Add external_ref field to CreateArgs and UpdateArgs RPC protocol
structs to enable linking issues to external systems (GitHub, Jira,
Shortcut, etc.) when using daemon mode.
Changes:
- Add ExternalRef field to rpc.CreateArgs and rpc.UpdateArgs
- Update bd create/update commands to pass external_ref via RPC
- Update daemon handlers to process external_ref field
- Add integration tests for create and update operations
The --external-ref flag now works correctly in both daemon and direct modes.

* feat: Add reload button and multiselect status filter to monitor
- Changed status filter from single select to multiselect with 'Open' selected by default
- Added reload button with visual feedback (hover/active states)
- Updated filterIssues() to handle multiple selected statuses
- Added reloadData() function that reloads both stats and issues
- Improved responsive design for mobile devices
- Filter controls now use flexbox layout with better spacing
* fix: Update monitor statistics to show Total, In Progress, Open, Closed
- Replaced 'Ready to Work' stat with 'In Progress' stat
- Reordered stats to show logical progression: Total -> In Progress -> Open -> Closed
- Updated loadStats() to fetch in-progress count from stats API
- Removed unnecessary separate API call for ready count
* fix: Correct API field names in monitor stats JavaScript
The JavaScript was using incorrect field names (stats.total, stats.by_status)
that don't match the actual types.Statistics struct which uses flat fields
with underscores (total_issues, in_progress_issues, etc).
Fixed by updating loadStats() to use correct field names:
- stats.total -> stats.total_issues
- stats.by_status?.['in-progress'] -> stats.in_progress_issues
- stats.by_status?.open -> stats.open_issues
- stats.by_status?.closed -> stats.closed_issues

* fix: Make monitor require daemon to prevent SQLite locking
Implemented Option 1 from beads-eel: monitor now requires daemon and never
opens direct SQLite connection.
Changes:
- Added 'monitor' to noDbCommands list in main.go to skip normal DB initialization
- Added validateDaemonForMonitor() PreRun function that:
- Finds database path using beads.FindDatabasePath()
- Validates daemon is running and healthy
- Fails gracefully with clear error message if no daemon
- Only uses RPC connection, never opens SQLite directly
Benefits:
- Eliminates SQLite locking conflicts between monitor and daemon
- Users can now close/update issues via CLI while monitor runs
- Clear error messages guide users to start daemon first
Fixes beads-eel

* docs: Add bd daemons restart subcommand documentation
Added documentation for the 'bd daemons restart' subcommand across all documentation files:
- commands/daemons.md: Added full restart subcommand section with synopsis, description, arguments, flags, and examples
- README.md: Added restart examples to daemon management section
- AGENTS.md: Added restart examples with --json flag for agents
The restart command gracefully stops and starts a specific daemon by workspace path or PID,
useful after upgrading bd or when a daemon needs refreshing.

Fixes#114 and #122 by adding --description/-d flag to bd update CLI
and description parameter to MCP update_issue tool.
Changes:
- CLI: Added --description flag to updateCmd
- RPC: Added Description field to UpdateArgs
- Daemon: Updated updatesFromArgs to handle description
- MCP: Added description to update_issue, UpdateIssueParams, and clients
- Storage: description already supported in allowedUpdateFields
Tested in both daemon and direct modes.
- Added OpExport/OpImport to RPC protocol
- Implemented handleExport() in daemon to export via RPC
- Modified sync command to use daemon export when available
- Prevents nil pointer dereference when daemon is running
- Falls back to direct mode if daemon unavailable
- Add ExpectedDB field to RPC Request
- Server validates client's expected DB matches daemon's DB
- Return clear error on mismatch with both paths
- Old clients (no ExpectedDB) still work with warning
- Add Path() method to storage.Storage interface
- Tests verify cross-database connections rejected
Prevents database pollution when client connects to wrong daemon.
