Add bd sync --check command that performs pre-sync integrity checks
without modifying state:
1. Force push detection: Detects when sync branch has diverged from
remote, indicating a potential force push
2. Prefix mismatch detection: Scans JSONL for issues that don't match
the configured prefix
3. Orphaned children detection: Finds issues with parent references
to non-existent issues
Outputs diagnostic with actionable suggestions for each problem found.
Exits with code 1 if any problems are detected.
Implements bd-hlsw.1: Pre-sync integrity check
When sync.branch is set to the current branch (e.g., main), bd sync
now commits directly instead of failing with a worktree error.
Changes:
- sync.go: Detect when current branch == sync branch and skip worktree
- sync.go: Show appropriate messages for direct-mode commits/pulls
- doctor.go: Change from Error to OK status when on sync branch
The fix allows users to work directly on the sync branch without
having to switch to a different branch for bd sync to work.

The sync sanitize process was incorrectly removing newly created issues
when they happened to have IDs matching entries in the deletions manifest.
This could occur with hash-based IDs when content is similar to previously
deleted issues.
The fix adds protection for issues that were in the left snapshot (local
export before pull). These represent local work and should not be removed
by sanitize, even if they match entries in the deletions manifest.
Changes:
- Load left snapshot in sanitizeJSONLWithDeletions() to build protection set
- Add protection check before removing issues from JSONL
- Add ProtectedCount/ProtectedIDs to SanitizeResult for tracking
- Log protected issues during sync for visibility
- Add comprehensive test coverage for the fix

Closes: #478
When BEADS_DIR environment variable points to a separate git repository,
bd sync previously failed with "fatal: 'main' is already used by worktree"
because it computed repoRoot from cwd instead of the beads directory.
This fix detects when beads dir is in a different git repo than cwd and
uses direct git operations (add/commit/push/pull) instead of worktree-based
sync, bypassing the problematic worktree creation entirely.
Cherry-picked from PR #533 (cleaned up unrelated changes).

The sanitizeJSONLWithDeletions function was incorrectly removing ALL issues
whose ID appeared in deletions.jsonl, including tombstones. This caused:
1. Second sync after delete: tombstone removed from JSONL by sanitize
2. Import sees ID in deletions.jsonl but no tombstone in JSONL
3. Import creates new tombstone via convertDeletionToTombstone
4. UNIQUE constraint error: tombstone already exists in DB
The fix checks the issue status and only removes non-tombstone issues.
Tombstones are the proper representation of deletions and must be preserved.

The previous fix didn't handle the multi-repo case - it used bare
'jsonl_content_hash' key but daemon uses 'jsonl_content_hash:<repoKey>'.
Now properly computes repoKey for multi-repo support.
After bd sync completes with sync.branch mode, the daemon or next CLI
command could see a hash mismatch between the restored JSONL file and
the DB metadata, triggering auto-import which then schedules re-export,
dirtying the working directory.
Two fixes:
1. sync.go: Update jsonl_content_hash after restoreBeadsDirFromBranch
to match the restored file hash
2. daemon_sync.go: Update jsonl_content_hash after performAutoImport
succeeds (was missing, unlike CLI import path)

- Reset to remote's history then commit merged content on top
- Pre-emptive fetch before commit to reduce divergence likelihood

When sync.branch is configured, the sync command:
1. Exports changes to JSONL
2. Commits to sync branch via worktree
3. Pulls from sync branch
4. Restores .beads/ from HEAD to keep working directory clean
But PersistentPostRun's flushManager.Shutdown() was re-exporting to JSONL,
undoing the restore and leaving modified files.
Fix: Set skipFinalFlush flag when sync.branch mode completes successfully.
This prevents the final export in PersistentPostRun.
Also: Skip push to main branch when sync.branch is configured - all
pushes should go through the sync branch worktree.
When sync.branch is configured, the main branch's .beads/ directory was
showing as modified after every sync, even though the data was correctly
synced to the sync branch worktree.
This happened because:
1. Export writes to main's .beads/
2. Files are copied to worktree and committed there
3. But main's .beads/ now differs from what's committed on main
Fix: After sync completes, restore .beads/ from HEAD to keep the working
directory clean. The actual beads data lives on the sync branch; the main
branch's .beads/ is just a snapshot that should match what's committed.
When sync.branch is configured, bd sync now commits beads changes
to that branch via git worktree, keeping the user's current branch
(e.g., main) clean of beads sync commits.
Changes:
- Add internal/syncbranch/worktree.go with CommitToSyncBranch and
PullFromSyncBranch functions for worktree-based operations
- Modify sync.go to check sync.branch config and use worktree
functions when configured
- Skip pre-commit hooks in worktree commits (--no-verify) since
bd's pre-commit hook would fail in worktree context
- Re-export after import also uses worktree when sync.branch set
This enables the orchestrator workflow where multiple workers stay
on main but all beads commits flow to a dedicated beads-sync branch.

The existing ZFC checks only compared issue counts, missing the case where
counts match but content differs (e.g., status=open vs status=closed).
Added Case 3 (bd-f2f) hash-based staleness detection:
- Before export, check if JSONL content hash differs from stored hash
- If hash mismatch detected, import JSONL first to get remote changes
- Then proceed with export to write merged state
This prevents the corruption scenario where:
1. Stale DB has old status values (e.g., status=closed)
2. Remote JSONL has correct values (e.g., status=open)
3. Export would overwrite correct JSONL with stale DB values
4. Git 3-way merge would propagate the corruption

Root cause: bd sync exports DB to JSONL BEFORE pulling from remote.
If the local DB is stale (fewer issues than JSONL), the stale data gets
exported and committed, potentially corrupting the remote when pushed.
The existing ZFC (Zero-Fill Check) only detected when DB had MORE issues
than JSONL, missing the dangerous reverse case.
Fix: Added "reverse ZFC" check in sync.go that detects when JSONL has
significantly more issues than DB (>20% divergence or empty DB).
When detected, it imports JSONL first to sync the database before
any export occurs.
This prevents stale/fresh clones from exporting their incomplete
database state over a well-populated JSONL file.

Changed gitCommitBeadsDir to explicitly stage only sync files
(issues.jsonl, deletions.jsonl, metadata.json) instead of the
entire .beads/ directory.
This prevents staging gitignored snapshot files (beads.*.jsonl,
*.meta.json) that may still be tracked from before they were
added to .gitignore, which could cause merge conflicts when
multiple polecats run bd sync concurrently.
The staleness check compares last_import_time against JSONL file mtime.
File mtime has nanosecond precision, but last_import_time was stored with
only second precision (RFC3339). This caused a race condition where the
stored time could be slightly earlier than the file mtime, triggering
false "Database out of sync" errors - particularly in git worktrees.
Changed all 6 locations that set last_import_time to use RFC3339Nano.
The CheckStaleness parser already handles both formats, so this is
backward compatible.

## Problem
When bd sync detected stale DB (>50% divergence), it would import JSONL to fix the DB,
but then immediately export the DB back to JSONL. This caused the stale DB to overwrite
the JSONL after a git pull, undoing cleanup work.
Example scenario:
1. Clone has 688 stale issues in DB (628 closed)
2. git pull brings JSONL with 62 issues (cleanup applied)
3. bd sync detects 1009.7% divergence and imports JSONL (DB → 62 issues) ✓
4. bd sync exports DB to JSONL (JSONL still 62 issues) ✓
5. But this marks JSONL as "changed" and commits/pushes it ✗
## Solution
After ZFC (JSONL First Consistency) import, set skipExport flag to prevent the export step.
JSONL is the source of truth after import - DB should sync to match, not export back.
## Changes
- cmd/bd/sync.go: Add skipExport flag, set it after ZFC import
- cmd/bd/sync.go: Wrap export logic in `if !skipExport` block
- CHANGELOG.md: Update ZFC entry with accurate description
