feat(doctor): add count-based database size check
Adds CheckDatabaseSize (Check 29) that warns when closed issues exceed a configurable threshold (default: 5000). The check is informational only - no auto-fix since pruning is destructive.
Also improves fix guidance for sync-branch hook compatibility and legacy JSONL filename checks.
PR #724 by @rsnodgrass
Add new Maintenance category to bd doctor with checks for:
- Stale closed issues (older than 30 days)
- Expired tombstones (older than TTL)
- Compaction candidates (info only)
Add fix handlers for cleanup and tombstone pruning via bd doctor --fix.
Add deprecation hints to cleanup, compact, and detect-pollution commands
suggesting users try bd doctor instead.
This consolidation reduces cognitive load - users just need to remember
'bd doctor' for health checks and 'bd doctor --fix' for maintenance.

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.

* refactor(doctor): split doctor.go into modular package files
Split the 3,171-line doctor.go into logical sub-files within the
cmd/bd/doctor/ package, reducing the main file to 834 lines (74% reduction).
New package structure:
- types.go: DoctorCheck struct and status constants
- installation.go: CheckInstallation, CheckMultipleDatabases, CheckPermissions
- git.go: CheckGitHooks, CheckMergeDriver, CheckSyncBranch* checks
- database.go: CheckDatabaseVersion, CheckSchemaCompatibility, CheckDatabaseJSONLSync
- version.go: CheckCLIVersion, CheckMetadataVersionTracking, CompareVersions
- integrity.go: CheckIDFormat, CheckDependencyCycles, CheckTombstones
- daemon.go: CheckDaemonStatus, CheckVersionMismatch
- quick.go: Quick checks for sync-branch and hooks
Updated tests to use exported doctor.CheckXxx() functions and
doctor.StatusXxx constants.
* fix(doctor): suppress gosec G204 false positives
Add #nosec G204 comments to exec.Command calls in CheckSyncBranchHealth
where variables come from trusted sources (config files or hardcoded
values like "main"/"master"/"origin"), not untrusted user input.
When sync.branch is set to the current branch (e.g., main), bd sync
now commits directly instead of failing with a worktree error.
Changes:
- sync.go: Detect when current branch == sync branch and skip worktree
- sync.go: Show appropriate messages for direct-mode commits/pulls
- doctor.go: Change from Error to OK status when on sync branch
The fix allows users to work directly on the sync branch without
having to switch to a different branch for bd sync to work.

When bd doctor detects legacy deletions.jsonl, --fix now runs the
tombstone migration automatically instead of requiring users to
manually run bd migrate-tombstones.
This makes the migration smoother for multi-clone scenarios where
only one clone needs to do the actual migration, but other clones
may still have local deletions.jsonl files that need cleanup.

Extract two helper functions from checkSyncBranchHookQuick and
checkSyncBranchHookCompatibility to reduce code duplication:
1. getPrePushHookPath(path) - resolves pre-push hook path handling
both standard .git/hooks and shared hooks via core.hooksPath
2. extractBdHookVersion(content) - parses version from hook content

- Quick check: returns OK for custom hooks (silent)
- Full check: returns Warning for custom hooks (user awareness)

Add new bd doctor check that detects when sync-branch is configured
but the pre-push hook is too old (< 0.29.0) to support it. This causes
circular "bd sync" failures where the hook recommends running bd sync
but the user is already running bd sync.
The check:
- Returns error when hook version < 0.29.0 with sync-branch configured
- Returns warning for custom (non-bd) hooks that can't be verified
- Returns OK when hook is compatible or sync-branch not configured
Also adds checkSyncBranchHookQuick() for --check-health mode.

2. Sync branch significantly behind main on source files (20+ commits, 50+ files)

- Handles worktree case (resets within worktree)
- Handles regular branch case (deletes and recreates from main)
- Pushes the reset branch to remote

Add detection for when the current branch is the configured sync branch.
This is a misconfiguration that causes bd sync to fail with:
fatal: 'beads-sync' is already used by worktree
The doctor now reports this as an error with a clear fix:
Switch to your main working branch: git checkout main
Also shows current branch info in the OK case for better visibility.
Previously sync.branch was stored in the database via bd config set.
Now it is in config.yaml (version controlled, shared across clones):
sync-branch: "beads-sync"
Changes:
- Add sync-branch to .beads/config.yaml
- Update syncbranch.Get() to check config.yaml before database
- Add syncbranch.GetFromYAML() and IsConfigured() for fast checks
- Update hooks to read sync-branch from config.yaml directly
- Update bd doctor to check config.yaml instead of database
- Remove auto-fix (config.yaml changes should be committed)
