Implements bd-42: Add test coverage for auto-flush feature
Created cmd/bd/main_test.go with 11 comprehensive test functions:
- TestAutoFlushDirtyMarking: Verifies markDirtyAndScheduleFlush() marks DB as dirty
- TestAutoFlushDisabled: Tests --no-auto-flush flag disables feature
- TestAutoFlushDebounce: Tests rapid operations result in single flush
- TestAutoFlushClearState: Tests clearAutoFlushState() resets state
- TestAutoFlushOnExit: Tests flush happens on program exit
- TestAutoFlushConcurrency: Tests concurrent operations don't cause races
- TestAutoFlushStoreInactive: Tests flush skips when store is inactive
- TestAutoFlushJSONLContent: Tests flushed JSONL has correct content
- TestAutoFlushErrorHandling: Tests error scenarios (permissions, etc.)
- TestAutoImportIfNewer: Tests auto-import when JSONL is newer than DB
- TestAutoImportDisabled: Tests --no-auto-import flag disables auto-import
Coverage results:
- markDirtyAndScheduleFlush: 100%
- clearAutoFlushState: 100%
- flushToJSONL: 67.6%
- autoImportIfNewer: 66.1% (up from 0%)
All tests pass. Auto-flush feature is now thoroughly tested.

Three improvements to beads:
1. ID space partitioning (closes bd-24)
- Add --id flag to 'bd create' for explicit ID assignment
- Validates format: prefix-number (e.g., worker1-100)
- Enables parallel agents to partition ID space and avoid conflicts
- Storage layer already supported this, just wired up CLI
2. Auto-flush failure tracking (closes bd-38)
- Track consecutive flush failures with counter and last error
- Show prominent red warning after 3+ consecutive failures
- Reset counter on successful flush
- Users get clear guidance to run manual export if needed
3. Manual export cancels auto-flush timer
- Add clearAutoFlushState() helper function
- bd export now cancels pending auto-flush and clears dirty flag
- Prevents redundant exports when user manually exports
- Also resets failure counter on successful manual export
Documentation updated in README.md and CLAUDE.md with --id flag examples.

Downgraded bd-25 to P4 and closed as won't-fix for 1.0:
- Transaction support is premature optimization
- SQLite already provides ACID guarantees per-operation
- Collision resolution works reliably without multi-operation transactions
- Would add significant complexity for theoretical benefit
Will revisit if actual issues arise in production use.

Added os.MkdirAll(dbDir, 0755) to ensure the .beads directory exists
before attempting to glob for JSONL files. This fixes a bug where
findJSONLPath() would fail silently if the directory doesn't exist yet,
which can happen during new database initialization.
The fix:
- Creates the directory with 0755 permissions if it doesn't exist
- Handles errors gracefully by returning the default path
- Subsequent write operations will still fail with clear errors if
directory creation fails
Closes bd-36

Adds auto-import feature to complement bd-35's auto-export, completing
the automatic sync workflow for git collaboration.
**Implementation:**
- Auto-import checks if JSONL is newer than DB on command startup
- Silently imports JSONL when modification time is newer
- Skips import command itself to avoid recursion
- Can be disabled with --no-auto-import flag
**Documentation updates:**
- Updated README.md git workflow section
- Updated CLAUDE.md workflow and pro tips
- Updated bd quickstart with auto-sync section
- Updated git hooks README to clarify they're now optional
**Testing:**
- Tested auto-import by touching JSONL and running commands
- Tested auto-export with create/close operations
- Complete workflow verified working
Closes bd-33

Fixed three critical issues identified in code review:
1. Race condition with store access: Added storeMutex and storeActive
flag to prevent background flush goroutine from accessing closed
store. Background timer now safely checks if store is active before
attempting flush operations.
2. Missing auto-flush in import: Added markDirtyAndScheduleFlush()
call after import completes, ensuring imported issues sync to JSONL.
3. Timer cleanup: Explicitly set flushTimer to nil after Stop() to
prevent resource leaks.
Testing confirmed all fixes working:
- Debounced flush triggers after 5 seconds of inactivity
- Immediate flush on process exit works correctly
- Import operations now trigger auto-flush
- No race conditions detected

This is a fundamental architectural shift from binary SQLite to JSONL as
the source of truth for git workflows.
## New Features
- `bd export --format=jsonl` - Export issues to JSON Lines format
- `bd import` - Import issues from JSONL (create new, update existing)
- `--skip-existing` flag for import to only create new issues
## Architecture Change
**Before:** Binary SQLite database committed to git
**After:** JSONL text files as source of truth, SQLite as ephemeral cache
Benefits:
- Git-friendly text format with clean diffs
- AI-resolvable merge conflicts (append-only is 95% conflict-free)
- Human-readable issue tracking in git
- No binary merge conflicts
## Documentation
- Updated README with JSONL-first workflow and git hooks
- Added TEXT_FORMATS.md analyzing JSONL vs CSV vs binary
- Updated GIT_WORKFLOW.md with historical context
- .gitignore now excludes *.db, includes .beads/*.jsonl
## Implementation Details
- Export sorts issues by ID for consistent diffs
- Import handles both creates and updates atomically
- Proper handling of pointer fields (EstimatedMinutes)
- All tests passing
## Breaking Changes
- Database files (*.db) should now be gitignored
- Use export/import workflow for git collaboration
- Git hooks recommended for automation
