs. This caused 'no such
column: external_ref' errors when opening very old databases (pre-0.17.5).
Solution: Move the index creation into the migration that adds the column.

- Implement comprehensive schema probe in sqlite.New() that verifies all
expected tables and columns after migrations
- Add retry logic: if probe fails, retry migrations once
- Return clear fatal error with missing schema elements if probe still fails
- Enhance daemon version gating: refuse RPC if client has newer minor version
- Improve checkVersionMismatch messaging: verify schema before claiming upgrade
- Add schema compatibility check to bd doctor command
- Add comprehensive tests for schema probing
This prevents the silent migration failure bug where:
1. Migrations fail silently
2. Database queries fail with 'no such column' errors
3. Import logic misinterprets as 'not found' and tries INSERT
4. Results in cryptic UNIQUE constraint errors

Adds fast unit tests for previously uncovered functions in the daemon package:
- checkDaemonErrorFile: tests reading daemon error files
- StopDaemon: tests error handling for non-running daemons
- KillAllDaemons: tests empty lists and non-alive daemons
- FindDaemonByWorkspace: tests not found case
- discoverDaemon: tests missing socket scenario
- CleanupStaleSockets: tests edge cases (already removed, alive daemon)
- Registry: tests corrupted file handling and unregistering non-existent entries
Coverage improved from 22.5% to 60.0% with only fast tests (<1s runtime).
All new tests work in -short mode and don't start actual daemons.

- Improve daemon status message when lock not held
- Helps field triage of connection issues without verbose daemon logs
- Fixes bd-j7e2
- Changed TryConnect default from 2s to 200ms
- Updated fallback timeout in TryConnectWithTimeout
- Complements bd-wgu4 lock probe to eliminate 5s delays
- Fixes GH#243 (5s delay when daemon socket missing)
- Health checks still use longer timeouts via explicit TryConnectWithTimeout calls
The daemon RPC server was crashing with a nil pointer dereference when the
global daemon received list, ready, stats, or other storage-dependent RPC
requests. The global daemon is created with nil storage, causing these
operations to panic when they attempted to access storage methods.
This fix adds defensive nil checks at the beginning of all RPC handlers
that require storage access. When storage is unavailable, they now return
a proper JSON error response instead of crashing the daemon.
The error message also informs users that the global daemon is deprecated
and they should use local daemons instead.
Handlers fixed:
- handleCreate, handleUpdate, handleClose
- handleList, handleShow, handleReady, handleStale
- handleResolveID, handleStats, handleEpicStatus
- handleCompact, handleCompactStats
- handleDepAdd (and via handleSimpleStoreOp for all label/dep/comment ops)

with underscores (total_issues, in_progress_issues, etc).
Fixed by updating loadStats() to use correct field names:
- stats.total -> stats.total_issues
- stats.by_status?.['in-progress'] -> stats.in_progress_issues
- stats.by_status?.open -> stats.open_issues
- stats.by_status?.closed -> stats.closed_issues

* fix: Make monitor require daemon to prevent SQLite locking
Implemented Option 1 from beads-eel: monitor now requires daemon and never
opens direct SQLite connection.
Changes:
- Added 'monitor' to noDbCommands list in main.go to skip normal DB initialization
- Added validateDaemonForMonitor() PreRun function that:
- Finds database path using beads.FindDatabasePath()
- Validates daemon is running and healthy
- Fails gracefully with clear error message if no daemon
- Only uses RPC connection, never opens SQLite directly
Benefits:
- Eliminates SQLite locking conflicts between monitor and daemon
- Users can now close/update issues via CLI while monitor runs
- Clear error messages guide users to start daemon first

* feat: enhance bd doctor sync detection with count and prefix mismatch checks
Improves bd doctor to detect actual database-JSONL sync issues instead of relying only on file modification times:
Key improvements:
1. Count detection: Reports when database issue count differs from JSONL (e.g., "Count mismatch: database has 0 issues, JSONL has 61")
2. Prefix detection: Identifies prefix mismatches when majority of JSONL issues use different prefix than database config
3. Error handling: Returns errors from helper functions instead of silent failures, distinguishing "can't open DB" from "counts differ"
4. Query optimization: Single database connection for all checks (reduced from 3 opens to 1)
5. Better error reporting: Shows actual error details when database or JSONL can't be read
This addresses the core issue where bd doctor would incorrectly report "Database and JSONL are in sync" when the database was empty but JSONL contained issues (as happened in privacy2 project).
Tests:
- Added TestCountJSONLIssuesWithMalformedLines to verify malformed JSON handling
- Existing doctor tests still pass
- countJSONLIssues now returns error to indicate parsing issues

The original message referenced './examples/git-hooks/install.sh' which doesn't exist in user projects. This fix changes the message to point to the actual location in the beads GitHub repository:
Before: "Run './examples/git-hooks/install.sh' to install recommended git hooks"
After: "See https://github.com/steveyegge/beads/tree/main/examples/git-hooks for installation instructions"

* feat: add recovery suggestions when database fails but JSONL has issues
When bd doctor detects that the database cannot be opened/queried but the JSONL file contains issues, it now suggests the recovery command:
Fix: Run 'bd import -i issues.jsonl --rename-on-import' to recover issues from JSONL
This addresses the case where:
- Database is corrupted or inaccessible
- JSONL has all the issues backed up
- User needs a clear path to recover
The check now:
1. Reads JSONL first (doesn't depend on database)
2. If database fails but JSONL has issues, suggests recovery command
3. If database can be queried, continues with sync checks as before
Tested on privacy2 project which has 61 issues in JSONL but inaccessible database.
