Auto-import was allowing git history backfill to run, which could
incorrectly purge issues. The fix adds NoGitHistory=true to all
auto-import code paths:
- autoimport.go (importFromGit)
- autoflush.go (autoImportIfNewer)
- daemon_sync.go (importToJSONLWithStore)
Git history backfill is designed to detect deletions that happened
after a local DB was created. During auto-import, there is no local
work to protect - we are importing from the authoritative JSONL source.
Also adds comprehensive tests for NoGitHistory behavior.

When opening a database that exists but is missing issue_prefix config
(typical in fresh clone scenarios), show a helpful error message instead
of cryptic migration invariant errors.
The new message:
- Explains the database needs initialization
- Detects if a JSONL file exists and shows the issue count
- Suggests the exact command to run: bd import -i <path>
- Falls back to suggesting bd init --prefix if no JSONL exists

When --auto-merge is used, performMerge now automatically:
1. Closes source issues with "Duplicate of <target>" reason
2. Links each source to target with a "related" dependency

Update examples/claude-code-skill/references/CLI_REFERENCE.md to match
docs/CLI_REFERENCE.md. The skill version was ~17% smaller and missing
newer sections like Global Flags, Sandbox Mode, Orphan Handling, etc.

Fixes bd-0b2: The git history backfill mechanism was causing data loss
during JSONL filename migrations (beads.jsonl → issues.jsonl). When issues
existed in the old filename's git history, the backfill incorrectly treated
them as "deleted" and purged them from the database.
Changes:
- Add NoGitHistory field to importer.Options and ImportOptions structs
- Modify purgeDeletedIssues() to skip git history check when flag is set
- Add --no-git-history flag to bd import command
- Add --no-git-history flag to bd sync command
- Update purge_test.go to pass Options argument
Usage:
bd import -i .beads/issues.jsonl --no-git-history
bd sync --no-git-history
