When `bd doctor --fix` fails to apply a fix, it was showing
"Manual fix: Run 'bd doctor --fix' ..." which is circular and unhelpful.
Now extracts just the manual command from the fix message:

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

Document the intent and nuances of recent fixes:
internal/importer/utils.go:
- RenameImportedIssuePrefixes: explain the three ID formats (sequential,
hash-based, hierarchical) and how prefix renaming preserves identity
- isValidIDSuffix: document why dots are allowed (hierarchical parent-child
relationships) and what characters are rejected
cmd/bd/deletion_tracking.go:
- isIssueNotFoundError: explain why "not found" is success during merge
(issue may be tombstoned, never existed locally, or manually deleted)
- Deletion loop: document what "accepted deletions" means and why we
tolerate missing issues during the pruning phase
During sync, the 3-way merge logic tries to delete issues that were
removed remotely. If an issue is already gone (tombstoned or never
existed locally), that shouldn't be an error - the goal is just to
ensure the issue is deleted.
Changes:
- Add isIssueNotFoundError helper to detect missing issue errors
- Skip "issue not found" errors during merge deletion (count as success)
- Update stats output to show already-gone count when relevant
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].

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)

* feat: auto-disable daemon in git worktrees for safety
Implement worktree daemon compatibility as proposed in the analysis.
The daemon is now automatically disabled when running in a git worktree
unless sync-branch is configured.
Git worktrees share the same .beads directory, and the daemon commits
to whatever branch its working directory has checked out. This causes
commits to go to the wrong branch when using daemon in worktrees.
- Add shouldDisableDaemonForWorktree() helper that checks:
1. If current directory is a git worktree (via git rev-parse)
2. If sync-branch is configured (env var or config.yaml)
- Modify shouldAutoStartDaemon() to call the helper
- Modify daemon connection logic in main.go to skip connection
- Add FallbackWorktreeSafety constant for daemon status reporting
- Update warnWorktreeDaemon() to skip warning when sync-branch configured
- In worktree WITHOUT sync-branch: daemon auto-disabled, direct mode used
- In worktree WITH sync-branch: daemon enabled (commits go to dedicated branch)
- In regular repo: no change (daemon works as before)
- Added comprehensive unit tests for shouldDisableDaemonForWorktree()
- Added integration tests for shouldAutoStartDaemon() in worktree contexts
- Manual E2E testing verified correct behavior
- Updated WORKTREES.md with new automatic safety behavior
- Updated DAEMON.md with Git Worktrees section
* feat: check database config for sync-branch in worktree safety logic
Previously, the worktree daemon safety check only looked at:
- BEADS_SYNC_BRANCH environment variable
- sync-branch in config.yaml
This meant users who configured sync-branch via `bd config set sync-branch`
(which stores in the database) would still have daemon disabled in worktrees.
Now the check also reads sync.branch from the database config table,
making daemon work in worktrees when sync-branch is configured via any method.
Changes:
- Add IsConfiguredWithDB() function that checks env, config.yaml, AND database
- Add findBeadsDB() to locate database (worktree-aware via git-common-dir)
- Add getMainRepoRoot() helper using git rev-parse
- Add getConfigFromDB() for lightweight database reads
- Update shouldDisableDaemonForWorktree() to use IsConfiguredWithDB()
- Update warnWorktreeDaemon() to use IsConfiguredWithDB()
- Add test case for database config path
* refactor: use existing beads.FindDatabasePath() instead of duplicating code
Remove duplicate getMainRepoRoot() and findBeadsDB() functions from
syncbranch.go and use the existing beads.FindDatabasePath() which is
already worktree-aware.
Changes:
- Replace custom findBeadsDB() with beads.FindDatabasePath()
- Remove duplicate getMainRepoRoot() (git.GetMainRepoRoot() exists)
- Remove unused imports (exec, strings, filepath)
- Clean up debug logging in tests

The --repair flag was generating sequential IDs (sageox-9895, sageox-9896)
instead of hash-based IDs (sageox-jwnv, sageox-urtm). This fix uses the
proper GenerateIssueID function from sqlite package to generate consistent
hash-based IDs during prefix repair operations.
Changes:
- Import sqlite package for hash ID generation
- Add generateRepairHashID helper that uses sqlite.GenerateIssueID
- Track used IDs within batch to avoid collisions
- Update test to verify hash IDs instead of sequential
When git merge replaces the .beads/beads.db file, the daemon's
SQLite connection becomes stale (still reading deleted inode).
This adds FreshnessChecker that detects file replacement via
inode/mtime comparison and triggers automatic reconnection.
Implementation:
- freshness.go: monitors db file for replacement
- store.go: adds EnableFreshnessChecking() and reconnect()
- queries.go: calls checkFreshness() on GetIssue/SearchIssues
- daemon.go: enables freshness checking at startup
- freshness_test.go: comprehensive tests including merge scenario
Code quality (per review):
- Extract configureConnectionPool() helper to reduce duplication
- Handle Close() error in reconnect() (log but continue)
- Use t.Cleanup() pattern in tests per project conventions
- Rename setupFreshnessTest() per naming conventions
Overhead: ~2.6μs per read op (~0.8% of total query time)

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.

The previous bd-in7q fix had backwards logic - by EXCLUDING tombstones
from currentIDs, they appeared missing when compared to historicalIDs,
causing HydrateDeletionsManifest to erroneously add them to deletions.jsonl.
This corruption manifested when:
1. Issues were migrated to tombstones via migrate-tombstones
2. Doctor hydration ran (directly or via sync)
3. Tombstones were seen as deleted and re-added to deletions.jsonl
4. Next import skipped thousands of issues with in deletions manifest
Fix: Include ALL issues (including tombstones) in currentIDs. Tombstones
represent migrated deletions that ARE accounted for - they should not
trigger new deletion records.

Root cause: bd doctor hydrate was re-adding migrated tombstones to the
deletions manifest because getCurrentJSONLIDs() included all issues,
including tombstones. When compared against git history, tombstones
appeared as 'deleted' and were incorrectly added to the manifest as new
deletions, corrupting the database on next sync.
Fix: Skip tombstone-status issues in getCurrentJSONLIDs() so they don't
participate in deletion detection. Tombstones represent already-recorded
deletions/migrations and shouldn't be treated as active issues.
Changes:
- cmd/bd/doctor/fix/deletions.go: Skip tombstones in getCurrentJSONLIDs()
- cmd/bd/doctor/fix/deletions_test.go: New tests for tombstone skipping
- cmd/bd/migrate_tombstones_test.go: Test that tombstones are valid
This fixes the bug where 'bd migrate-tombstones' followed by 'bd sync'
would add thousands of deletion records with author 'bd-doctor-hydrate'

The sync sanitize process was incorrectly removing newly created issues
when they happened to have IDs matching entries in the deletions manifest.
This could occur with hash-based IDs when content is similar to previously
deleted issues.
The fix adds protection for issues that were in the left snapshot (local
export before pull). These represent local work and should not be removed
by sanitize, even if they match entries in the deletions manifest.
Changes:
- Load left snapshot in sanitizeJSONLWithDeletions() to build protection set
- Add protection check before removing issues from JSONL
- Add ProtectedCount/ProtectedIDs to SanitizeResult for tracking
- Log protected issues during sync for visibility
- Add comprehensive test coverage for the fix

Fix daemon auto-sync delete mutation not reflected in sync branch
When deleting an issue with `bd delete <id> --force`, the daemon auto-sync now properly removes the deleted issue from the sync branch.
**Problem:** The merge logic saw fewer local issues (due to deletion) and would re-add the deleted issue.
**Solution:** Add `ForceOverwrite` option to bypass merge logic when mutations occur. Mutation-triggered exports are authoritative and should overwrite, not merge.
