When importing issues with explicit high IDs (e.g., bd-100), the
issue_counters table wasn't being updated. This caused the next
auto-generated issue to collide with existing IDs (bd-4 instead of bd-101).
Changes:
- Add SyncAllCounters() to scan all issues and update counters atomically
- Add SyncCounterForPrefix() for granular counter synchronization
- Call SyncAllCounters() in import command after creating issues
- Add comprehensive tests for counter sync functionality
- Update TestImportCounterSyncAfterHighID to verify fix
The fix uses a single efficient SQL query to prevent ID collisions
with subsequently auto-generated issues.
Add TestMultiProcessIDGeneration to reproduce the bug where multiple
bd create processes fail with UNIQUE constraint errors when run
simultaneously. Each goroutine opens a separate database connection
to simulate independent processes.
Test currently fails with 17/20 processes getting UNIQUE constraint
errors, confirming the race condition in the in-memory ID counter.
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
