- AGENTS.md: Updated 'landing the plane' section to encourage creative,
methodical conflict resolution instead of rigid step-by-step commands
- README.md: Added 'Configuring Your Own AGENTS.md' section recommending
that project maintainers add session-ending protocols to their own
AGENTS.md files to ensure proper database hygiene
- Create .devcontainer/devcontainer.json with Go 1.23 environment
- Add setup.sh to build bd from source and install git hooks
- Add devcontainer README with documentation
- Update main README to mention devcontainer support
- Resolves bd-ry1u and GitHub issue #229
- bd edit now bypasses daemon to prevent broken pipe errors
- Editing in /usr/local/bin/emacsclient can take minutes, causing daemon timeout
- Added check in PersistentPreRun to set noDaemon=true for edit command
- Human-only interactive command doesn't benefit from daemon anyway
Fixes#227
After atomic rename during export, verify that the JSONL file contains
exactly the same number of lines as issues exported. This catches silent
export failures where the operation appears to succeed but doesn't
actually write all issues.
Real-world scenario that motivated this:
- SQL DELETE removed 240 issues
- 'bd export' appeared to succeed
- But JSONL was never updated
- Later session found all 240 deleted issues 'came back'
Changes:
- Add verification after os.Rename in exportCmd
- Reuse existing countIssuesInJSONL() helper
- Exit with clear error if mismatch detected
- Add test case that verifies detection works
Error message shown on mismatch:
Error: Export verification failed
Expected: 276 issues
JSONL file: 516 lines
Mismatch indicates export failed to write all issues
Tests:
✓ All existing export tests pass
✓ New test verifies line counting works correctly
✓ Test simulates corruption by truncating file
Performance: Verification is fast (just counts lines), minimal overhead
* feat: enhance bd doctor sync detection with count and prefix mismatch checks
Improves bd doctor to detect actual database-JSONL sync issues instead of relying only on file modification times:
Key improvements:
1. Count detection: Reports when database issue count differs from JSONL (e.g., "Count mismatch: database has 0 issues, JSONL has 61")
2. Prefix detection: Identifies prefix mismatches when majority of JSONL issues use different prefix than database config
3. Error handling: Returns errors from helper functions instead of silent failures, distinguishing "can't open DB" from "counts differ"
4. Query optimization: Single database connection for all checks (reduced from 3 opens to 1)
5. Better error reporting: Shows actual error details when database or JSONL can't be read
This addresses the core issue where bd doctor would incorrectly report "Database and JSONL are in sync" when the database was empty but JSONL contained issues (as happened in privacy2 project).
Tests:
- Added TestCountJSONLIssuesWithMalformedLines to verify malformed JSON handling
- Existing doctor tests still pass
- countJSONLIssues now returns error to indicate parsing issues

* fix: correct git hooks installation instructions in bd doctor
The original message referenced './examples/git-hooks/install.sh' which doesn't exist in user projects. This fix changes the message to point to the actual location in the beads GitHub repository:
Before: "Run './examples/git-hooks/install.sh' to install recommended git hooks"
After: "See https://github.com/steveyegge/beads/tree/main/examples/git-hooks for installation instructions"
This works for any project using bd, not just the beads repository itself.

* feat: add recovery suggestions when database fails but JSONL has issues
When bd doctor detects that the database cannot be opened/queried but the JSONL file contains issues, it now suggests the recovery command:
Fix: Run 'bd import -i issues.jsonl --rename-on-import' to recover issues from JSONL
This addresses the case where:
- Database is corrupted or inaccessible
- JSONL has all the issues backed up
- User needs a clear path to recover
The check now:
1. Reads JSONL first (doesn't depend on database)
2. If database fails but JSONL has issues, suggests recovery command
3. If database can be queried, continues with sync checks as before
Tested on privacy2 project which has 61 issues in JSONL but inaccessible database.

* fix: support hash-based issue IDs in import rename
The import --rename-on-import flag was rejecting valid issue IDs with
hash-based suffixes (e.g., privacy-09ea) because the validation only
accepted numeric suffixes. Beads now generates and accepts base36-encoded
hash IDs, so update the validation to match.
Changes:
- Update isNumeric() to accept base36 characters (0-9, a-z)
- Update tests to reflect hash-based ID support
- Add gosec nolint comment for safe file path construction
Fixes the error: "cannot rename issue privacy-09ea: non-numeric suffix '09ea'"

Filed feature request based on real-world silent export failure in VC
project where SQL DELETE + export appeared to succeed but JSONL was
never updated, causing 240 deleted issues to 'come back'.
Simple verification after export would catch this immediately:
- Count lines in written JSONL file
- Compare to number of exported issues
- Error if mismatch detected
