Modernize sorting code to use Go 1.21+ slices package:
- Replace sort.Slice with slices.SortFunc across 16 files
- Use cmp.Compare for orderable types (strings, ints)
- Use time.Time.Compare for time comparisons
- Use cmp.Or for multi-field sorting
- Use slices.SortStableFunc where stability matters
Benefits: cleaner 3-way comparison, slightly better performance,
modern idiomatic Go.

The 'bd pin' command was failing with "invalid field for update: pinned"
because the pinned field was missing from allowedUpdateFields.
Fixes:
- Add 'pinned' to allowedUpdateFields in queries.go
- Update importer to include pinned field in updates during import
- Add equalBool comparator for IssueDataChanged to detect pinned changes
- Fix stats query to count pinned=1 instead of status='pinned'
- Fix pinIndicator in list.go to check issue.Pinned instead of status
This unblocks gt mail --pinned functionality.

Resolves conflicts and converts new defer/undefer commands from
fatih/color to the lipgloss semantic color system.
Key changes:
- Added StatusDeferred case in graph.go with ui.RenderAccent
- Converted status.go to use ui package for colorized output
- Converted defer.go/undefer.go to use ui package
- Merged GroupID and Aliases for status command
- Updated pre-commit hook version to 0.31.0
- Ran go mod tidy to remove fatih/color dependency
- Update nix vendorHash after fatih/color removal
- Bump version to 0.30.7
- Add GroupID to remaining commands for proper cobra grouping
- Apply semantic color rendering to list and stale commands
- Update pre-commit hook template
Add 'deferred' as a valid issue status for issues that are deliberately
put on ice - not blocked by dependencies, just postponed for later.
Changes:
- Add StatusDeferred constant and update IsValid() validation
- Add DeferredIssues to Statistics struct with counting in both SQLite
and memory storage
- Add 'bd defer' command to set status to deferred
- Add 'bd undefer' command to restore status to open
- Update help text across list, search, count, dep, stale, and config
- Update MCP server models and tools to accept deferred status
- Add deferred to blocker status checks (schema, cache, ready, compact)
- Add StatusDeferred to public API exports (beads.go, internal/beads)
- Add snowflake styling for deferred in dep tree and graph views
Semantics:
- deferred vs blocked: deferred is a choice, blocked is forced
- deferred vs closed: deferred will be revisited, closed is done
- Deferred issues excluded from 'bd ready' (already works since
default filter only includes open/in_progress)
- Deferred issues still block dependents (they are not done!)
- Deferred issues visible in 'bd list' and 'bd stale'

Adds automatic label filtering based on current working directory:
- New config option: directory.labels (maps directory patterns to labels)
- bd ready and bd list auto-apply label filtering when in matching directory
- Uses --label-any semantics (shows issues with any of the matching labels)
Config example:
```yaml
directory:
labels:
packages/maverick: maverick
packages/agency: agency
```
When running `bd ready` from `packages/maverick/`, issues labeled
"maverick" are automatically shown first, without needing --label-any.

- selectNextTip() filters eligible tips and applies probability
- Metadata storage tracks when tips were last shown
- Respects --json and --quiet flags
- Deterministic testing via BEADS_TIP_SEED env var
Integration Points:
- bd list: Shows tip after listing issues
- bd ready: Shows tip after showing ready work (or no work)
- bd create: Shows tip after creating issue
- bd show: Shows tip after showing issue details
Testing:
- Unit tests for tip selection logic
- Tests for frequency limits and probability
- Tests for metadata tracking
- Example tip definitions for documentation
Next Steps:
- bd-81a: Add programmatic tip injection API
- bd-tne: Add Claude setup tip with dynamic priority

Implement automatic bd version tracking and upgrade awareness:
- Add LastBdVersion field to Config struct in metadata.json
- Auto-update version on every bd command in PersistentPreRun
- Add 'bd upgrade' command with status/review/ack subcommands
- Show upgrade notifications on 'bd ready' and 'bd list'
- Non-intrusive: only shows once per session, skipped for JSON output
The system tracks version changes automatically and helps users stay
aware of bd upgrades without manual intervention. Notifications are
graceful - failures don't break commands.

Complete implementation of signal-aware context propagation for graceful
cancellation across all commands and storage operations.
Key changes:
1. Signal-aware contexts (bd-rtp):
- Added rootCtx/rootCancel in main.go using signal.NotifyContext()
- Set up in PersistentPreRun, cancelled in PersistentPostRun
- Daemon uses same pattern in runDaemonLoop()
- Handles SIGINT/SIGTERM for graceful shutdown
2. Context propagation (bd-yb8):
- All commands now use rootCtx instead of context.Background()
- sqlite.New() receives context for cancellable operations
- Database operations respect context cancellation
- Storage layer propagates context through all queries
3. Cancellation tests (bd-2o2):
- Added import_cancellation_test.go with comprehensive tests
- Added export cancellation test in export_test.go
- Tests verify database integrity after cancellation
- All cancellation tests passing
Fixes applied during review:
- Fixed rootCtx lifecycle (removed premature defer from PersistentPreRun)
- Fixed test context contamination (reset rootCtx in test cleanup)
- Fixed export tests missing context setup
Impact:
- Pressing Ctrl+C during import/export now cancels gracefully
- No database corruption or hanging transactions
- Clean shutdown of all operations
Tested:
- go build ./cmd/bd ✓
- go test ./cmd/bd -run TestImportCancellation ✓
- go test ./cmd/bd -run TestExportCommand ✓
- Manual Ctrl+C testing verified

Problem:
In direct mode, bd list was making a separate GetLabels() call for
each issue when displaying labels. With 538 issues, this resulted in
538 separate database queries.
While investigating the reported 5+ second slowness, discovered this
N+1 query issue that would impact performance with many issues.
Solution:
1. Added GetLabelsForIssues(issueIDs []string) to Storage interface
2. Implemented bulk fetch in SQLite (already existed, now exposed)
3. Implemented bulk fetch in MemoryStorage
4. Updated list.go to fetch all labels in single query
Changes:
- internal/storage/storage.go: Add GetLabelsForIssues to interface
- internal/storage/memory/memory.go: Implement GetLabelsForIssues
- cmd/bd/list.go: Use bulk fetching in all output modes
Impact:
Eliminates N queries for labels, replacing with 1 bulk query.
This optimization applies to direct mode only (daemon mode already
uses bulk operations via RPC).
Note: The reported 5s slowness was actually caused by daemon auto-start
timeout. Use --no-daemon flag or run 'bd migrate --update-repo-id' to
resolve the legacy database issue causing daemon startup failures.

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

When using `bd list --json`, each issue now includes:
- `dependency_count`: Number of issues this issue depends on
- `dependent_count`: Number of issues that depend on this issue
This provides quick access to dependency relationship counts without
needing to fetch full dependency lists or run multiple bd show commands.
Performance:
- Uses single bulk query (GetDependencyCounts) instead of N individual queries
- Overhead: ~26% for 500 issues (24ms vs 19ms baseline)
- Avoids N+1 query problem that would have caused 2.2x slowdown
Implementation:
- Added GetDependencyCounts() to Storage interface for bulk counting
- Efficient SQLite query using UNION ALL + GROUP BY
- Memory storage implementation for testing
- Moved IssueWithCounts to types package to avoid duplication
- Both RPC and direct modes use optimized bulk query
Tests:
- Added comprehensive tests for GetDependencyCounts
- Tests cover: normal operation, empty list, nonexistent IDs
- All existing tests continue to pass
Backwards compatible: JSON structure is additive, all original fields preserved.

The status filter was treating 'all' as a literal status value instead of
a special case meaning 'show all statuses'. This caused the SQL query to
filter for 'WHERE status = all' which matched no issues.
Fixed by checking if status is 'all' and skipping the filter in that case.

- Update CHANGELOG with fix details
- All tests pass
- Add daemon client infrastructure to main.go with TryConnect logic
- Update PersistentPreRun to detect daemon socket and route through RPC
- Add --no-daemon flag to force direct storage mode

- Maintain backward compatibility with graceful fallback to direct mode
- All commands work identically in both daemon and direct modes

Enhance Graphviz dot output with status-based fill colors:
- open: white background (default)
- in_progress: light yellow background
- blocked: light coral background
- closed: light gray background with dimmed text
Node labels show: ID, type, priority, title, and status.
Priority is visible in the label (e.g., [bug P0]) but not color-coded
to keep the visualization clean and focused on status.
Add flexible --format flag to 'bd list' command supporting:
- Built-in presets: 'digraph' (basic 'from to' format) and 'dot' (Graphviz)
- Custom Go templates for dependency output
- Template variables: IssueID, DependsOnID, Type, Issue, Dependency
This enables graph analysis with tools like golang.org/x/tools/cmd/digraph while allowing users to customize output format for their specific needs.
Examples:
bd list --format=digraph | digraph nodes
bd list --format=dot | dot -Tsvg -o deps.svg
bd list --format='{{.IssueID}} -> {{.DependsOnID}} [{{.Type}}]'
