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

Git merge drivers only support three placeholders:
- %O (ancestor/base)
- %A (current version)
- %B (other branch's version)
The code was incorrectly using %L and %R, which don't exist in git,
causing them to be passed through literally and breaking JSONL merges.
Changes:
- Fixed merge driver config in init.go, merge.go, README.md, docs
- Added detection in bd doctor with clear error messages
- Added auto-fix in bd doctor --fix
- Added proactive warning in bd sync before git pull
- Added reactive error detection after merge failures
- Updated all tests to use correct placeholders
Now users get helpful guidance at every step:
1. bd doctor detects the issue
2. bd doctor --fix auto-corrects it
3. bd sync warns before pulling if misconfigured
4. Error messages suggest bd doctor --fix when merge fails

GH #210: bd init --no-db was creating config.yaml but leaving
no-db commented out, forcing users to pass --no-db on every command.
Changes:
- Modified createConfigYaml() to accept noDbMode parameter
- When true, writes 'no-db: true' instead of '# no-db: false'
- Added TestInitNoDbMode() to verify end-to-end workflow
The config reading logic was already in place (main.go:122), just needed
to write the correct value during init.
Fixes bd-5cny

- Changed bd init to always create beads.db instead of {prefix}.db
- Added migration logic to detect and rename old databases
- Updated findDatabaseInTree to prefer beads.db and warn on multiple .db files
- Daemon now refuses to start if multiple .db files exist (ambiguity error)
- Updated tests to expect beads.db instead of prefix-based naming
- Tested migration, ambiguity detection, and warning messages
Fixes#118 - Users can now initialize databases outside project directory
Changes:
- Check BEADS_DB env var in init command (PersistentPreRun skipped for init)
- Use global dbPath from --db flag or BEADS_DB, else default to .beads/{prefix}.db
- Use canonical path comparison (filepath.Abs + Clean) instead of strings.Contains
- Only create .beads/ directory when database is actually local
- Ensure parent directory exists for custom database paths
- Add comprehensive tests for --db flag, BEADS_DB env var, and edge cases
- Fix test isolation by resetting global dbPath in test setup
Tests:
- Custom path with --db flag
- Custom path with BEADS_DB env var
- Custom path containing ".beads" substring (prevents false positive)
- Flag precedence over env var
- All existing tests still pass

- Add TestInitCommand with subtests for default prefix, custom prefix, quiet flag, and prefix normalization
- Add TestInitAlreadyInitialized to verify re-initialization works correctly
- Tests verify database creation, config storage, and metadata
- Tests verify -q/--quiet flag suppresses output correctly
- All tests pass
The -q flag was already working correctly; this just adds test coverage.
