* feat: auto-disable daemon in git worktrees for safety
Implement worktree daemon compatibility as proposed in the analysis.
The daemon is now automatically disabled when running in a git worktree
unless sync-branch is configured.
Git worktrees share the same .beads directory, and the daemon commits
to whatever branch its working directory has checked out. This causes
commits to go to the wrong branch when using daemon in worktrees.
- Add shouldDisableDaemonForWorktree() helper that checks:
1. If current directory is a git worktree (via git rev-parse)
2. If sync-branch is configured (env var or config.yaml)
- Modify shouldAutoStartDaemon() to call the helper
- Modify daemon connection logic in main.go to skip connection
- Add FallbackWorktreeSafety constant for daemon status reporting
- Update warnWorktreeDaemon() to skip warning when sync-branch configured
- In worktree WITHOUT sync-branch: daemon auto-disabled, direct mode used
- In worktree WITH sync-branch: daemon enabled (commits go to dedicated branch)
- In regular repo: no change (daemon works as before)
- Added comprehensive unit tests for shouldDisableDaemonForWorktree()
- Added integration tests for shouldAutoStartDaemon() in worktree contexts
- Manual E2E testing verified correct behavior
- Updated WORKTREES.md with new automatic safety behavior
- Updated DAEMON.md with Git Worktrees section
* feat: check database config for sync-branch in worktree safety logic
Previously, the worktree daemon safety check only looked at:
- BEADS_SYNC_BRANCH environment variable
- sync-branch in config.yaml
This meant users who configured sync-branch via `bd config set sync-branch`
(which stores in the database) would still have daemon disabled in worktrees.
Now the check also reads sync.branch from the database config table,
making daemon work in worktrees when sync-branch is configured via any method.
Changes:
- Add IsConfiguredWithDB() function that checks env, config.yaml, AND database
- Add findBeadsDB() to locate database (worktree-aware via git-common-dir)
- Add getMainRepoRoot() helper using git rev-parse
- Add getConfigFromDB() for lightweight database reads
- Update shouldDisableDaemonForWorktree() to use IsConfiguredWithDB()
- Update warnWorktreeDaemon() to use IsConfiguredWithDB()
- Add test case for database config path
* refactor: use existing beads.FindDatabasePath() instead of duplicating code
Remove duplicate getMainRepoRoot() and findBeadsDB() functions from
syncbranch.go and use the existing beads.FindDatabasePath() which is
already worktree-aware.
Changes:
- Replace custom findBeadsDB() with beads.FindDatabasePath()
- Remove duplicate getMainRepoRoot() (git.GetMainRepoRoot() exists)
- Remove unused imports (exec, strings, filepath)
- Clean up debug logging in tests

Adds comprehensive Git worktree support for beads issue tracking:
Core changes:
- New internal/git/gitdir.go package for worktree detection
- GetGitDir() returns proper .git location (main repo, not worktree)
- Updated all hooks to use git.GetGitDir() instead of local helper
- BeadsDir() now prioritizes main repository's .beads directory
Features:
- Hooks auto-install in main repo when run from worktree
- Shared .beads directory across all worktrees
- Config option no-install-hooks to disable auto-install
- New bd worktree subcommand for diagnostics
Documentation:
- New docs/WORKTREES.md with setup instructions
- Updated CHANGELOG.md and AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md
Testing:
- Updated tests to use exported git.GetGitDir()
- Added worktree detection tests
