- Add `bd molecule list` to list template molecules
- Add `bd molecule show` to show molecule details
- Add `bd molecule instantiate` to create work items from templates
- Exclude templates from `bd list` by default (use --include-templates)
- Reject mutations (update/close/delete) to template issues
- Add IncludeTemplates to RPC ListArgs for daemon mode
Templates are marked with is_template=true and are read-only.

This is the final phase of the Edge Schema Consolidation. It removes
the deprecated edge fields (RepliesTo, RelatesTo, DuplicateOf, SupersededBy)
from the Issue struct and all related code.
Changes:
- Remove edge fields from types.Issue struct
- Remove edge field scanning from queries.go and transaction.go
- Update graph_links_test.go to use dependency API exclusively
- Update relate.go to use AddDependency/RemoveDependency
- Update show.go with helper functions for thread traversal via deps
- Update mail_test.go to verify thread links via dependencies
- Add migration 022 to drop columns from issues table
- Fix cycle detection to allow bidirectional relates-to links
- Fix migration 022 to disable foreign keys before table recreation
All edge relationships now use the dependencies table exclusively.
The old Issue fields are fully removed.

Replaces manual working directory save/restore patterns
with Go's built-in `t.Chdir()` helper across 23 test files.
The manual pattern involved calling `os.Getwd()` to save
the original directory, using `defer os.Chdir(origWd)` for
restoration, and manually handling errors during directory
changes. This boilerplate has been replaced with single
`t.Chdir(path)` calls that handle cleanup automatically.
The `t.Chdir()` method automatically restores the working
directory when the test completes, eliminating the need for
manual defer statements and error handling.
Total:
~75 instances replaced (assuming Claude's math is right)

- EstimatedMinutes field to RPC CreateArgs and UpdateArgs

Implements flexible error handling for export operations with four policies:
- strict: Fail-fast on any error (default for user exports)
- best-effort: Skip errors with warnings (default for auto-exports)
- partial: Retry then skip with manifest tracking
- required-core: Fail on core data, skip enrichments
Key features:
- Per-project configuration via `bd config set export.error_policy`
- Separate policy for auto-exports: `auto_export.error_policy`
- Retry with exponential backoff (configurable attempts/delay)
- Optional export manifests documenting completeness
- Per-issue encoding error handling
This allows users to choose the right trade-off between data integrity
and system availability for their specific project needs.

Complete implementation of signal-aware context propagation for graceful
cancellation across all commands and storage operations.
Key changes:
1. Signal-aware contexts (bd-rtp):
- Added rootCtx/rootCancel in main.go using signal.NotifyContext()
- Set up in PersistentPreRun, cancelled in PersistentPostRun
- Daemon uses same pattern in runDaemonLoop()
- Handles SIGINT/SIGTERM for graceful shutdown
2. Context propagation (bd-yb8):
- All commands now use rootCtx instead of context.Background()
- sqlite.New() receives context for cancellable operations
- Database operations respect context cancellation
- Storage layer propagates context through all queries
3. Cancellation tests (bd-2o2):
- Added import_cancellation_test.go with comprehensive tests
- Added export cancellation test in export_test.go
- Tests verify database integrity after cancellation
- All cancellation tests passing
Fixes applied during review:
- Fixed rootCtx lifecycle (removed premature defer from PersistentPreRun)
- Fixed test context contamination (reset rootCtx in test cleanup)
- Fixed export tests missing context setup
Impact:
- Pressing Ctrl+C during import/export now cancels gracefully
- No database corruption or hanging transactions
- Clean shutdown of all operations
Tested:
- go build ./cmd/bd ✓
- go test ./cmd/bd -run TestImportCancellation ✓
- go test ./cmd/bd -run TestExportCommand ✓

- Health checks still use longer timeouts via explicit TryConnectWithTimeout calls
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)

Changes:
- Added 'monitor' to noDbCommands list in main.go to skip normal DB initialization
- Added validateDaemonForMonitor() PreRun function that:
- Finds database path using beads.FindDatabasePath()
- Validates daemon is running and healthy
- Fails gracefully with clear error message if no daemon
- Only uses RPC connection, never opens SQLite directly
Benefits:
- Eliminates SQLite locking conflicts between monitor and daemon
