Currently 'bd daemon' with no args immediately starts the daemon. This is
inconsistent with other daemon management commands like --stop, --status,
etc. and makes the command less discoverable for new users.
Changes:
- Add --start flag to explicitly start daemon
- Show help text when no operation flags provided
- Update auto-start logic to use --start flag
- Update startDaemon() to pass --start when forking
- Update all documentation to use 'bd daemon --start'
- Update MCP Python client error messages
The MCP docs already incorrectly showed 'bd daemon start' which doesn't
work, so this change fixes that documentation bug while improving UX.
Auto-start still works correctly - it now passes --start internally.

Implements flexible error handling for export operations with four policies:
- strict: Fail-fast on any error (default for user exports)
- best-effort: Skip errors with warnings (default for auto-exports)
- partial: Retry then skip with manifest tracking
- required-core: Fail on core data, skip enrichments
Key features:
- Per-project configuration via `bd config set export.error_policy`
- Separate policy for auto-exports: `auto_export.error_policy`
- Retry with exponential backoff (configurable attempts/delay)
- Optional export manifests documenting completeness
- Per-issue encoding error handling
This allows users to choose the right trade-off between data integrity
and system availability for their specific project needs.

tool with beads issue tracking.
Changes:
- Added cmd/bd/setup/aider.go with InstallAider, CheckAider, RemoveAider
- Created .aider.conf.yml template with bd workflow instructions
- Added .aider/README.md template with quick reference
- Updated cmd/bd/setup.go to include aider subcommand
- Fixed cmd/bd/main.go to allow setup subcommands without database by

- Added comprehensive docs/AIDER_INTEGRATION.md documentation
Key differences from Claude/Cursor integration:
- Aider requires explicit command execution via /run
- AI suggests bd commands rather than running autonomously
- Documentation emphasizes human-in-the-loop workflow
- Config instructs AI to always suggest, never execute

Git merge drivers only support three placeholders:
- %O (ancestor/base)
- %A (current version)
- %B (other branch's version)
The code was incorrectly using %L and %R, which don't exist in git,
causing them to be passed through literally and breaking JSONL merges.
Changes:
- Fixed merge driver config in init.go, merge.go, README.md, docs
- Added detection in bd doctor with clear error messages
- Added auto-fix in bd doctor --fix
- Added proactive warning in bd sync before git pull
- Added reactive error detection after merge failures
- Updated all tests to use correct placeholders
Now users get helpful guidance at every step:
1. bd doctor detects the issue
2. bd doctor --fix auto-corrects it
3. bd sync warns before pulling if misconfigured
4. Error messages suggest bd doctor --fix when merge fails

- Shows warning: "⚠️ Staleness check skipped (--allow-stale)"
- Allows operations on potentially stale data

Users were confused about which files should be committed after running
'bd init --branch beads-metadata'. The PROTECTED_BRANCHES.md doc now
clearly explains:

- .gitattributes - Merge driver configuration
2. Files automatically gitignored (do NOT commit):
- .beads/beads.db - SQLite database (local only)
- .beads/daemon.* - Runtime files
- .beads/*.left/right.jsonl - Temporary merge artifacts
3. Files in sync branch (beads-metadata):
- .beads/beads.jsonl - Issue data (committed by daemon)
- .beads/metadata.json - Repository metadata
- .beads/config.yaml - Configuration template

should be committed vs ignored after running bd init:

2. docs/GIT_INTEGRATION.md:

- Lists benefits of intelligent JSONL merging
Key clarification: .gitattributes should be COMMITTED (not ignored) as it

Critical fixes to code review findings:
1. Remove global state access from flushToJSONLWithState
- FlushManager now has true single ownership of flush state
- No more race conditions from concurrent global state access
- flushToJSONLWithState trusts only the flushState parameter
- Legacy wrapper handles success detection via failure count
2. Fix shutdown timeout data loss risk
- Increased timeout from 5s → 30s to prevent data loss
- Added detailed comments explaining the timeout rationale
- Better error message indicates potential data loss scenario
Implementation details:
- New FlushManager uses event-driven single-owner pattern
- Channels eliminate shared mutable state (markDirtyCh, flushNowCh, etc.)
- Comprehensive race detector tests verify concurrency safety
- Backward compatible with existing tests via legacy code path
- ARCHITECTURE.md documents design principles and guarantees
Test results:
- All race detector tests pass (TestFlushManager*)
- Legacy API compatibility verified (TestMarkDirtyAndScheduleFlush*)
- No race conditions detected under concurrent load
Future improvements tracked as beads:
- bd-gdn: Add functional tests for flush correctness verification
- bd-5xt: Log errors from timer-triggered flushes
- bd-i00: Convert magic numbers to named constants

* fix: Use correct SQLite driver name 'sqlite3' instead of 'sqlite'
The ncruces/go-sqlite3 driver registers as 'sqlite3', but doctor.go

- cmd/bd/doctor.go: 6 instances fixed
- docs/EXTENDING.md: 2 documentation examples updated
- examples/bd-example-extension-go/: Fixed example code and README

* Revert CGO_ENABLED back to 0 for pure-Go SQLite driver
The ncruces/go-sqlite3 driver is pure-Go and doesn't require CGO.
The previous change to CGO_ENABLED=1 in commit f9771cd was an
attempted fix for #230, but the real issue was the driver name
mismatch ('sqlite' vs 'sqlite3'), which is now fixed.
Benefits of CGO_ENABLED=0:
- Simpler cross-compilation (no C toolchain required)
- Smaller binaries
- Faster builds
- Matches the intended design of the pure-Go driver

The JavaScript was using incorrect field names (stats.total, stats.by_status)
that don't match the actual types.Statistics struct which uses flat fields
with underscores (total_issues, in_progress_issues, etc).
Fixed by updating loadStats() to use correct field names:
- stats.total -> stats.total_issues
- stats.by_status?.['in-progress'] -> stats.in_progress_issues
- stats.by_status?.open -> stats.open_issues
- stats.by_status?.closed -> stats.closed_issues

* fix: Make monitor require daemon to prevent SQLite locking
Implemented Option 1 from beads-eel: monitor now requires daemon and never
opens direct SQLite connection.
Changes:
- Added 'monitor' to noDbCommands list in main.go to skip normal DB initialization
- Added validateDaemonForMonitor() PreRun function that:
- Finds database path using beads.FindDatabasePath()
- Validates daemon is running and healthy
- Fails gracefully with clear error message if no daemon
- Only uses RPC connection, never opens SQLite directly
Benefits:
- Eliminates SQLite locking conflicts between monitor and daemon
- Users can now close/update issues via CLI while monitor runs
- Clear error messages guide users to start daemon first
