Fixes#340
Created AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md to house detailed operational instructions,
reducing AGENTS.md from 963 to 626 lines (~35% reduction).
Changes:
- New AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md with development, testing, and release procedures
- AGENTS.md now serves as quick overview with references to detailed docs
- Updated README.md link to "Landing the Plane" section
- Fixed broken team-workflow README links
Benefits:
- Prevents context pollution when multiple tools add instructions
- Better separation: quick reference vs detailed operations
- Enables tool-specific instruction files
- Maintains all content, just reorganized

Added prominent warning at the top of the Agent Mail section in AGENTS.md
to prevent AI agents from attempting to use mcp-agent-mail tools when the
server is not set up.

The previous instructions mentioned sync carefully but didn't emphasize that
git push is absolutely required for the plane to actually land. Multiple agents
have failed to push, leaving work uncommitted on the runway.
Changes:
- Added explicit 'git push' step with CRITICAL emphasis
- Added verification step to check 'up to date with origin/main'
- Updated example workflow to show push as mandatory step
- Added clear statement: 'The plane has NOT landed until git push completes'
The metaphor is obvious - if you don't push, the plane is still on the ground!

* feat: Add reload button and multiselect status filter to monitor
- Changed status filter from single select to multiselect with 'Open' selected by default
- Added reload button with visual feedback (hover/active states)
- Updated filterIssues() to handle multiple selected statuses
- Added reloadData() function that reloads both stats and issues
- Improved responsive design for mobile devices
- Filter controls now use flexbox layout with better spacing
* fix: Update monitor statistics to show Total, In Progress, Open, Closed
- Replaced 'Ready to Work' stat with 'In Progress' stat
- Reordered stats to show logical progression: Total -> In Progress -> Open -> Closed
- Updated loadStats() to fetch in-progress count from stats API
- Removed unnecessary separate API call for ready count
* fix: Correct API field names in monitor stats JavaScript
The JavaScript was using incorrect field names (stats.total, stats.by_status)
that don't match the actual types.Statistics struct which uses flat fields
with underscores (total_issues, in_progress_issues, etc).
Fixed by updating loadStats() to use correct field names:
- stats.total -> stats.total_issues
- stats.by_status?.['in-progress'] -> stats.in_progress_issues
- stats.by_status?.open -> stats.open_issues
- stats.by_status?.closed -> stats.closed_issues

* fix: Make monitor require daemon to prevent SQLite locking
Implemented Option 1 from beads-eel: monitor now requires daemon and never
opens direct SQLite connection.
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
- Users can now close/update issues via CLI while monitor runs
- Clear error messages guide users to start daemon first
Fixes beads-eel

* docs: Add bd daemons restart subcommand documentation
Added documentation for the 'bd daemons restart' subcommand across all documentation files:
- commands/daemons.md: Added full restart subcommand section with synopsis, description, arguments, flags, and examples
- README.md: Added restart examples to daemon management section
- AGENTS.md: Added restart examples with --json flag for agents
The restart command gracefully stops and starts a specific daemon by workspace path or PID,
useful after upgrading bd or when a daemon needs refreshing.

Add comprehensive guidance for managing AI-generated planning documents
(Claude slop) to the bd onboard command. Addresses GitHub issue #196.
Changes:
- Add Managing AI-Generated Planning Documents section to onboard output
- Recommend using history/ directory for ephemeral planning files
- List common planning doc types (PLAN.md, IMPLEMENTATION.md, etc.)
- Provide .gitignore example and benefits explanation
- Add to Important Rules: Store AI planning docs in history/
- Update AGENTS.md with the same guidance to demonstrate the pattern
- Add comprehensive tests for onboard command
This uses inverted control: bd outputs guidance, AI agents intelligently
integrate it into their project's documentation (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md,
.cursorrules, etc.), respecting existing conventions.
