When bd sync pushes from the sync-branch worktree, the pre-push hook
would detect uncommitted JSONL changes and suggest running bd sync -
which is circular since that's what the user is already doing.
Fix: Set BD_SYNC_IN_PROGRESS=1 environment variable when pushing from
worktree, and update pre-push hook to skip checks when this var is set.
Updated files:
- internal/syncbranch/worktree.go: Set env var on push command
- cmd/bd/templates/hooks/pre-push: Check for env var and exit early
- examples/git-hooks/pre-push: Same check
- .beads-hooks/pre-push: Same check
When sync branch diverges significantly from remote, provide clear
recovery options instead of a confusing rebase conflict error.
- Add CheckDivergence() to detect and report sync branch divergence
- Add ResetToRemote() to reset local sync branch to remote state
- Add --reset-remote and --force-push flags for recovery
- Improve error message when rebase fails to include recovery steps

* feat: auto-disable daemon in git worktrees for safety
Implement worktree daemon compatibility as proposed in the analysis.
The daemon is now automatically disabled when running in a git worktree
unless sync-branch is configured.
Git worktrees share the same .beads directory, and the daemon commits
to whatever branch its working directory has checked out. This causes
commits to go to the wrong branch when using daemon in worktrees.
- Add shouldDisableDaemonForWorktree() helper that checks:
1. If current directory is a git worktree (via git rev-parse)
2. If sync-branch is configured (env var or config.yaml)
- Modify shouldAutoStartDaemon() to call the helper
- Modify daemon connection logic in main.go to skip connection
- Add FallbackWorktreeSafety constant for daemon status reporting
- Update warnWorktreeDaemon() to skip warning when sync-branch configured
- In worktree WITHOUT sync-branch: daemon auto-disabled, direct mode used
- In worktree WITH sync-branch: daemon enabled (commits go to dedicated branch)
- In regular repo: no change (daemon works as before)
- Added comprehensive unit tests for shouldDisableDaemonForWorktree()
- Added integration tests for shouldAutoStartDaemon() in worktree contexts
- Manual E2E testing verified correct behavior
- Updated WORKTREES.md with new automatic safety behavior
- Updated DAEMON.md with Git Worktrees section
* feat: check database config for sync-branch in worktree safety logic
Previously, the worktree daemon safety check only looked at:
- BEADS_SYNC_BRANCH environment variable
- sync-branch in config.yaml
This meant users who configured sync-branch via `bd config set sync-branch`
(which stores in the database) would still have daemon disabled in worktrees.
Now the check also reads sync.branch from the database config table,
making daemon work in worktrees when sync-branch is configured via any method.
Changes:
- Add IsConfiguredWithDB() function that checks env, config.yaml, AND database
- Add findBeadsDB() to locate database (worktree-aware via git-common-dir)
- Add getMainRepoRoot() helper using git rev-parse
- Add getConfigFromDB() for lightweight database reads
- Update shouldDisableDaemonForWorktree() to use IsConfiguredWithDB()
- Update warnWorktreeDaemon() to use IsConfiguredWithDB()
- Add test case for database config path
* refactor: use existing beads.FindDatabasePath() instead of duplicating code
Remove duplicate getMainRepoRoot() and findBeadsDB() functions from
syncbranch.go and use the existing beads.FindDatabasePath() which is
already worktree-aware.
Changes:
- Replace custom findBeadsDB() with beads.FindDatabasePath()
- Remove duplicate getMainRepoRoot() (git.GetMainRepoRoot() exists)
- Remove unused imports (exec, strings, filepath)
- Clean up debug logging in tests

When sync.branch is configured to the same branch as the current branch,
git worktree creation fails because the same branch cannot be checked out
in multiple locations.
This fix detects when sync.branch equals the current branch and falls back
to direct commits on the current branch instead of using the worktree-based
approach.
Changes:
- Add IsSyncBranchSameAsCurrent() helper in syncbranch package
- Add GetCurrentBranch() helper function
- Update sync.go to detect this case and skip worktree operations
- Add unit tests for the new functionality

When multiple polecats run bd sync simultaneously, they race to push to
the shared beads-sync branch. Previously this caused non-fast-forward
errors that blocked all polecats.
Now pushFromWorktree:
- Detects non-fast-forward errors from git push output
- On conflict: fetches remote, rebases local commits on top, retries
- Uses exponential backoff for transient failures (up to 5 retries)
- Aborts rebase cleanly if it fails to leave worktree in good state
Fixes gt-zqor.

Changes:
- Add push parameter to PullFromSyncBranch function
- Add Pushed field to PullResult struct
- Add countIssuesInContent helper for safety check

When multiple clones commit to beads-sync branch and histories diverge,
git merge would fail. This replaces git's commit-level merge with a
content-based merge that extracts JSONL from base/local/remote and
merges at the semantic level.
Key changes:
- Add divergence detection using git rev-list --left-right
- Extract JSONL content from specific commits for 3-way merge
- Reset to remote's history then commit merged content on top
- Pre-emptive fetch before commit to reduce divergence likelihood
- Deletions.jsonl merged by union (keeps all deletions)

Previously sync.branch was stored in the database via bd config set.
Now it is in config.yaml (version controlled, shared across clones):
sync-branch: "beads-sync"
Changes:
- Add sync-branch to .beads/config.yaml
- Update syncbranch.Get() to check config.yaml before database
- Add syncbranch.GetFromYAML() and IsConfigured() for fast checks
- Update hooks to read sync-branch from config.yaml directly
- Update bd doctor to check config.yaml instead of database
- Remove auto-fix (config.yaml changes should be committed)
Precedence: BEADS_SYNC_BRANCH env > config.yaml > database (legacy)

sync.branch config was lost on clone because it was only stored in
the database (which is gitignored). Now syncbranch.Get() checks:
1. BEADS_SYNC_BRANCH env var (highest)
2. config.yaml sync-branch (tracked, persists across clones)
3. Database config (local override)
4. Empty (use current branch)
Changes:
- Update syncbranch.Get() to check config.yaml
- Update config.yaml template with sync-branch option
- Set sync-branch: beads-sync in this repo config.yaml

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.

Fixes daemon and bd sync to honor BEADS_SYNC_BRANCH environment variable
as documented in PROTECTED_BRANCHES.md for CI/CD temporary overrides.
Changes:
- Updated internal/syncbranch.Get() to prioritize env var over DB config
- Both daemon sync and bd sync CLI now use syncbranch.Get()
- Added comprehensive tests for env var override behavior
- Validates branch names using git-style rules
This enables CI/CD workflows to override sync branch per-job without
mutating database config.
