- Implements bd stale command to show issues with execution_state where executor is dead/stopped
- Adds --release flag to automatically release orphaned issues
- Adds --threshold flag to customize heartbeat staleness threshold (default: 300s/5min)
- Handles missing executor instances (LEFT JOIN) for cases where executor was deleted
- Adds QueryContext and BeginTx helper methods to SQLiteStorage for advanced queries
- Fixes ExternalRef comparison bug in import_shared.go (pointer vs string)
- Removes unused imports in import.go
Resolves vc-124
The skipUpdate flag should only apply to existing DB issues, not to
duplicates within the import batch. Batch duplicates always use
last-one-wins semantics.
- Replace CreateIssue loop with single CreateIssues batch call
- Add in-memory de-duplication for duplicate IDs (last one wins)
- 5-15x faster for bulk imports
- All tests pass
- Add closed_at field to Issue type with JSON marshaling
- Implement closed_at timestamp in SQLite storage layer
- Update import/export to handle closed_at field
- Add comprehensive tests for closed_at functionality
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing databases

Add nullable external_ref TEXT field to link bd issues with external
systems like GitHub Issues, Jira, etc. Includes automatic schema
migration for backward compatibility.
Changes:
- Added external_ref column to issues table with feature-based migration
- Updated Issue struct with ExternalRef *string field
- Added --external-ref flag to bd create and bd update commands
- Updated all SQL queries across the codebase to include external_ref:
- GetIssue, CreateIssue, UpdateIssue, SearchIssues
- GetDependencies, GetDependents, GetDependencyTree
- GetReadyWork, GetBlockedIssues, GetIssuesByLabel
- Added external_ref handling in import/export logic
- Follows existing patterns for nullable fields (sql.NullString)
This enables tracking relationships between bd issues and external
systems without requiring changes to existing databases or JSONL files.

This commit addresses all critical follow-up issues identified in the
code review of PR #8 (atomic counter implementation).
## bd-64: Fix SyncAllCounters performance bottleneck (P0)
- Replace SyncAllCounters() on every CreateIssue with lazy initialization
- Add ensureCounterInitialized() that only scans prefix-specific issues on first use
- Performance improvement: O(n) full table scan → O(1) for subsequent creates
- Add comprehensive tests in lazy_init_test.go
## bd-65: Add migration for issue_counters table (P1)
- Add migrateIssueCountersTable() similar to migrateDirtyIssuesTable()
- Checks if table is empty and syncs from existing issues on first open
- Handles both fresh databases and migrations from old databases
- Add comprehensive tests in migration_test.go (3 scenarios)
## bd-66: Make import counter sync failure fatal (P1)
- Change SyncAllCounters() failure from warning to fatal error in import
- Prevents ID collisions when counter sync fails
- Data integrity > convenience
## bd-67: Update test comments (P2)
- Update TestMultiProcessIDGeneration comments to reflect fix is in place
- Change "With the bug, we expect errors" → "After the fix, all should succeed"
All tests pass. Atomic counter implementation is now production-ready.

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.
Fixed three critical issues identified in code review:
1. Race condition with store access: Added storeMutex and storeActive
flag to prevent background flush goroutine from accessing closed
store. Background timer now safely checks if store is active before
attempting flush operations.
2. Missing auto-flush in import: Added markDirtyAndScheduleFlush()
call after import completes, ensuring imported issues sync to JSONL.
3. Timer cleanup: Explicitly set flushTimer to nil after Stop() to
prevent resource leaks.
Testing confirmed all fixes working:
- Debounced flush triggers after 5 seconds of inactivity
- Immediate flush on process exit works correctly
- Import operations now trigger auto-flush
- No race conditions detected

Fixed critical issues identified in code review:
- Fixed invalid Go version (1.25.2 → 1.21) in go.mod
- Fixed unchecked error in import.go JSON unmarshaling
- Fixed unchecked error returns in test cleanup (export_import_test.go, import_collision_test.go)
- Removed duplicate test code in dependencies_test.go via helper function
Added release infrastructure:
- Added 'bd version' command with JSON output support
- Created comprehensive CHANGELOG.md following Keep a Changelog format
- Updated README.md with clear alpha status warnings
All tests passing. Ready for public repository opening.

Implements --resolve-collisions flag for import command to safely handle ID
collisions during branch merges. When enabled, colliding issues are remapped
to new IDs and all text references and dependencies are automatically updated.
Also adds comprehensive tests, branch-merge example, and documentation.

Added dependency support to export/import workflow:
Changes:
- Added GetDependencyRecords() to Storage interface to get raw dependency records
- Extended Issue struct with Dependencies field (omitempty for backward compat)
- Modified export.go to populate dependencies for each issue
- Modified import.go to process dependencies in second pass after all issues exist
- All tests pass
Benefits:
- JSONL is now self-contained with full dependency information
- Enables proper collision resolution in future (bd-12+)
- Idempotent imports: existing dependencies are not duplicated
- Forward references handled: dependencies created after all issues exist
Example output:
{
"id": "bd-10",
"title": "...",
"dependencies": [{
"issue_id": "bd-10",
"depends_on_id": "bd-9",
"type": "parent-child",
"created_at": "...",
"created_by": "stevey"
}]
}
Closes bd-10

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
