This change improves information density by using Base36 (0-9, a-z) instead
of hex (0-9, a-f) for hash-based issue IDs. Key benefits:
- Shorter IDs: Can now use 3-char IDs (was 4-char minimum)
- Better scaling: 3 chars good for ~160 issues, 4 chars for ~980 issues
- Case-insensitive: Maintains excellent CLI usability
- Backward compatible: Old hex IDs continue to work
Changes:
- Implemented Base36 encoding with proper truncation (keep LSB)
- Updated adaptive length thresholds (3-8 chars instead of 4-8)
- Fixed collision probability math to match encoding (was calculating
for base36 but encoding in hex - now both use base36)
- Fixed ID parser bug (use prefixWithHyphen for substring matching)
- Updated all tests and test data patterns

Extracts duplicated path canonicalization logic (filepath.Abs + EvalSymlinks)
into a reusable helper function utils.CanonicalizePath() in internal/utils/path.go.
Changes:
- Add internal/utils/path.go with CanonicalizePath() function
- Add comprehensive tests in internal/utils/path_test.go
- Replace inline canonicalization in beads.go:131-140
- Replace inline canonicalization in cmd/bd/main.go:446-454
- Replace inline canonicalization in cmd/bd/nodb.go:25-33
The new helper maintains identical behavior:
1. Converts path to absolute form via filepath.Abs
2. Resolves symlinks via filepath.EvalSymlinks
3. Falls back gracefully on errors (returns absPath if EvalSymlinks fails,
returns original path if Abs fails)
Fixes bd-efe8

Enhances rename-prefix command with --repair flag to consolidate databases
with multiple prefixes. Creates shared issue ID utilities to eliminate code
duplication across import and rename operations.
Key changes:
- Add --repair flag to detect and consolidate multiple issue prefixes
- Create internal/utils/issue_id.go with ExtractIssuePrefix() and ExtractIssueNumber()
- Update all duplicate prefix extraction code to use shared utilities
- Add comprehensive tests for repair functionality
