Added IsBlocked method to Storage interface that checks if an issue is
in the blocked_issues_cache and returns the blocking issue IDs.
The close command now checks for blockers before allowing an issue to
be closed:
- If an issue has open blockers, closing is blocked with an error message
- The --force flag overrides this check
- Works in both daemon mode (RPC) and direct storage mode
- Also handles cross-rig routed IDs
This addresses the bug where agents could close a bead even when it
depends on an open bug/issue.

Adds a diagnostic check that discovers and reports custom types
used by child repos in multi-repo setups. This is the 'discover'
part of the 'trust + discover' pattern for federation.
The check:
- Lists custom types found in each child repo's config/DB
- Warns about hydrated issues using types not found anywhere
- Is informational only (doesn't fail overall doctor check)

When database is stale and a read-only command runs in --no-daemon mode,
auto-import from JSONL instead of returning an error. This fixes `gt sling`
failing with 'not a valid bead' after git pull.
Root cause: `ensureDatabaseFresh` would return an error when DB was stale,
but read-only commands like `bd show` should be able to auto-import and
proceed rather than blocking the user.
Changes:
- Modify ensureDatabaseFresh to call autoImportIfNewer() when stale
- Only error if --no-auto-import flag is explicitly set
- Add comprehensive tests for all staleness scenarios
Fixes: bd-9dao

After devcontainer restart (cold-start), `bd --no-daemon show` failed to
find beads because:
1. Read-only commands skipped auto-import
2. Newly created DB had no issue_prefix set, causing import to fail
This fix enables seamless cold-start recovery by:
- Allowing read-only commands (show, list, etc.) to auto-bootstrap when
JSONL exists but DB doesn't
- Setting needsBootstrap flag when falling back from read-only to
read-write mode for missing DB
- Auto-detecting and setting issue_prefix from JSONL during auto-import
when DB is uninitialized

* fix(doctor): add .sync.lock and sync_base.jsonl to gitignore
Problem:
- .sync.lock and sync_base.jsonl were missing from GitignoreTemplate
- Files introduced in PR #918 (pull-first sync) appeared as untracked
Solution:
- Add patterns to GitignoreTemplate with explanatory comment
- Add patterns to requiredPatterns for bd doctor validation
Impact:
- Existing users get warning via bd doctor, fix via bd doctor --fix
- New repos get correct gitignore on bd init
Fixes: GH#974
* docs(sync): fix sync_base.jsonl tracking status and add tests
Problem:
- SYNC.md incorrectly documented sync_base.jsonl as "git-tracked"
- No tests validated sync state file gitignore patterns

- Add TestGitignoreTemplate_ContainsSyncStateFiles
- Add TestRequiredPatterns_ContainsSyncStatePatterns
Relates to: GH#974
Two issues caused `bd migrate sync` to fail when run from a git worktree:
1. Used GetGitDir() instead of GetGitCommonDir() for worktree path
- GetGitDir() returns the worktree-specific path (.bare/worktrees/main)
- GetGitCommonDir() returns the shared git dir (.bare) where new
worktrees can actually be created
2. Used strings.Index instead of LastIndex in GetRepoRoot()
- When user paths contain "worktrees" (e.g., ~/Development/worktrees/),
Index finds the first occurrence and incorrectly strips the path
- LastIndex finds git's internal /worktrees/ directory
Added GetGitCommonDir() to internal/git/gitdir.go for reuse.
Fixes GH#639 (remaining unfixed callsite in migrate_sync.go)
When running `bd sync --import-only` while the daemon is connected, the command
fails with "no database store available for inline import".
Root cause:
1. PersistentPreRun connects to daemon and returns early without initializing
the store global
2. sync command closes the daemon connection (for consistency)
3. sync --import-only calls importFromJSONLInline which requires store != nil
4. Without ensureStoreActive(), the store is never initialized after daemon disconnect
Fix: Call ensureStoreActive() after closing the daemon connection in sync.go.
This ensures the local SQLite store is initialized for all sync operations
that need direct database access.
- Add ensureStoreActive() call after daemon disconnect in sync.go
- Add test documenting the bug and verifying the fix

Add AllowStale field to ListArgs struct to support resilient hook detection.
When set, callers signal they accept potentially stale data rather than

Add new command to find molecules where a gate has closed and the workflow
is ready to resume:
- `bd ready --gated` - Flag on existing ready command
- `bd mol ready` - Subcommand for discoverability
The command finds molecules where:
1. A gate bead (type=gate) has been closed
2. The step blocked by that gate is now ready
3. The molecule is not currently hooked by any agent
This enables the Deacon patrol to discover and dispatch gate-ready
molecules without explicit waiter tracking, supporting async molecule
resume workflows.
Includes 5 tests verifying:
- No false positives when no gates exist
- Detection of molecules with closed gates
- Filtering out molecules with open gates
- Filtering out already-hooked molecules
- Handling multiple gate-ready molecules

Problem:
- When dbPath is set to relative fallback (".beads/beads.db"),
findJSONLPath() returns a relative path
- daemon_sync_branch.go calls filepath.Rel(absolutePath, relativePath)
which fails with: "Rel: can't make .beads/issues.jsonl relative to ..."
Solution:
- Canonicalize dbPath at assignment in main.go:471 (source fix)
- Add defensive guard in findJSONLPath() (defense-in-depth)

Implements a new command to resolve git merge conflict markers in JSONL files.
Features:
- Mechanical mode (default): deterministic merge using updated_at timestamps
- Closed status wins over open
- Higher priority (lower number) wins
- Notes are concatenated when different
- Dependencies are unioned
- Dry-run mode to preview changes
- JSON output for agent integration
- Automatic backup creation before changes
The command defaults to resolving .beads/beads.jsonl but accepts any file path.

* feat(sync): implement pull-first synchronization strategy
- Add --pull-first flag and logic to sync command
- Introduce 3-way merge stub for issue synchronization
- Add concurrent edit tests for the pull-first flow
Ensures local changes are reconciled with remote updates before pushing to prevent data loss.
* feat(sync): implement 3-way merge and state tracking
- Implement 3-way merge algorithm for issue synchronization
- Add base state storage to track changes between syncs
- Add comprehensive tests for merge logic and persistence
Ensures data consistency and prevents data loss during concurrent
issue updates.
* feat(sync): implement field-level conflict merging
- Implement field-level merge logic for issue conflicts
- Add unit tests for field-level merge strategies
Reduces manual intervention by automatically resolving overlapping updates at the field level.
* refactor(sync): simplify sync flow by removing ZFC checks
The previous sync implementation relied on Zero-False-Convergence (ZFC)
staleness checks which are redundant following the transition to
structural 3-way merging. This legacy logic added complexity and
maintenance overhead without providing additional safety.
This commit introduces a streamlined sync pipeline:
- Remove ZFC staleness validation from primary sync flow
- Update safety documentation to reflect current merge strategy
- Eliminate deprecated unit tests associated with ZFC logic
These changes reduce codebase complexity while maintaining data
integrity through the robust structural 3-way merge implementation.
* feat(sync): default to pull-first sync workflow
- Set pull-first as the primary synchronization workflow
- Refactor core sync logic for better maintainability
- Update concurrent edit tests to validate 3-way merge logic
Reduces merge conflicts by ensuring local state is current before pushing changes.
* refactor(sync): clean up lint issues in merge code
- Remove unused error return from MergeIssues (never returned error)
- Use _ prefix for unused _base parameter in mergeFieldLevel
- Update callers to not expect error from MergeIssues
- Keep nolint:gosec for trusted internal file path
* test(sync): add mode compatibility and upgrade safety tests
Add tests addressing Steve's PR #918 review concerns:
- TestSyncBranchModeWithPullFirst: Verifies sync-branch config
storage and git branch creation work with pull-first
- TestExternalBeadsDirWithPullFirst: Verifies external BEADS_DIR
detection and pullFromExternalBeadsRepo
- TestUpgradeFromOldSync: Validates upgrade safety when
sync_base.jsonl doesn't exist (first sync after upgrade)
- TestMergeIssuesWithBaseState: Comprehensive 3-way merge cases
- TestLabelUnionMerge: Verifies labels use union (no data loss)
Key upgrade behavior validated:
- base=nil (no sync_base.jsonl) safely handles all cases
- Local-only issues kept (StrategyLocal)
- Remote-only issues kept (StrategyRemote)
- Overlapping issues merged (LWW scalars, union labels)
* fix(sync): report line numbers for malformed JSON
Problem:
- JSON decoding errors when loading sync base state lacked line numbers
- Difficult to identify location of syntax errors in large state files
Solution:
- Include line number reporting in JSON decoder errors during state loading
- Add regression tests for malformed sync base file scenarios
Impact:
- Users receive actionable feedback for corrupted state files
- Faster troubleshooting of manual configuration errors
* fix(sync): warn on large clock skew during sync
Problem:
- Unsynchronized clocks between systems could lead to silent merge errors
- No mechanism existed to alert users of significant timestamp drift
Solution:
- Implement clock skew detection during sync merge
- Log a warning when large timestamp differences are found
- Add comprehensive unit tests for skew reporting
Impact:
- Users are alerted to potential synchronization risks
- Easier debugging of time-related merge issues
* fix(sync): defer state update until remote push succeeds
Problem:
- Base state updated before confirming remote push completion
- Failed pushes resulted in inconsistent local state tracking
Solution:
- Defer base state update until after the remote push succeeds
Impact:
- Ensures local state accurately reflects remote repository status
- Prevents state desynchronization during network or push failures
* fix(sync): prevent concurrent sync operations
Problem:
- Multiple sync processes could run simultaneously
- Overlapping operations risk data corruption and race conditions
Solution:
- Implement file-based locking using gofrs/flock
- Add integration tests to verify locking behavior
Impact:
- Guarantees execution of a single sync process at a time
- Eliminates potential for data inconsistency during sync
* docs: document sync architecture and merge model
- Detail the 3-way merge model logic
- Describe the core synchronization architecture principles
* fix(lint): explicitly ignore lock.Unlock return value
errcheck linter flagged bare defer lock.Unlock() calls. Wrap in
anonymous function with explicit _ assignment to acknowledge
intentional ignore of unlock errors during cleanup.
* fix(lint): add sync_merge.go to G304 exclusions
The loadBaseState and saveBaseState functions use file paths derived
from trusted internal sources (beadsDir parameter from config). Add
to existing G304 exclusion list for safe JSONL file operations.
* feat(sync): integrate sync-branch into pull-first flow
When sync.branch is configured, doPullFirstSync now:
- Calls PullFromSyncBranch before merge
- Calls CommitToSyncBranch after export
This ensures sync-branch mode uses the correct branch for
pull/push operations.
* test(sync): add E2E tests for sync-branch and external BEADS_DIR
Adds comprehensive end-to-end tests:
- TestSyncBranchE2E: verifies pull→merge→commit flow with remote changes
- TestExternalBeadsDirE2E: verifies sync with separate beads repository
- TestExternalBeadsDirDetection: edge cases for repo detection
- TestCommitToExternalBeadsRepo: commit handling
* refactor(sync): remove unused rollbackJSONLFromGit
Function was defined but never called. Pull-first flow saves base
state after successful push, making this safety net unnecessary.
* test(sync): add export-only mode E2E test
Add TestExportOnlySync to cover --no-pull flag which was the only
untested sync mode. This completes full mode coverage:
- Normal (pull-first): sync_test.go, sync_merge_test.go
- Sync-branch: sync_modes_test.go:TestSyncBranchE2E (PR#918)
- External BEADS_DIR: sync_external_test.go (PR#918)
- From-main: sync_branch_priority_test.go
- Local-only: sync_local_only_test.go
- Export-only: sync_modes_test.go:TestExportOnlySync (this commit)

Use flush-only workflow when no git remote is configured
Detects local-only repos (no git remote) and provides appropriate instructions:
- bd sync --flush-only instead of full git workflow
- Clear note about local-only storage
- Prevents confusing git errors for non-git users
Stop existing daemons before binary replacement during install
Prevents file lock race condition by gracefully stopping bd daemons
before replacing the binary. Safe for fresh installs (skips if bd not found).
Fix git hooks failing when daemon is running
Git hooks were calling bd sync without --no-daemon, causing inline import to fail
with 'no database store available' because daemon mode only initializes daemonClient.
Fix: Add --no-daemon to all bd sync calls in git hooks to ensure direct mode.
Add project_id filter for Linear sync
When linear.project_id is configured, bd linear sync will only fetch issues
belonging to that project instead of all team issues.
Closes#937
In contributor mode (bd init --contributor), .beads/ is excluded in
.git/info/exclude to prevent committing upstream issue databases.
However, this exclusion applies to ALL worktrees, including the sync
worktree where .beads/ must be committed.
The fix adds -f flag to git add in commitInWorktree() to force-add
files even when gitignored. This follows the existing pattern in
beads where -f is used for worktree operations (git worktree add -f).
Fixes: bd sync failing with "git add failed in worktree: exit status 1"

Adds --dry-run flag that shows what would be created without actually
creating the issue. Useful for scripting and validation.
- Shows preview in human-readable format by default
- Outputs full issue JSON with --json flag (empty ID, not placeholder string)
- Skips all side effects (hooks, labels, dependencies)
- Works with --rig/--prefix flags (shows target rig)
- Errors gracefully with --file flag (not supported)
- Includes event fields when --type=event
- Add Option 3 to local-install step: build from source with macOS codesigning
- Clarify run-bump-script step: bump-version.sh is the authority for release mechanics
- Document --all flag includes --install --mcp-local --restart-daemons
- Add reference to ./scripts/bump-version.sh --help
When bd gate check encounters a gh:run gate with a non-numeric await_id
(workflow name hint like release.yml), it now auto-discovers the run ID:
- Queries GitHub directly with gh run list --workflow=X
- Takes the most recent run (deterministic: newest-first from API)
- Updates the gates await_id and proceeds with status check
This is ZFC-compliant: most recent run of workflow X is purely mechanical,
no heuristic scoring. Agents no longer need to run bd gate discover manually.

When a formula specifies a gate with id="release.yml", the AwaitID
now properly functions as a workflow name hint:
- gate discover: finds gates where AwaitID is empty OR non-numeric
- gate discover: filters matching runs by workflow name when hint present
- gate check: gracefully handles non-numeric AwaitID with clear message
Added isNumericRunID/isNumericID helpers and tests for the new behavior.
