Currently 'bd daemon' with no args immediately starts the daemon. This is
inconsistent with other daemon management commands like --stop, --status,
etc. and makes the command less discoverable for new users.
Changes:
- Add --start flag to explicitly start daemon
- Show help text when no operation flags provided
- Update auto-start logic to use --start flag
- Update startDaemon() to pass --start when forking
- Update all documentation to use 'bd daemon --start'
- Update MCP Python client error messages
The MCP docs already incorrectly showed 'bd daemon start' which doesn't
work, so this change fixes that documentation bug while improving UX.
Auto-start still works correctly - it now passes --start internally.
Fixes bd-gfu

- MCP server now uses daemon client by default with CLI fallback
- Added BEADS_USE_DAEMON environment variable (default: enabled)
- Created multi-repo integration test (all tests pass)
- Updated .gitignore for daemon runtime files
- Added SETUP_DAEMON.md with migration instructions
- Closed bd-105 (investigation complete) and bd-114 (multi-server confusion)
This enables single MCP server to handle multiple repos via daemon
with per-request context routing. No more multiple MCP server configs!
