- Add checkAndAutoImport() that detects empty DB with issues in git
- Automatically imports from git HEAD:.beads/issues.jsonl
- Integrated into list, ready, and stats commands
- Zero cognitive load for agents in fresh clones
- Makes JSONL truly the source of truth
- DB becomes ephemeral cache that auto-rebuilds
Also:
- Update AGENTS.md onboarding section with import instructions
- Merge PR #98 (enhanced .gitignore)

The 'blocked' command doesn't have RPC support in the daemon yet.
When the daemon is running, store is nil, causing a panic.
This fix detects when daemon is running but store is nil, and opens
a direct database connection as a fallback. This allows the command
to work even when the daemon is active, until proper RPC support
is added.
The statsCmd was not checking if a daemon client was available before
trying to access the store directly. When the daemon is running, store
is nil, causing a panic.
This fix adds a check for daemonClient and uses RPC to get statistics
when the daemon is available, falling back to direct store access only
when running in direct mode.
- Add 'bd epic status' to show epic completion with child progress
- Add 'bd epic close-eligible' to bulk-close completed epics
- Add GetEpicsEligibleForClosure() storage method
- Update 'bd stats' to show count of epics ready to close
- Add EpicStatus type for tracking epic/child relationships
- Support --eligible-only, --dry-run, and --json flags
- Fix golangci-lint config version requirement
Addresses GitHub issue #62 - epics now have visibility and
management tools for closure when all children are complete.

- Add daemon client infrastructure to main.go with TryConnect logic
- Update PersistentPreRun to detect daemon socket and route through RPC
- Add --no-daemon flag to force direct storage mode
- Update all commands (create, update, close, show, list, ready) to use daemon when available
- Maintain backward compatibility with graceful fallback to direct mode
- All commands work identically in both daemon and direct modes
Part of bd-110 daemon architecture implementation.

This is a fundamental architectural shift from binary SQLite to JSONL as
the source of truth for git workflows.
## New Features
- `bd export --format=jsonl` - Export issues to JSON Lines format
- `bd import` - Import issues from JSONL (create new, update existing)
- `--skip-existing` flag for import to only create new issues
## Architecture Change
**Before:** Binary SQLite database committed to git
**After:** JSONL text files as source of truth, SQLite as ephemeral cache
Benefits:
- Git-friendly text format with clean diffs
- AI-resolvable merge conflicts (append-only is 95% conflict-free)
- Human-readable issue tracking in git
- No binary merge conflicts
## Documentation
- Updated README with JSONL-first workflow and git hooks
- Added TEXT_FORMATS.md analyzing JSONL vs CSV vs binary
- Updated GIT_WORKFLOW.md with historical context
- .gitignore now excludes *.db, includes .beads/*.jsonl
## Implementation Details
- Export sorts issues by ID for consistent diffs
- Import handles both creates and updates atomically
- Proper handling of pointer fields (EstimatedMinutes)
- All tests passing
## Breaking Changes
- Database files (*.db) should now be gitignored
- Use export/import workflow for git collaboration
- Git hooks recommended for automation
