Allows reparenting issues to a different epic/parent:
bd update bd-xyz --parent=bd-epic
Implementation:
- Add Parent field to UpdateArgs in protocol.go
- Handle reparenting in RPC handler (server_issues_epics.go)
- Add --parent flag to updateCmd with both daemon and direct mode support
- Remove old parent-child dependency before adding new one
- Pass empty string to remove parent entirely

The defer-in-loop pattern was causing all routed storage connections
to accumulate until function exit. This could lead to resource leaks
when showing multiple routed issues. Now explicitly close each
connection after processing each issue.

When an ID needs routing to a different beads directory, the daemon
cannot resolve it. Now we check needsRouting() before daemon resolution
and handle routed IDs via direct mode with routing.

When closing an issue, the new --suggest-next flag returns a list of
issues that became unblocked (ready to work on) as a result of the close.
This helps agents and users quickly identify what work is now available
after completing a blocker.
Example:
$ bd close bd-5 --suggest-next
✓ Closed bd-5: Completed
Newly unblocked:
• bd-7 "Implement feature X" (P1)
• bd-8 "Write tests for X" (P2)
Implementation:
- Added GetNewlyUnblockedByClose to storage interface
- Implemented efficient single-query for SQLite using blocked_issues_cache
- Added SuggestNext field to CloseArgs in RPC protocol
- Added CloseResult type for structured response
- CLI handles both daemon and direct modes
Thanks to @kraitsura for the detailed feature request and design.

Replace fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, ...) + os.Exit(1) patterns with
FatalErrorRespectJSON() in updateCmd, closeCmd, and editCmd.
This ensures that when --json flag is set, errors are returned as
JSON objects ({"error": "message"}) instead of plain text.
Fixes: bd-28sq.1
- Add FatalErrorRespectJSON helper for JSON-aware error output
- Fix bd comments list returning null instead of [] for empty arrays
- Remove redundant local --json flags from show/update/close commands
that were shadowing the global persistent --json flag
- Update show command error handlers to use FatalErrorRespectJSON

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.

Allow changing an issue type (bug, feature, task, epic, chore) via the
bd update command. The storage layer already supported issue_type in
allowedUpdateFields, this just exposes it through the CLI.
Changes:
- Add --type/-t flag to updateCmd in show.go
- Add IssueType field to UpdateArgs in protocol.go
- Handle issue_type in updatesFromArgs in server_issues_epics.go
- Add validation using ParseIssueType before update
Example usage:
bd update ab-xyz --type epic
Fixes: #522
Update bd show command to include status information for all dependency
types (children, blocks, related, discovered). Issues now display with
format [P1 - closed] instead of just [P1].
This provides better visibility into the state of dependent issues
without needing to run bd show on each individual issue.
Changes:
- Updated daemon mode formatting for all dependency types (lines 208, 214, 220, 226)
- Updated direct mode formatting for all dependency types (lines 400, 406, 412, 418)
- Changed format from "[P%d]" to "[P%d - %s]" with dash separator
Example output:
Children (9):
↳ pma-an8: Create config.py module [P1 - closed]
↳ pma-38g: Create utils.py module [P1 - open]
Blocks (1):
← pma-uzm: Adapt validate_outputs.py [P1 - blocked]

The estimated_minutes field existed in the Issue schema but wasn't exposed
via CLI. This adds:
- --estimate / -e flag to bd create (e.g., bd create "Task" --estimate 120)
- --estimate / -e flag to bd update (e.g., bd update bd-xyz --estimate 60)
- EstimatedMinutes field to RPC CreateArgs and UpdateArgs
- Server-side handling in handleCreate and updatesFromArgs
- Validation for non-negative values
The value is specified in minutes and is useful for planning and
prioritization. The vscode-beads extension already has an Estimate column
that can now be populated.

Add a --readonly flag that blocks all write operations, allowing workers
to read beads state without modifying it. Workers can use:
- bd show, bd list, bd ready (read operations)
Workers cannot use:
- bd create, bd update, bd close, bd sync, etc. (write operations)
The flag can be set via:
- --readonly flag on command line
- BD_READONLY=true environment variable
- readonly: true in config file
This enables swarm workers to see their assigned work from a static
snapshot of the beads database without accidentally modifying it.
Commands protected by readonly mode:
- create, update, close, delete, edit
- sync, import, reopen
- comment add, dep add/remove, label add/remove
- repair-deps, compact, migrate, migrate-hash-ids, migrate-issues
- rename-prefix, validate --fix-all, duplicates --auto-merge
