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
Closes bd-hdt

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

This repo explicitly configures beads.jsonl in metadata.json due to git
history reasons. The issues.jsonl file was stale (102 issues vs 622 in
beads.jsonl) and not being used.
bd doctor correctly detected this as a problem - having multiple JSONL
files can cause sync and merge conflicts.

- Revert migration to issues.jsonl (was causing data corruption)
- Backup issues.jsonl for reference
- Database and beads.jsonl now in sync (538 issues)
- Clean slate for stable operations
Add comprehensive detection and migration guidance for old beads integration
patterns. This helps users adopt the more efficient bd prime approach.
Changes:
- Enhanced CheckLegacyBeadsSlashCommands with detailed migration steps
and token efficiency benefits (99% reduction: ~10.5k → ~50 tokens)
- Added CheckAgentDocumentation to detect missing AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md
and suggest bd onboard or bd setup claude
- Enhanced CheckClaude to recommend bd prime hooks for MCP-only setups
with clear token efficiency messaging
- Added comprehensive tests for all new checks
bd doctor now detects:
1. Old slash command patterns (/beads:*) and recommends bd prime hooks
2. Missing agent documentation and suggests creating it
3. MCP-only setups without hooks and shows token savings potential
4. Provides clear migration paths and benefits for all scenarios
Token efficiency messaging:
- MCP mode: ~50 tokens vs ~10.5k for full scan (99% reduction)
- CLI mode: ~1-2k tokens with automatic context recovery
- Hooks auto-refresh context on SessionStart and PreCompact
