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.

The canonical beads database name is issues.jsonl. Tens of thousands of users
have issues.jsonl, and beads.jsonl was only used by the Beads project itself
due to git history pollution.
Changes:
- Updated bd doctor to warn about beads.jsonl instead of issues.jsonl
- Changed default config from beads.jsonl to issues.jsonl
- Reversed precedence in checkGitForIssues to prefer issues.jsonl
- Updated git merge driver config to use issues.jsonl
- Updated all tests to expect issues.jsonl as the default
issues.jsonl is now the canonical default; beads.jsonl is legacy

Hash-based IDs make collision resolution unnecessary. The flag was
already non-functional (handleCollisions returns error on collision
regardless of flag value).
Removed:
- --resolve-collisions flag from bd import
- ResolveCollisions field from ImportOptions and importer.Options
- All references in daemon, auto-import, and tests
- Updated error messages to reflect hash IDs don't collide
All import tests pass.

Enhances rename-prefix command with --repair flag to consolidate databases
with multiple prefixes. Creates shared issue ID utilities to eliminate code
duplication across import and rename operations.
Key changes:
- Add --repair flag to detect and consolidate multiple issue prefixes
- Create internal/utils/issue_id.go with ExtractIssuePrefix() and ExtractIssueNumber()
- Update all duplicate prefix extraction code to use shared utilities
- Add comprehensive tests for repair functionality

Critical fix for silent data corruption where database created 173
duplicate issues with wrong prefix (beads- instead of bd-).
Root cause: When issue_prefix config was missing, CreateIssue fell
back to deriving prefix from database filename (beads.db → 'beads'),
while auto-import imported bd- issues from git with SkipPrefixValidation.
This created duplicates.
Changes:
1. Removed derivePrefixFromPath() - never derive prefix from filename
2. CreateIssue/CreateIssues now REJECT if issue_prefix config missing
- Fail-fast with clear error message
3. Auto-import now SETS issue_prefix from first imported issue if missing
- Handles fresh clone scenario safely
4. Added newTestStore() helper that sets issue_prefix for tests
5. Updated test setup in multiple files to prevent test failures
Follow-ups filed: bd-167, bd-168, bd-169
Closes bd-166

Fixes bd-130
Fixed all CI failures that caused the original revert:
- Windows: Use filepath.ToSlash() for git paths (git always uses forward slashes)
- Nix: Skip test when git not available (NIX_BUILD_TOP env check)
- JSON parsing: Increased scanner buffer to 64MB for large issue descriptions
- Cross-platform: Added normalizeGitPath() helper for path comparisons
Also restored beads.jsonl > issues.jsonl precedence in checkGitForIssues().
All tests pass locally.

Fixes silent data loss when .beads/ directory removed and daemon auto-starts.
Root cause: checkGitForIssues() hardcoded 'issues.jsonl' but git tracks 'beads.jsonl'
Changes:
- Fix A (bd-131): checkGitForIssues() tries beads.jsonl first, then issues.jsonl
- Fix B (bd-132): Immediate export after import in bd init to prevent daemon race
- Fix C (bd-133): Safety check that fails loudly if import fails
- Fix D (bd-134): Daemon startup auto-import when DB empty but git has issues
- Tests (bd-135): Comprehensive integration test suite
Oracle-recommended improvements:
- Export to exact git-relative path (prevents path drift)
- filepath.ToSlash for Windows git compatibility
- 64MB scanner buffer for large JSONL lines
- Improved safety check messages (only suggest local file if exists)
All tests passing. No regressions.

Prevents agents from creating duplicate low-numbered issues when starting
with a fresh git clone that already has issues.jsonl in git history.
Changes:
- bd init now checks for existing issues in git after DB creation
- Auto-imports with collision resolution if found
- Updates AGENTS.md to simplify onboarding (just 'bd init')
Fixes the scenario where:
1. Fresh clone has .beads/issues.jsonl in git (212 issues)
2. Agent runs bd init (creates empty DB)
3. Agent starts creating bd-1, bd-2, etc (collisions with git)
Now bd init automatically imports all issues from git on first run.

- Detects prefix mismatches during import
- Shows warning with mismatched prefixes and counts
- Added --rename-on-import flag to automatically fix prefixes
- Auto-import is lenient about prefixes (doesn't enforce)
- All tests passing
- Add checkAndAutoImport() that detects empty DB with issues in git
- Automatically imports from git HEAD:.beads/issues.jsonl
- Integrated into list, ready, and stats commands
- Zero cognitive load for agents in fresh clones
- Makes JSONL truly the source of truth
- DB becomes ephemeral cache that auto-rebuilds
Also:
- Update AGENTS.md onboarding section with import instructions
- Merge PR #98 (enhanced .gitignore)
