Add nullable external_ref TEXT field to link bd issues with external
systems like GitHub Issues, Jira, etc. Includes automatic schema
migration for backward compatibility.
Changes:
- Added external_ref column to issues table with feature-based migration
- Updated Issue struct with ExternalRef *string field
- Added --external-ref flag to bd create and bd update commands
- Updated all SQL queries across the codebase to include external_ref:
- GetIssue, CreateIssue, UpdateIssue, SearchIssues
- GetDependencies, GetDependents, GetDependencyTree
- GetReadyWork, GetBlockedIssues, GetIssuesByLabel
- Added external_ref handling in import/export logic
- Follows existing patterns for nullable fields (sql.NullString)
This enables tracking relationships between bd issues and external
systems without requiring changes to existing databases or JSONL files.

Added dependency support to export/import workflow:
Changes:
- Added GetDependencyRecords() to Storage interface to get raw dependency records
- Extended Issue struct with Dependencies field (omitempty for backward compat)
- Modified export.go to populate dependencies for each issue
- Modified import.go to process dependencies in second pass after all issues exist
- All tests pass
Benefits:
- JSONL is now self-contained with full dependency information
- Enables proper collision resolution in future (bd-12+)
- Idempotent imports: existing dependencies are not duplicated
- Forward references handled: dependencies created after all issues exist
Example output:
{
"id": "bd-10",
"title": "...",
"dependencies": [{
"issue_id": "bd-10",
"depends_on_id": "bd-9",
"type": "parent-child",
"created_at": "...",
"created_by": "stevey"
}]
}
Closes bd-10

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

- Fixed cycle detection to return full paths (not just issue IDs)
- Added cycle prevention in AddDependency (validates before commit)
- Added comprehensive input validation (priority, status, types, etc.)
- Fixed N+1 query in GetBlockedIssues (using GROUP_CONCAT)
- Improved query building in GetReadyWork (proper string joining)
- Fixed P0 priority filter bug (using Changed() instead of value check)
All critical and major issues from code review have been addressed.
