Created complete documentation suite for using beads with protected branches:
1. **docs/PROTECTED_BRANCHES.md** - Comprehensive 600+ line guide covering:
- Quick start and setup
- How git worktrees work
- Daily workflow for agents and humans
- Merging strategies (PR and direct)
- Troubleshooting common issues
- Platform-specific notes (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket)
- Advanced topics (CI/CD, multi-clone sync, etc.)
2. **AGENTS.md** - Added "Protected Branch Workflow" section:
- Quick reference for agents
- No changes needed to agent workflows
- Commands for setup and merging
- Link to detailed docs
3. **README.md** - Updated with:
- Protected branch support feature flag
- Quick start instructions with --branch flag
- Link to comprehensive guide
4. **examples/protected-branch/** - Working example with:
- Step-by-step demo
- Multi-clone sync workflow
- GitHub Actions integration example
- Directory structure explanation
- Troubleshooting tips
All commands verified:
- bd init --branch <name>
- bd config get/set sync.branch
- bd sync --status
- bd sync --merge
Documentation is platform-agnostic and works with GitHub, GitLab,
Bitbucket, or any git platform with branch protection.

- Start with 4-char IDs for small databases (0-500 issues)
- Scale to 5-char at 500-1500 issues, 6-char at 1500+
- Configurable via max_collision_prob, min/max_hash_length
- Birthday paradox math ensures collision probability stays under threshold
- Comprehensive tests and documentation
- Collision calculator tool for analysis
Also filed bd-aa744b to remove sequential ID code path.
- Moved collision-resolution-failure-analysis.md to docs/
(better organization with other architecture docs)
- Created bd-191: Add --parent flag to bd list command
Useful for listing children of an epic, will be even better
with hierarchical IDs (bd-165)

- Move RELEASING.md and LINTING.md to docs/ (maintainer-only content)
- Delete WORKFLOW.md (agent workflow content belongs in AGENTS.md)
- Delete TEXT_FORMATS.md (technical details belong in ADVANCED.md)
- Update all cross-references to point to new locations
- Keep CLAUDE.md (required by Claude Code)
Reduces root-level docs from 20 to 16 files with clearer organization.
