When daemon detects multiple .db files (after filtering .backup and vc.db),
it now writes detailed error to .beads/daemon-error file before exiting.
The error file is checked and displayed when:
- Daemon discovery fails to connect
- Auto-start fails to yield a running daemon
- User runs 'bd daemons list'
This makes the error immediately visible without requiring users to check
daemon logs.
Changes:
- cmd/bd/daemon.go: Write daemon-error file on multiple .db detection
- internal/daemon/discovery.go: Read and surface daemon-error in DaemonInfo.Error
- cmd/bd/main.go: Display daemon-error when auto-start fails

- Changed backup file filtering from checking file extension (.backup) to checking if filename contains '.backup'
- This now properly filters files like 'beads.backup-pre-hash-20251030-171258.db'
- Also exclude vc.db from database detection
- Add strings import to beads.go
- Improve error message to suggest manual removal
Fixes bd-373c
- Add test for runCompactStats function (both JSON and regular output)
- Add tests for outputDotFormat and outputFormattedList functions
- Test dot format, digraph preset, custom templates, and error cases
- Coverage increased from 21.0% to 26.2% (5.2 percentage points)

Event-driven daemon is now production-ready after hardening fixes in
commit 349b892. Making it the default for v0.21.0.
Users can still opt back to polling mode with BEADS_DAEMON_MODE=poll
if needed.
Benefits:
- <500ms sync latency (vs 5000ms with polling)
- ~60% less CPU usage
- Instant reactivity to mutations and file changes
- Fallback polling when file watcher unavailable

Three critical fixes to make event-driven mode production-ready:
1. Skip redundant imports: Check JSONL mtime vs DB mtime to avoid
self-triggered import loops after export writes JSONL
2. Add server.Stop() in serverErrChan case: Ensures clean RPC
server shutdown on errors
3. Fallback ticker (60s): When file watcher unavailable (e.g., network
filesystems), fall back to periodic polling to detect remote changes
These minimal fixes address Oracle's concerns without over-engineering.
Event-driven mode is now safe for default.

Based on oracle feedback:
- Add parseChecks() helper for check normalization and validation
- Supports synonyms: dupes→duplicates, git-conflicts→conflicts
- Case-insensitive, whitespace-tolerant parsing
- Deduplicates repeated checks while preserving order
- Returns error for unknown checks (exit code 2)
- Fix JSON output robustness
- Serialize errors as strings, not objects
- Add 'failed' boolean per check
- Fix 'healthy' to include error state
- Improve error handling
- hasFailures() now includes check errors
- Exit code 1 for any failures (issues or errors)
- Exit code 2 for usage errors (invalid checks)
- Optimize database access
- Single SearchIssues() call shared across checks
- Only fetch if needed (orphans/duplicates/pollution)
- Stabilize output ordering
- Print checks in deterministic order (not map iteration)
- Use result.name for display labels
- Better UX
- Unknown checks fail fast with helpful message
- Deterministic output for CI/scripting
- More robust JSON for machine consumption
- Added --json flag registration for blockedCmd
- Fixed blockedCmd to read json flag from cmd.Flags()
- All commands now consistently support --json for agent use
- Completes the fix started in earlier commits for show/update/close/stats
- Import now checks timestamps before updating issues
- Only applies updates if incoming version is newer than local
- Prevents older remote versions from overwriting newer local changes
- Added comprehensive tests for timestamp precedence
- Fixes issue where git pull would revert local changes to open status
