Update import/export to handle tombstones for deletion sync propagation:
Exporter:
- Include tombstones in JSONL output by setting IncludeTombstones: true
- Both single-repo and multi-repo exports now include tombstones
Importer:
- Tombstones from JSONL are imported as-is (they're issues with status=tombstone)
- Legacy deletions.jsonl entries are converted to tombstones via convertDeletionToTombstone()
- Non-tombstone issues in deletions manifest are still skipped (backward compat)
- purgeDeletedIssues() now creates tombstones instead of hard-deleting
This is Phase 2 of the tombstone implementation (bd-dli design), enabling
inline soft-delete tracking for cross-clone deletion synchronization.

When sync-branch is configured in config.yaml, bd init now reads from
that branch (origin/<branch> first, then local <branch>) instead of
HEAD. This ensures fresh clones correctly import issues from the sync
branch.
Key changes:
- checkGitForIssues() now returns gitRef (third return value)
- New getLocalSyncBranch() reads sync-branch directly from config.yaml
(not cached global config) to handle test environments where CWD changes
- importFromGit() accepts gitRef parameter to read from correct branch
- Added readFirstIssueFromGit() for prefix auto-detection from git
- Fixed macOS symlink issue: filepath.EvalSymlinks() ensures /var and

🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)

When syncing JSONL to worktree, if the worktree has more issues than
local, merge them instead of blindly overwriting. This prevents fresh
clones from accidentally deleting remote issues when they sync with
fewer issues than the sync branch.
Root cause of GitHub #464: A fresh clone with sync-branch configured
would start with an empty database (since JSONL is on sync-branch, not
HEAD). When syncing, the local 1-issue JSONL would overwrite the
remotes 10-issue JSONL, and the subsequent 3-way merge would see this
as local deleted 9 issues causing deletion to win.
The fix compares issue counts and triggers a merge when local has fewer
issues than the worktree (remote). Uses 3-way merge with empty base to
combine both sets of issues.

* fix: use os.Lstat for symlink-safe mtime and permission checks
On NixOS and other systems using symlinks heavily (e.g., home-manager),
os.Stat follows symlinks and returns the target's metadata. This causes:
1. False staleness detection when JSONL is symlinked - mtime of target
changes unpredictably when symlinks are recreated
2. os.Chmod failing or changing wrong file's permissions when target
is in read-only location (e.g., /nix/store)
3. os.Chtimes modifying target's times instead of the symlink itself
Changes:
- autoimport.go: Use Lstat for JSONL mtime in CheckStaleness()
- import.go: Use Lstat in TouchDatabaseFile() for JSONL mtime
- export.go: Skip chmod for symlinked files
- multirepo.go: Use Lstat for JSONL mtime cache
- multirepo_export.go: Use Lstat for mtime, skip chmod for symlinks
- doctor/fix/permissions.go: Skip permission fixes for symlinked paths
These changes are safe cross-platform:
- On systems without symlinks, Lstat behaves identically to Stat
- Symlink permission bits are ignored on Unix anyway
- The extra Lstat syscall overhead is negligible
Fixes symlink-related data loss on NixOS. See GitHub issue #379.

* test: add symlink behavior tests for NixOS compatibility
Add tests that verify symlink handling behavior:

- TestPermissions_SkipsSymlinkedBeadsDir: verifies chmod is skipped
for symlinked .beads directories
- TestPermissions_SkipsSymlinkedDatabase: verifies chmod is skipped
for symlinked database files while still fixing .beads dir perms

The copilotInstructionsContent in onboard.go contained content specific to
developing the beads project itself (Go tech stack, SQLite, Cobra, project
structure, release scripts, etc.). This content doesn't make sense when
running bd onboard in other repositories that use bd for issue tracking.
Removed:
- Tech Stack section (Go, SQLite, Cobra, etc.)
- Coding Guidelines section (beads development instructions)
- Project Structure section (beads directory tree)
- Scripts section (bump-version.sh, release.sh, etc.)
- Key Documentation section (beads-specific docs)
- Beads-specific rules (BEADS_DB testing, test issues in production DB)
Kept:
- All bd command examples and workflow (unchanged)
- Priorities and issue types
- MCP server instructions
- Generic rules applicable to any project using bd
The beads repo's own .github/copilot-instructions.md is manually maintained
and still contains the beads-specific development instructions.
The beads plugin now provides SessionStart and PreCompact hooks directly
via plugin.json. Users no longer need to run 'bd setup claude' when using
the plugin - hooks are automatically available.
Changes:
- Add hooks section to .claude-plugin/plugin.json with SessionStart and
PreCompact hooks that run 'bd prime'
- Update doctor/claude.go to recognize plugin-provided hooks as valid
- Update tips.go to check for plugin installation when determining if
Claude integration is complete
- Update messaging to recommend plugin installation as primary option
The 'bd setup claude' command remains available for CLI-only users who
do not want to install the plugin.

Replaces manual working directory save/restore patterns
with Go's built-in `t.Chdir()` helper across 23 test files.
The manual pattern involved calling `os.Getwd()` to save
the original directory, using `defer os.Chdir(origWd)` for
restoration, and manually handling errors during directory
changes. This boilerplate has been replaced with single
`t.Chdir(path)` calls that handle cleanup automatically.
The `t.Chdir()` method automatically restores the working
directory when the test completes, eliminating the need for
manual defer statements and error handling.
Total:
~75 instances replaced (assuming Claude's math is right)

Add a `--stealth` flag to `bd setup claude` that installs
Claude Code hooks using `bd prime --stealth` instead of
`bd prime`. This extends the stealth workflow introduced for
`bd prime` to the setup command, enabling workflows where git
operations should be deferred or handled separately from bd
database flushing.
When `--stealth` is specified, the installed hooks call
`bd prime --stealth`, which outputs only `bd sync --flush-only`
in the close protocol, omitting all git operations.
Update `RemoveClaude()` to remove both command variants
(`bd prime` and `bd prime --stealth`) for backwards
compatibility with existing installations. Update
`hasBeadsHooks()` to detect either variant as a valid
installation.
Add comprehensive test coverage for stealth mode: hook
installation with stealth command, removal of both variants,
detection of both variants, and idempotency with stealth mode.

Add a `--stealth` flag to `bd prime` that outputs a simplified
workflow using only `bd sync --flush-only`, omitting all git
operations (commit, push, pull).
This addresses use cases where git operations need to be deferred
or handled separately from the bd workflow (e.g. bd init --stealth),
where committing files is may not desired as part of the Claude
conversation.
In stealth mode, the close protocol shows only the flush step.
Includes tests for current and existing functionality.
To make testing easier,
refactor output functions to accept `io.Writer` parameters
instead of writing directly to `os.Stdout`,
and convert `isEphemeralBranch` from a function to a
variable for stubbing.
