Fixes Windows build by adding platform-specific inode handling via build tags. Also fixes gosec lint warnings in migrate_tombstones.go.
Thanks @deblasis!
Refine ExtractIssuePrefix to better distinguish hash IDs from English
words in multi-part issue IDs. Hash suffixes now require digits or be
exactly 3 chars, preventing "test", "gate", "part" from being treated
as hashes. This fixes prefix extraction for IDs like "vc-baseline-test".
Also updates git hooks to use -q flag and adds AGENTS.md documentation.

AFTER the first hyphen. This prevents false positives when the project
directory name contains a dot (e.g., "my.project-abc123" was incorrectly

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)

The orphan detection was incorrectly flagging issues with dots in their
prefix (e.g., "my.project-abc123") as orphans because it was looking for
any dot in the ID, treating everything before the first dot as the
parent ID.
The fix:
- Add IsHierarchicalID() helper that correctly detects hierarchical IDs
by checking if the ID ends with .{digits} (e.g., "bd-abc.1")
- Update SQL query in orphan detection migration to use GLOB patterns
that only match IDs ending with numeric suffixes
- Update all Go code that checks for hierarchical IDs to use the new
helper function
Test cases added:
- Unit tests for IsHierarchicalID covering normal, dotted prefix, and
edge cases
- Integration test verifying dotted prefixes do not trigger false

Fixes GH#523: older versions of bd could close issues without setting
the closed_at timestamp. When importing such issues, validation would
fail with "closed issues must have closed_at timestamp".
This fix adds defensive handling in all issue creation/validation paths:

max(created_at, updated_at) + 1 second
- Similarly for tombstones missing deleted_at
Applied to:
- batch_ops.go: validateBatchIssuesWithCustomStatuses (main import path)
- transaction.go: CreateIssue and CreateIssues
- queries.go: CreateIssue
- multirepo.go: upsertIssueInTx
Also adds comprehensive tests for the defensive fix.

The deleted_at column was defined as TEXT in the schema but code was

* fix(daemon): check for stale startlock before waiting 5 seconds
When a previous daemon startup left behind a bd.sock.startlock file
(e.g., from a crashed process), the code was waiting 5 seconds before
checking if the lock was stale. This caused unnecessary delays on
every bd command when the daemon wasn't running.
Now checks if the PID in the startlock file is alive BEFORE waiting.
If the PID is dead or unreadable, the stale lock is cleaned up
immediately and lock acquisition is retried.
Fixes ~5s delay when startlock file exists from crashed process.
* perf: add benchmarks for large descriptions, bulk operations, and sync merge
Added three new performance benchmarks to identify bottlenecks in common operations:
1. BenchmarkLargeDescription - Tests handling of 100KB+ issue descriptions
- Measures string allocation/parsing overhead
- Result: 3.3ms/op, 874KB/op allocation
2. BenchmarkBulkCloseIssues - Tests closing 100 issues sequentially
- Measures batch write performance
- Result: 1.9s total, shows write amplification
3. BenchmarkSyncMerge - Tests JSONL merge cycle with creates/updates
- Simulates real sync operations (10 creates + 10 updates per iteration)
- Result: 29ms/op, identifies sync bottlenecks
Added BENCHMARKS.md documentation describing:
- How to run benchmarks with various options
- All available benchmark categories
- Performance targets on M2 Pro hardware
- Dataset caching strategy
- CPU profiling integration
- Optimization workflow
This completes performance testing coverage for previously unmeasured scenarios.
* docs: clarify daemon lock acquisition logic in comments
Improve comments to clarify that acquireStartLock does both:
1. Immediately check for stale locks from crashed processes (avoids 5s delay)
2. If PID is alive, properly wait for legitimate daemon startup (5s timeout)
No code changes - only clarified comment documentation for maintainability.

Update import/export to handle tombstones for deletion sync propagation:
Exporter:
- Include tombstones in JSONL output by setting IncludeTombstones: true
- Both single-repo and multi-repo exports now include tombstones
Importer:
- Tombstones from JSONL are imported as-is (they're issues with status=tombstone)
- Legacy deletions.jsonl entries are converted to tombstones via convertDeletionToTombstone()
- Non-tombstone issues in deletions manifest are still skipped (backward compat)
- purgeDeletedIssues() now creates tombstones instead of hard-deleting
This is Phase 2 of the tombstone implementation (bd-dli design), enabling
inline soft-delete tracking for cross-clone deletion synchronization.

* fix: use os.Lstat for symlink-safe mtime and permission checks
On NixOS and other systems using symlinks heavily (e.g., home-manager),
os.Stat follows symlinks and returns the target's metadata. This causes:
1. False staleness detection when JSONL is symlinked - mtime of target
changes unpredictably when symlinks are recreated
2. os.Chmod failing or changing wrong file's permissions when target
is in read-only location (e.g., /nix/store)
3. os.Chtimes modifying target's times instead of the symlink itself
Changes:
- autoimport.go: Use Lstat for JSONL mtime in CheckStaleness()
- import.go: Use Lstat in TouchDatabaseFile() for JSONL mtime
- export.go: Skip chmod for symlinked files
- multirepo.go: Use Lstat for JSONL mtime cache
- multirepo_export.go: Use Lstat for mtime, skip chmod for symlinks
- doctor/fix/permissions.go: Skip permission fixes for symlinked paths
These changes are safe cross-platform:
- On systems without symlinks, Lstat behaves identically to Stat
- Symlink permission bits are ignored on Unix anyway
- The extra Lstat syscall overhead is negligible
Fixes symlink-related data loss on NixOS. See GitHub issue #379.

Fixes#413. When importing issues from multi-repo JSONL files, if issue A
