- bd edit now bypasses daemon to prevent broken pipe errors
- Editing in /usr/local/bin/emacsclient can take minutes, causing daemon timeout
- Added check in PersistentPreRun to set noDaemon=true for edit command
- Human-only interactive command doesn't benefit from daemon anyway
Fixes#227
After atomic rename during export, verify that the JSONL file contains
exactly the same number of lines as issues exported. This catches silent
export failures where the operation appears to succeed but doesn't
actually write all issues.
Real-world scenario that motivated this:
- SQL DELETE removed 240 issues
- 'bd export' appeared to succeed
- But JSONL was never updated
- Later session found all 240 deleted issues 'came back'
Changes:
- Add verification after os.Rename in exportCmd
- Reuse existing countIssuesInJSONL() helper
- Exit with clear error if mismatch detected
- Add test case that verifies detection works
Error message shown on mismatch:
Error: Export verification failed
Expected: 276 issues
JSONL file: 516 lines
Mismatch indicates export failed to write all issues
Tests:
✓ All existing export tests pass
✓ New test verifies line counting works correctly
✓ Test simulates corruption by truncating file
Performance: Verification is fast (just counts lines), minimal overhead
* 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

* fix: correct git hooks installation instructions in bd doctor
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"
This works for any project using bd, not just the beads repository itself.

* 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.

* fix: support hash-based issue IDs in import rename
The import --rename-on-import flag was rejecting valid issue IDs with
hash-based suffixes (e.g., privacy-09ea) because the validation only
accepted numeric suffixes. Beads now generates and accepts base36-encoded
hash IDs, so update the validation to match.
Changes:
- Update isNumeric() to accept base36 characters (0-9, a-z)
- Update tests to reflect hash-based ID support
- Add gosec nolint comment for safe file path construction
Fixes the error: "cannot rename issue privacy-09ea: non-numeric suffix '09ea'"

- 100% feature parity with standalone bd
Closes bd-febc
This change improves information density by using Base36 (0-9, a-z) instead
of hex (0-9, a-f) for hash-based issue IDs. Key benefits:
- Shorter IDs: Can now use 3-char IDs (was 4-char minimum)
- Better scaling: 3 chars good for ~160 issues, 4 chars for ~980 issues
- Case-insensitive: Maintains excellent CLI usability
- Backward compatible: Old hex IDs continue to work
Changes:
- Implemented Base36 encoding with proper truncation (keep LSB)
- Updated adaptive length thresholds (3-8 chars instead of 4-8)
- Fixed collision probability math to match encoding (was calculating
for base36 but encoding in hex - now both use base36)
- Fixed ID parser bug (use prefixWithHyphen for substring matching)
- Updated all tests and test data patterns

Problem: bd init --no-db returned early (line 131) before creating config files,
causing 'no beads database found' errors on subsequent commands.
Solution:
- Extracted createConfigYaml() helper function
- Call it in both --no-db and normal paths
- Create metadata.json in --no-db path before early return
Fixes bd-c66a
Multiple CLI commands had a systematic bug where ResolveID responses were
incorrectly converted using string(resp.Data) instead of json.Unmarshal.
Since resp.Data is json.RawMessage (already JSON-encoded), this preserved
the JSON quotes, causing IDs to become "bd-1048" instead of bd-1048.
When re-marshaled for subsequent RPC calls, these became double-quoted
("\"bd-1048\""), causing database lookups to fail.
Bugs fixed:
1. Nil pointer dereference in handleShow - added nil check after GetIssue
2. Double JSON encoding in 12 locations across 4 commands:
- bd show (3 instances in show.go)
- bd dep add/remove/tree (5 instances in dep.go)
- bd label add/remove/list (3 instances in label.go)
- bd reopen (1 instance in reopen.go)
All instances replaced string(resp.Data) with proper json.Unmarshal.
Removed debug logging added during investigation.
Tested: All affected commands now work correctly with daemon mode.
- Switched from modernc.org/sqlite to ncruces/go-sqlite3 for WASM support
- Added WASM-specific stubs for daemon process management
- Created wasm/ directory with build.sh and Node.js runner
- WASM build succeeds (32MB bd.wasm)
- Node.js can load and execute the WASM module
- Next: Need to bridge Go file I/O to Node.js fs module

Extracts duplicated path canonicalization logic (filepath.Abs + EvalSymlinks)
into a reusable helper function utils.CanonicalizePath() in internal/utils/path.go.
Changes:
- Add internal/utils/path.go with CanonicalizePath() function
- Add comprehensive tests in internal/utils/path_test.go
- Replace inline canonicalization in beads.go:131-140
- Replace inline canonicalization in cmd/bd/main.go:446-454
- Replace inline canonicalization in cmd/bd/nodb.go:25-33
The new helper maintains identical behavior:
1. Converts path to absolute form via filepath.Abs
2. Resolves symlinks via filepath.EvalSymlinks
3. Falls back gracefully on errors (returns absPath if EvalSymlinks fails,
returns original path if Abs fails)

Fixed TestHashIDs_IdenticalContentDedup test failure by removing duplicate
--json flag definitions that were shadowing the global persistent flag.
Root cause: Commands had both a persistent --json flag (main.go) and local
--json flags (in individual command files). The local flags shadowed the
persistent flag, preventing jsonOutput variable from being set correctly.
Changes:
- Removed 31 duplicate --json flag definitions from 15 command files
- All commands now use the single persistent --json flag from main.go
- Commands now correctly output JSON when --json flag is specified
Test results:
- TestHashIDs_IdenticalContentDedup: Now passes (was failing)
- TestHashIDs_MultiCloneConverge: Passes without JSON parsing warnings
- All other tests: Pass with no regressions

Add BEADS_DIR as a replacement for BEADS_DB to point to the .beads
directory instead of the database file directly.
Rationale:
- With --no-db mode, there's no .db file to point to
- The .beads directory is the logical unit (contains config.yaml, db
files, jsonl files)
- More intuitive: point to the beads directory not the database file
Implementation:
- Add BEADS_DIR environment variable support to FindDatabasePath()
- Priority order: BEADS_DIR > BEADS_DB > auto-discovery
- Maintain backward compatibility with BEADS_DB (now deprecated)
- Update --no-db mode to respect BEADS_DIR
- Update MCP integration (config.py, bd_client.py)
- Update documentation to show BEADS_DIR as preferred method
Testing:
- Backward compatibility: BEADS_DB still works
- BEADS_DIR works with regular database mode
- BEADS_DIR works with --no-db mode
- Priority: BEADS_DIR takes precedence over BEADS_DB
Follow-up issues for refactoring:
- bd-efe8: Refactor path canonicalization into helper function
- bd-c362: Extract database search logic into helper function

Implement a new `bd status` command that provides a quick snapshot of the
issue database state, similar to how `git status` shows working tree state.
Features:
- Summary counts by state (open, in-progress, blocked, closed)
- Ready to work count
- Recent activity stats (last 7 days): created, closed, updated issues
- Support for --assigned flag to filter by current user
- JSON output format with --json flag
- Comprehensive test coverage
Usage examples:
bd status # Show summary
bd status --json # JSON output
bd status --assigned # Filter to assigned issues
bd status --no-daemon # Direct mode with recent activity
Note: Recent activity currently only works in direct mode (--no-daemon).
Daemon mode support marked with TODO for future enhancement.
