- Create internal/configfile package for config.json handling
- bd init now creates .beads/config.json with database, version, and jsonl_export fields
- Database discovery checks config.json first, falls back to beads.db

- Update test to expect beads.db and config.json
- Backward compatible with existing beads.db-only setups
- Changed bd init to always create beads.db instead of {prefix}.db
- Added migration logic to detect and rename old databases
- Updated findDatabaseInTree to prefer beads.db and warn on multiple .db files
- Daemon now refuses to start if multiple .db files exist (ambiguity error)
- Updated tests to expect beads.db instead of prefix-based naming
- Tested migration, ambiguity detection, and warning messages
- Changed file permissions from 0644 → 0600 for JSONL exports and config files
- Changed directory permissions from 0755 → 0750 in all test code
- Updated .golangci.yml with proper exclusions for false positives
- Reduced gosec warnings from 102 to 22 (all remaining are acceptable)

- Prompts user to install hooks on first init if in git repo
- Auto-installs with Y/n prompt (defaults to yes)
- Skips prompt if hooks already installed
- Detects bd hooks by signature comment in files
Fixes silent data loss when .beads/ directory removed and daemon auto-starts.
Root cause: checkGitForIssues() hardcoded 'issues.jsonl' but git tracks 'beads.jsonl'
Changes:
- Fix A (bd-131): checkGitForIssues() tries beads.jsonl first, then issues.jsonl
- Fix B (bd-132): Immediate export after import in bd init to prevent daemon race
- Fix C (bd-133): Safety check that fails loudly if import fails
- Fix D (bd-134): Daemon startup auto-import when DB empty but git has issues
- Tests (bd-135): Comprehensive integration test suite
Oracle-recommended improvements:
- Export to exact git-relative path (prevents path drift)
- filepath.ToSlash for Windows git compatibility
- 64MB scanner buffer for large JSONL lines
- Improved safety check messages (only suggest local file if exists)
All tests passing. No regressions.

Fixes#118 - Users can now initialize databases outside project directory
Changes:
- Check BEADS_DB env var in init command (PersistentPreRun skipped for init)
- Use global dbPath from --db flag or BEADS_DB, else default to .beads/{prefix}.db
- Use canonical path comparison (filepath.Abs + Clean) instead of strings.Contains
- Only create .beads/ directory when database is actually local
- Ensure parent directory exists for custom database paths
- Add comprehensive tests for --db flag, BEADS_DB env var, and edge cases
- Fix test isolation by resetting global dbPath in test setup
Tests:
- Custom path with --db flag
- Custom path with BEADS_DB env var
- Custom path containing ".beads" substring (prevents false positive)
- Flag precedence over env var
- All existing tests still pass

Prevents agents from creating duplicate low-numbered issues when starting
with a fresh git clone that already has issues.jsonl in git history.
Changes:
- bd init now checks for existing issues in git after DB creation
- Auto-imports with collision resolution if found
- Updates AGENTS.md to simplify onboarding (just 'bd init')
Fixes the scenario where:
1. Fresh clone has .beads/issues.jsonl in git (212 issues)
2. Agent runs bd init (creates empty DB)
3. Agent starts creating bd-1, bd-2, etc (collisions with git)
Now bd init automatically imports all issues from git on first run.

- bd-169: Add -q/--quiet flag to bd init command
- bd-28: Improve error handling in RemoveDependency
- Now checks RowsAffected and returns error if dependency doesn't exist
- New removeDependencyIfExists() helper for collision remapping
- bd-393: CRITICAL - Fix auto-import skipping collisions
- Auto-import was LOSING work from other workers
- Now automatically remaps collisions to new IDs
- Calls RemapCollisions() instead of skipping
All tests pass.

Prevent user confusion when running outdated bd binaries by detecting
version mismatches between the binary and database.
Features:
- Store bd version in metadata table on init
- Check version on every command (PersistentPreRun)
- Warn if binary is outdated with rebuild instructions
- Auto-upgrade database if binary is newer
- Silent operation when versions match
Fixes confusion from bd-182 (auto-export not working with old binary)
Implements bd-197
Files changed:
- cmd/bd/init.go: Store version on init
- cmd/bd/main.go: checkVersionMismatch() + integration

Ensures exactly one hyphen between prefix and issue number regardless of
whether user provides trailing hyphen.
Before:
bd init --prefix wy- → Issues: wy--1, wy--2 (double hyphen)
bd init --prefix wy → Issues: wy-1, wy-2 (single hyphen)
After:
bd init --prefix wy- → Issues: wy-1, wy-2 (single hyphen)
bd init --prefix wy → Issues: wy-1, wy-2 (single hyphen)
The hyphen is added automatically during ID generation in CreateIssue(),
so the stored prefix should never include trailing hyphens.

- Add package comment to cmd/bd/dep.go
- Change directory permissions from 0755 to 0750 in init.go
- Simplify getNextID signature (remove unused error return)
- Configure golangci-lint exclusions for false positives
- Document linting policy in LINTING.md
The remaining ~100 lint warnings are documented false positives:
- 73 errcheck: deferred cleanup (idiomatic Go)
- 17 revive: Cobra interface requirements and naming choices
- 7 gosec: false positives on validated SQL and user file paths
- 2 dupl: acceptable test code duplication
- 1 goconst: test constant repetition
See LINTING.md for full rationale. Contributors should focus on
avoiding NEW issues rather than the documented baseline.

- Fix unchecked error returns in export/import/init
- Refactor duplicate scanIssues code
- Add package comments for all packages
- Add const block comments for exported constants
- Configure errcheck to allow idiomatic defer patterns
Documentation:

- Correct default database path documentation
CI/CD:
- Add GitHub Actions workflow for tests and linting
- Enable race detection and coverage reporting

This is a fundamental architectural shift from binary SQLite to JSONL as
the source of truth for git workflows.
## New Features
- `bd export --format=jsonl` - Export issues to JSON Lines format
- `bd import` - Import issues from JSONL (create new, update existing)
- `--skip-existing` flag for import to only create new issues
## Architecture Change
**Before:** Binary SQLite database committed to git
**After:** JSONL text files as source of truth, SQLite as ephemeral cache
Benefits:
- Git-friendly text format with clean diffs
- AI-resolvable merge conflicts (append-only is 95% conflict-free)
- Human-readable issue tracking in git
- No binary merge conflicts
## Documentation
- Updated README with JSONL-first workflow and git hooks
- Added TEXT_FORMATS.md analyzing JSONL vs CSV vs binary
- Updated GIT_WORKFLOW.md with historical context
- .gitignore now excludes *.db, includes .beads/*.jsonl
## Implementation Details
- Export sorts issues by ID for consistent diffs
- Import handles both creates and updates atomically
- Proper handling of pointer fields (EstimatedMinutes)
- All tests passing
## Breaking Changes
- Database files (*.db) should now be gitignored
- Use export/import workflow for git collaboration
- Git hooks recommended for automation
