Replaces expensive recursive CTE query with simple cache lookup,
achieving 96% performance improvement on 10K databases (bd-5qim).
Performance results:
- Before: ~752ms (recursive CTE on every call)
- After: ~29ms (cache lookup + filters)
- Target: <50ms ✓
The query now uses a simple NOT EXISTS check against the
blocked_issues_cache table instead of computing the full
blocked issue tree on every call.
Cache is maintained by invalidateBlockedCache() called on
dependency and status changes (added in next commit).

- Updated label CLI commands to support both daemon and direct modes
- Added label fetching to GetIssue() and scanIssues() methods
- All label operations (add, remove, list, list-all) work with daemon

- Add bd restore command to view full history of compacted issues from git
- Command temporarily checks out historical commit, reads JSONL, displays original content
- Read-only operation, no database or git state modification
- Flip ready work sort to created_at ASC (older issues first within priority tier)
- Prevents issue treadmill effect, surfaces old P1s for triage
- Update README.md and AGENTS.md with restore documentation
Closes bd-407, bd-383
When an epic is blocked, all its children should also be considered
blocked in the ready work calculation. Previously, only direct blocking
dependencies were checked, allowing children of blocked epics to appear
as ready work.
Implementation:
- Use recursive CTE to propagate blocking from parents to descendants
- Only 'parent-child' dependencies propagate blocking (not 'related')
- Changed NOT IN to NOT EXISTS for better NULL safety and performance
- Added depth limit of 50 to prevent pathological cases
Test coverage:
- TestParentBlockerBlocksChildren: Basic parent→child propagation
- TestGrandparentBlockerBlocksGrandchildren: Multi-level depth
- TestMultipleParentsOneBlocked: Child blocked if ANY parent blocked
- TestBlockerClosedUnblocksChildren: Dynamic unblocking works
- TestRelatedDoesNotPropagate: Only parent-child propagates

Add nullable external_ref TEXT field to link bd issues with external
systems like GitHub Issues, Jira, etc. Includes automatic schema
migration for backward compatibility.
Changes:
- Added external_ref column to issues table with feature-based migration
- Updated Issue struct with ExternalRef *string field
- Added --external-ref flag to bd create and bd update commands
- Updated all SQL queries across the codebase to include external_ref:
- GetIssue, CreateIssue, UpdateIssue, SearchIssues
- GetDependencies, GetDependents, GetDependencyTree
- GetReadyWork, GetBlockedIssues, GetIssuesByLabel
- Added external_ref handling in import/export logic
- Follows existing patterns for nullable fields (sql.NullString)
This enables tracking relationships between bd issues and external
systems without requiring changes to existing databases or JSONL files.

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

Core features:
- Dependency-aware issue tracking with SQLite backend
- Ready work detection (issues with no open blockers)
- Dependency tree visualization
- Cycle detection and prevention
- Full audit trail
- CLI with colored output
Security and correctness fixes applied:
- Fixed SQL injection vulnerability in UpdateIssue (whitelisted fields)
- Fixed race condition in ID generation (added mutex)
- Fixed cycle detection to return full paths (not just issue IDs)
- Added cycle prevention in AddDependency (validates before commit)
- Added comprehensive input validation (priority, status, types, etc.)
- Fixed N+1 query in GetBlockedIssues (using GROUP_CONCAT)
- Improved query building in GetReadyWork (proper string joining)
- Fixed P0 priority filter bug (using Changed() instead of value check)
All critical and major issues from code review have been addressed.
