This implements the ability to separate bd-specific instructions from
project-specific instructions by generating a canonical BD_GUIDE.md file.
## Changes
1. Added `--output` flag to `bd onboard` command
- Generates version-stamped BD_GUIDE.md at specified path
- Includes both agentsContent and copilotInstructionsContent
- Auto-generated header warns against manual editing
2. Version tracking integration
- checkAndSuggestBDGuideUpdate() detects outdated BD_GUIDE.md
- Suggests regeneration when bd version changes
- Integrated with maybeShowUpgradeNotification()
3. Comprehensive test coverage
- Tests for BD_GUIDE.md generation
- Tests for version stamp validation
- Tests for content inclusion
4. Documentation updates
- Updated AGENTS.md with BD_GUIDE.md workflow
- Added regeneration instructions to upgrade workflow
## Benefits
- Clear separation of concerns (bd vs project instructions)
- Deterministic updates (no LLM involved)
- Git-trackable diffs show exactly what changed
- Progressive disclosure (agents read when needed)
## Usage
\`\`\`bash
# Generate BD_GUIDE.md
bd onboard --output .beads/BD_GUIDE.md
# After upgrading bd
bd onboard --output .beads/BD_GUIDE.md # Regenerate
\`\`\`
Closes bd-woro
Validate dependsOnID is non-empty before setting discoveredFromParentID
to prevent attempting to fetch an issue with empty ID.
Also added validation to ensure parent issue exists before generating
child IDs in direct mode.
Fixes: bd-ia8r
Fixes bd-bxha
Previously, bd init prompted users to install git hooks and merge driver,
which could result in incomplete setup if declined. Changed to install
both by default for better out-of-the-box experience.
Changes:
- Install git hooks automatically unless --skip-hooks is passed
- Install merge driver automatically unless --skip-merge-driver is passed
- Remove interactive prompts (no longer needed)
- Add warning messages on failure with suggestion to run bd doctor --fix
- Add --skip-hooks flag for explicit opt-out
Users who want to skip installation can now use:
bd init --skip-hooks --skip-merge-driver

Implements bd-zwtq: After bd init completes, run doctor diagnostics
to catch configuration problems before user encounters them in normal
workflow. If any warnings or errors are detected, show a summary with
issue names and messages, then direct user to run 'bd doctor --fix'.
This helps users immediately identify and fix setup issues like:
- Missing git hooks
- Unconfigured merge driver
- Missing agent documentation
- Metadata tracking not initialized

Critical fixes from code review:
1. **Moved auto-migration to correct location**
- Now runs AFTER daemon check but BEFORE opening database
- Prevents: database opened twice, conflicts with daemon
- Was: Running too early, before knowing if daemon exists
2. **Fixed context cancellation issue**
- Check if rootCtx is canceled before using it
- Fall back to Background() if canceled
- Fixes: "context canceled" errors in test suite
3. **Updated function signature**
- Takes dbPath as parameter (no longer searches for it)
- Simpler, more explicit, easier to test
- Caller already has dbPath, no need to re-discover
4. **Enhanced test reliability**
- Save/restore all global state
- Add debug logging for troubleshooting
- Verify preconditions before migration
Changes:
- cmd/bd/main.go: Move autoMigrateOnVersionBump call to correct location
- cmd/bd/version_tracking.go: Fix context handling, update signature
- cmd/bd/version_tracking_test.go: Improve test reliability
