When bd sync pushes from the sync-branch worktree, the pre-push hook
would detect uncommitted JSONL changes and suggest running bd sync -
which is circular since that's what the user is already doing.
Fix: Set BD_SYNC_IN_PROGRESS=1 environment variable when pushing from
worktree, and update pre-push hook to skip checks when this var is set.
Updated files:
- internal/syncbranch/worktree.go: Set env var on push command
- cmd/bd/templates/hooks/pre-push: Check for env var and exit early
- examples/git-hooks/pre-push: Same check
- .beads-hooks/pre-push: Same check
Fixes GH#409 - Documentation inconsistently referred to beads.jsonl
as the canonical filename when issues.jsonl has been the default
since v0.25.1 (bd-6xd).
Updated files:
- docs/ARCHITECTURE.md
- docs/CLI_REFERENCE.md
- docs/PROTECTED_BRANCHES.md

Note: beads.jsonl is still supported for backward compatibility.

Fixes GH#483 - The pre-commit hook was blocking commits when
`bd sync --flush-only` failed, even if the user had removed beads
from their branch. This made it impossible to commit on branches
that don't have beads configured.
Changes:
- Change "Error:" to "Warning:" in the message
- Remove `exit 1` so commits proceed even if flush fails
- Add comments explaining why we don't block commits

Previously sync.branch was stored in the database via bd config set.
Now it is in config.yaml (version controlled, shared across clones):
sync-branch: "beads-sync"
Changes:
- Add sync-branch to .beads/config.yaml
- Update syncbranch.Get() to check config.yaml before database
- Add syncbranch.GetFromYAML() and IsConfigured() for fast checks
- Update hooks to read sync-branch from config.yaml directly
- Update bd doctor to check config.yaml instead of database
- Remove auto-fix (config.yaml changes should be committed)
Precedence: BEADS_SYNC_BRANCH env > config.yaml > database (legacy)

When sync.branch is configured, .beads changes are committed to a
separate branch via worktree rather than the current branch. Updated
both hooks to detect this configuration and skip the uncommitted
.beads check in that scenario.
Changes:
- pre-push: Skip uncommitted .beads check when sync.branch is set
- pre-commit: Skip flush and auto-staging when sync.branch is set
- Both: Use --json output for reliable config value detection
- Bump version to 0.22.2

Adds worktree detection to post-checkout hooks. When entering a git
worktree, displays a warning explaining that daemon mode has limitations
with worktrees and recommends using BEADS_NO_DAEMON=1.
Detection uses `git rev-parse --git-dir` vs `--git-common-dir` comparison
to identify worktree checkouts.

Two fixes to prevent git pull --rebase from failing:
1. Skip hook execution during rebase operations by detecting
.git/rebase-merge or .git/rebase-apply directories
2. Use --no-git-history flag to prevent git-history-backfill
from writing to deletions.jsonl during imports
The root cause was that post-checkout hooks were running during
rebase, triggering the git-history-backfill which appends to
deletions.jsonl. This created uncommitted changes that blocked
the rebase from continuing.
Bump hooks version to 0.26.0.

The pre-commit and pre-push hooks were only staging beads.jsonl and
issues.jsonl, but not deletions.jsonl. This caused deletions.jsonl
to remain untracked after bd cleanup or bd delete operations.
Updated all hook locations:

- cmd/bd/templates/hooks/pre-push
- examples/git-hooks/pre-commit

- Add hints.doctor config option to suppress doctor hints globally
- Update post-merge/post-checkout hooks to call bd doctor --check-health
- Suggest running bd doctor in upgrade notification
- Modernize post-checkout hook (bash→sh, use bd sync instead of bd import)

The pre-push hook now provides better guidance when beads JSONL has
uncommitted changes:
- Interactive terminals: Prompts to auto-run 'bd sync' (y/N)
- Non-interactive/CI: Shows 'bd sync' command to run
- Fallback: Manual git commands if bd not available
This addresses the UX issue where users weren't sure they should
run 'bd sync' instead of manual git commands.

- Fix existing tests to work with new installHooks signature
- Add TestInstallHooksShared to verify shared hooks functionality
- Update git-hooks README with comprehensive --shared documentation
- Document benefits, use cases, and workflow for shared hooks
Previously the hook redirected stderr to /dev/null, hiding useful error
messages like 'Git conflict markers detected'. Users only saw a generic
warning with no indication of the root cause.
Now captures and displays the actual error output, making it immediately
clear what went wrong (e.g., merge conflicts in JSONL).

Oracle identified a critical race condition in the initial fix:
- Pre-push hook checked for changes but didn't flush first
- Pending 5s-debounced flushes could land after the check
- Result: stale JSONL could still be pushed
Improvements:
1. Pre-push now flushes pending changes FIRST (bd sync --flush-only)
2. Uses git status --porcelain to catch ALL change types:
- Staged, unstaged, untracked, deleted, renamed, conflicts
3. Handles both beads.jsonl and issues.jsonl (backward compat)
4. Works even without bd installed (git-only check)
5. Pre-commit stages both JSONL files (simpler loop)
This completely eliminates the race condition.
The original pre-push hook tried to export DB → JSONL during the push,
then run 'git add', but this doesn't work because:
1. The commit is already created when pre-push runs
2. git add in pre-push stages files for a FUTURE commit
3. The current push sends the old commit with stale JSONL
4. Result: dirty git status after push
Fix:
- Pre-push now CHECKS for uncommitted JSONL changes
- If found, it FAILS the push with clear instructions
- User must commit JSONL before pushing
- This prevents stale JSONL from reaching remote
The pre-commit hook already properly flushes changes, so this
catch-all prevents changes made BETWEEN commit and push.

Adds auto-import feature to complement bd-35's auto-export, completing
the automatic sync workflow for git collaboration.
**Implementation:**
- Auto-import checks if JSONL is newer than DB on command startup
- Silently imports JSONL when modification time is newer
- Skips import command itself to avoid recursion
- Can be disabled with --no-auto-import flag
**Documentation updates:**
- Updated README.md git workflow section
- Updated CLAUDE.md workflow and pro tips
- Updated bd quickstart with auto-sync section
- Updated git hooks README to clarify they're now optional
**Testing:**
- Tested auto-import by touching JSONL and running commands
- Tested auto-export with create/close operations
- Complete workflow verified working
Closes bd-33
