Added type-specific ID prefixes for better visual recognition:
- `bd pour` now generates IDs with "mol-" prefix
- `bd wisp create` now generates IDs with "wisp-" prefix
- Regular issues continue using the configured prefix
Implementation:
- Added IDPrefix field to types.Issue (internal, not exported to JSONL)
- Added Prefix field to CloneOptions for spawning operations
- Added IDPrefix to RPC CreateArgs for daemon communication
- Updated storage layer to use issue.IDPrefix when generating IDs
- Updated pour.go and wisp.go to pass appropriate prefixes
This enables instant visual recognition of entity types and prevents
accidental modification of templates.

Progress on eliminating separate .beads-wisp/ directory:
- Add --wisp flag to bd create (creates issue with Wisp=true)
- Update bd wisp create to use main db instead of separate wisp storage
- Update bd wisp list to query main db with Wisp filter
- Update bd wisp gc to work with main database
- Add Wisp field to RPC ListArgs for daemon mode support
- Fix terminology: use "old/abandoned" for time-based cleanup,
reserve "stale" for graph-pressure staleness (per Gas Town taxonomy)
Still TODO:
- Finish mol squash simplification (remove cross-store logic)
- Remove runWispSquash and squashWispToPermanent functions
- Update mol burn similarly
- Deprecate .beads-wisp/ functions in internal/beads/beads.go
- Test all changes

Add Title and Assignee fields to MutationEvent struct so activity feeds
can display meaningful context without extra lookups. Updated emitMutation
signature to accept these values and modified all callers:
- Create: passes issue.Title and issue.Assignee directly
- Update/Close: moved emitMutation after GetIssue to access enriched data
- Delete: uses existing issue lookup before deletion
- Dep/Label/Comment ops: passes empty strings (would require extra lookup)

Adds 'waits-for' dependency type for dynamic molecule bonding:
- DepWaitsFor blocks an issue until spawner's children are closed
- Two gate types: all-children (wait for all) or any-children (first)
- Updated blocked_cache.go CTE to handle waits-for dependencies
- Added --waits-for and --waits-for-gate flags to bd create command

- Add IssueType field to UpdateArgs in protocol.go
- Handle issue_type in updatesFromArgs in server_issues_epics.go
- Add validation using ParseIssueType before update

- JSON output support for both simple and grouped counts
- Both daemon and direct mode support
Implementation:
- Added OpCount operation and CountArgs to RPC protocol
- Added Count() method to RPC client
- Implemented handleCount() server-side handler with optimized bulk label fetching
- Created cmd/bd/count.go with full CLI implementation

The daemon RPC server was crashing with a nil pointer dereference when the
global daemon received list, ready, stats, or other storage-dependent RPC
requests. The global daemon is created with nil storage, causing these
operations to panic when they attempted to access storage methods.
This fix adds defensive nil checks at the beginning of all RPC handlers
that require storage access. When storage is unavailable, they now return
a proper JSON error response instead of crashing the daemon.
The error message also informs users that the global daemon is deprecated
and they should use local daemons instead.
Handlers fixed:
- handleCreate, handleUpdate, handleClose
- handleList, handleShow, handleReady, handleStale
- handleResolveID, handleStats, handleEpicStatus
- handleCompact, handleCompactStats
- handleDepAdd (and via handleSimpleStoreOp for all label/dep/comment ops)

- Dereference Design, AcceptanceCriteria, Notes, and Assignee pointers in updatesFromArgs
- Fixes EOF errors when using --notes, --design, --assignee, or --acceptance-criteria flags
- Enhance TestUpdateIssue to verify all pointer-dereferenced fields are correctly stored
Multiple CLI commands had a systematic bug where ResolveID responses were
incorrectly converted using string(resp.Data) instead of json.Unmarshal.
Since resp.Data is json.RawMessage (already JSON-encoded), this preserved
the JSON quotes, causing IDs to become "bd-1048" instead of bd-1048.
When re-marshaled for subsequent RPC calls, these became double-quoted
("\"bd-1048\""), causing database lookups to fail.
Bugs fixed:
1. Nil pointer dereference in handleShow - added nil check after GetIssue
2. Double JSON encoding in 12 locations across 4 commands:
- bd show (3 instances in show.go)
- bd dep add/remove/tree (5 instances in dep.go)
- bd label add/remove/list (3 instances in label.go)
- bd reopen (1 instance in reopen.go)
All instances replaced string(resp.Data) with proper json.Unmarshal.
Removed debug logging added during investigation.
Tested: All affected commands now work correctly with daemon mode.
When using `bd list --json`, each issue now includes:
- `dependency_count`: Number of issues this issue depends on
- `dependent_count`: Number of issues that depend on this issue
This provides quick access to dependency relationship counts without
needing to fetch full dependency lists or run multiple bd show commands.
Performance:
- Uses single bulk query (GetDependencyCounts) instead of N individual queries
- Overhead: ~26% for 500 issues (24ms vs 19ms baseline)
- Avoids N+1 query problem that would have caused 2.2x slowdown
Implementation:
- Added GetDependencyCounts() to Storage interface for bulk counting
- Efficient SQLite query using UNION ALL + GROUP BY
- Memory storage implementation for testing
- Moved IssueWithCounts to types package to avoid duplication
- Both RPC and direct modes use optimized bulk query
Tests:
- Added comprehensive tests for GetDependencyCounts
- Tests cover: normal operation, empty list, nonexistent IDs
- All existing tests continue to pass
Backwards compatible: JSON structure is additive, all original fields preserved.
