- Changed backup file filtering from checking file extension (.backup) to checking if filename contains '.backup'
- This now properly filters files like 'beads.backup-pre-hash-20251030-171258.db'
- Also exclude vc.db from database detection
- Add strings import to beads.go
- Improve error message to suggest manual removal
Fixes bd-373c
- Added CanonicalDatabaseName constant (beads.db) and LegacyDatabaseNames list
- Updated bd init to use canonical name via constant
- Added daemon validation to reject non-canonical database names
- Updated bd migrate to use canonical name constant
- Enhanced FindDatabasePath to warn when using legacy database names
- All database discovery now prefers beads.db with backward compatibility
Closes bd-165
- 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 .gitignore to not ignore config.json (part of repo state)
- 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
Export SortPolicy from beads package so external tools (like VC)
can use the sort policy constants without importing internal packages.
Added:
- SortPolicy type alias
- SortPolicyHybrid, SortPolicyPriority, SortPolicyOldest constants
This completes the sort policy feature for external consumers.
- Implement FindAllDatabases() to scan hierarchy for all .beads directories
- Add DatabaseInfo struct with path, beads dir, and issue count
- Add warnMultipleDatabases() with formatted warning display
- Show active database with ▶ marker and issue counts
- Add comprehensive tests for multi-database detection
- Document warning and solutions in TROUBLESHOOTING.md
- Prevent confusion and database pollution from accidental duplicates

Expose full Storage interface and all types through public beads.go API,
enabling external Go projects (like VC) to import Beads directly instead
of spawning CLI processes.
Changes:
- Expanded beads.go with all public types (Issue, Dependency, Comment, etc.)
- Added all constants (Status, IssueType, DependencyType, EventType)
- Created comprehensive integration tests (beads_integration_test.go)
- Added library usage example at examples/library-usage/
- Documented library integration in README.md
Test coverage: 96.4% on public API, 14 integration tests, all passing.
Closes bd-58, bd-59

- Remove ~/.beads/default.db fallback from FindDatabasePath()
- Update daemon to error if no database found instead of falling back
- Update main.go to require explicit database initialization
- Add help/version/quickstart to commands that don't need database
- Add MCP client debug logging for database routing

* deps: run go mod tidy
* beads: Add public Go API for bd extensions
Implements a minimal public API to enable Go-based extensions without
exposing internal packages:
**New beads.go package:**
- Exports essential types: Issue, Status, IssueType, WorkFilter
- Provides status and issue type constants
- Exposes NewSQLiteStorage() as main entry point for extensions
- Includes comprehensive package documentation
**Updated EXTENDING.md:**
- Replaced internal package imports with public beads package
- Updated function calls to use new public API
- Changed sqlite.New() to beads.NewSQLiteStorage()
- Updated GetReady() to GetReadyWork() with WorkFilter
This enables clean Go-based orchestration extensions while maintaining
API stability and hiding internal implementation details.
* beads: Refine Go extensions API and documentation
Updates to the public Go API implementation following initial commit:
- Enhanced beads.go with refined extension interface
- Updated EXTENDING.md with clearer documentation
- Modified cmd/bd/main.go to support extension loading
Continues work on enabling Go-based bd extensions.
* Fix EXTENDING.md to use beads.WorkFilter instead of types.WorkFilter
The public API exports WorkFilter as beads.WorkFilter, not types.WorkFilter.
This fixes the code example to match the imports shown.
