Removes the legacy YAML-based simple template system that provided
bug/epic/feature templates for --from-template flag on bd create.
Removed:
- cmd/bd/templates/bug.yaml, epic.yaml, feature.yaml
- Template struct and all YAML loading functions in template.go
- --from-template flag from bd create command
- template_security_test.go (tested removed functions)
- YAML template tests from template_test.go
The Beads template system remains (epics with "template" label,
instantiated via bd template instantiate with variable substitution).

Remove the external MCP Agent Mail server integration that required
running a separate HTTP server and configuring environment variables.
The native `bd mail` system (stored as git-synced issues) remains
unchanged and is the recommended approach for inter-agent messaging.
Files removed:
- cmd/bd/message.go - Legacy `bd message` command
- integrations/beads-mcp/src/beads_mcp/mail.py, mail_tools.py
- lib/beads_mail_adapter.py - Python adapter library
- examples/go-agent/ - Agent Mail-focused example
- examples/python-agent/agent_with_mail.py, AGENT_MAIL_EXAMPLE.md
- docs/AGENT_MAIL*.md, docs/adr/002-agent-mail-integration.md
- tests/integration/test_agent_race.py, test_mail_failures.py, etc.
- tests/benchmarks/ - Agent Mail benchmarks
Updated documentation to remove Agent Mail references while keeping
native `bd mail` documentation intact.

Implements native Beads templates as an alternative to YAML templates:
- Templates are epics with the "template" label and {{variable}} placeholders
- `bd template list` shows both YAML and Beads templates
- `bd template show <id>` displays template structure and variables
- `bd template instantiate <id> --var key=value` clones subgraph with substitution
Key implementation:
- loadTemplateSubgraph: Recursively loads epic and all descendants
- cloneSubgraph: Creates new issues with ID remapping in a transaction
- extractVariables/substituteVariables: {{name}} pattern handling
Closes bd-r6a.2, bd-r6a.4

Remove the entire YAML-based workflow system in preparation for
redesigning templates as native Beads.
Removed:
- cmd/bd/templates/workflows/*.yaml
- cmd/bd/workflow.go
- internal/types/workflow.go (WorkflowTemplate types)
The new design will use regular Beads with a template label,
and a clone-with-substitution operation for instantiation.

- `bd workflow verify <task-id>` - Run verification command
Features:
- Variable substitution with {{var}} syntax
- Built-in variables: {{today}}, {{user}}
- Preflight checks before workflow creation
- Hierarchical task IDs under epic (bd-xxx.1, bd-xxx.2)
- Dependency graph between tasks
- Verification commands embedded in task descriptions
Includes built-in `version-bump` template with 21 tasks covering:
- All 10+ version files

- bd delete --hard: New flag to immediately prune tombstones from JSONL
- Import: Add early tombstone check before all phases to prevent resurrection
The early tombstone check prevents ghost issues from being created when
tombstones exist in the DB. However, a deeper git merge issue (bd-ncwo)
can still cause resurrection when remote's status:closed wins the merge.

that matches skills/beads/SKILL.md guidance:

- TodoWrite is fine for simple single-session linear tasks

Add bd sync --check command that performs pre-sync integrity checks
without modifying state:
1. Force push detection: Detects when sync branch has diverged from
remote, indicating a potential force push
2. Prefix mismatch detection: Scans JSONL for issues that don't match
the configured prefix
3. Orphaned children detection: Finds issues with parent references
to non-existent issues
Outputs diagnostic with actionable suggestions for each problem found.
Exits with code 1 if any problems are detected.
Implements bd-hlsw.1: Pre-sync integrity check
When bd sync pushes from the sync-branch worktree, the pre-push hook
would detect uncommitted JSONL changes and suggest running bd sync -
which is circular since that's what the user is already doing.
Fix: Set BD_SYNC_IN_PROGRESS=1 environment variable when pushing from
worktree, and update pre-push hook to skip checks when this var is set.
Updated files:
- internal/syncbranch/worktree.go: Set env var on push command
- cmd/bd/templates/hooks/pre-push: Check for env var and exit early
- examples/git-hooks/pre-push: Same check
- .beads-hooks/pre-push: Same check
