This prevents a common mistake where users add dependencies from child
issues to their parent epics. This creates a deadlock:
- Child can't start (blocked by open parent)
- Parent can't close (children not done)
Changes:
- dep.go: Reject child→parent deps at creation time with clear error
- server_labels_deps_comments.go: Same check for daemon RPC
- doctor/validation.go: New check detects existing bad deps
- doctor/fix/validation.go: Auto-fix removes bad deps
- doctor.go: Wire up check and fix handler

External dependencies (external:project:capability) are now visible in
the dependency tree output. Previously they were invisible because the
recursive CTE only JOINed against the issues table.
Changes:
- GetDependencyTree now fetches external deps and adds them as synthetic
leaf nodes with resolution status (satisfied/blocked)
- formatTreeNode displays external deps with special formatting
- Added helper parseExternalRefParts for parsing external refs
Test coverage added for:
- External deps appearing in dependency tree
- Cycle detection ignoring external refs
- CheckExternalDep when target has no .beads directory
- Various invalid external ref format variations
Closes: bd-vks2, bd-mv6h, bd-d9mu
Config (bd-66w1):
- Add external_projects config for mapping project names to paths
- Add GetExternalProjects() and ResolveExternalProjectPath() functions
- Add config documentation and tests
External deps (bd-om4a):
- bd dep add accepts external:project:capability syntax
- External refs stored as-is in dependencies table
- GetBlockedIssues includes external deps in blocked_by list
- blocked_issues_cache includes external dependencies
- Add validation and parsing helpers for external refs

Resolves conflicts and converts new defer/undefer commands from
fatih/color to the lipgloss semantic color system.
Key changes:
- Added StatusDeferred case in graph.go with ui.RenderAccent
- Converted status.go to use ui package for colorized output
- Converted defer.go/undefer.go to use ui package
- Merged GroupID and Aliases for status command
- Updated pre-commit hook version to 0.31.0
- Ran go mod tidy to remove fatih/color dependency
Replace all fatih/color usages with internal/ui package that provides:
- Semantic color tokens (Pass, Warn, Fail, Accent, Muted)
- Adaptive light/dark mode support via Lipgloss AdaptiveColor
- Ayu theme colors for consistent, accessible output
- Tufte-inspired data-ink ratio principles
Files migrated: 35 command files in cmd/bd/
Add docs/ui-philosophy.md documenting:
- Semantic token usage guidelines
- Light/dark terminal optimization rationale
- Tufte and perceptual UI/UX theory application
- When to use (and not use) color in CLI output
Add 'deferred' as a valid issue status for issues that are deliberately
put on ice - not blocked by dependencies, just postponed for later.
Changes:
- Add StatusDeferred constant and update IsValid() validation
- Add DeferredIssues to Statistics struct with counting in both SQLite
and memory storage
- Add 'bd defer' command to set status to deferred
- Add 'bd undefer' command to restore status to open
- Update help text across list, search, count, dep, stale, and config
- Update MCP server models and tools to accept deferred status
- Add deferred to blocker status checks (schema, cache, ready, compact)
- Add StatusDeferred to public API exports (beads.go, internal/beads)
- Add snowflake styling for deferred in dep tree and graph views
Semantics:
- deferred vs blocked: deferred is a choice, blocked is forced
- deferred vs closed: deferred will be revisited, closed is done
- Deferred issues excluded from 'bd ready' (already works since
default filter only includes open/in_progress)
- Deferred issues still block dependents (they are not done!)
- Deferred issues visible in 'bd list' and 'bd stale'

Add a --readonly flag that blocks all write operations, allowing workers
to read beads state without modifying it. Workers can use:
- bd show, bd list, bd ready (read operations)
Workers cannot use:
- bd create, bd update, bd close, bd sync, etc. (write operations)
The flag can be set via:
- --readonly flag on command line
- BD_READONLY=true environment variable
- readonly: true in config file
This enables swarm workers to see their assigned work from a static
snapshot of the beads database without accidentally modifying it.
Commands protected by readonly mode:
- create, update, close, delete, edit
- sync, import, reopen
- comment add, dep add/remove, label add/remove
- repair-deps, compact, migrate, migrate-hash-ids, migrate-issues
- rename-prefix, validate --fix-all, duplicates --auto-merge
- epic close-eligible, jira sync

Complete implementation of signal-aware context propagation for graceful
cancellation across all commands and storage operations.
Key changes:
1. Signal-aware contexts (bd-rtp):
- Added rootCtx/rootCancel in main.go using signal.NotifyContext()
- Set up in PersistentPreRun, cancelled in PersistentPostRun
- Daemon uses same pattern in runDaemonLoop()
- Handles SIGINT/SIGTERM for graceful shutdown
2. Context propagation (bd-yb8):
- All commands now use rootCtx instead of context.Background()
- sqlite.New() receives context for cancellable operations
- Database operations respect context cancellation
- Storage layer propagates context through all queries
3. Cancellation tests (bd-2o2):
- Added import_cancellation_test.go with comprehensive tests
- Added export cancellation test in export_test.go
- Tests verify database integrity after cancellation
- All cancellation tests passing
Fixes applied during review:
- Fixed rootCtx lifecycle (removed premature defer from PersistentPreRun)
- Fixed test context contamination (reset rootCtx in test cleanup)
- Fixed export tests missing context setup
Impact:
- Pressing Ctrl+C during import/export now cancels gracefully
- No database corruption or hanging transactions
- Clean shutdown of all operations
Tested:
- go build ./cmd/bd ✓
- go test ./cmd/bd -run TestImportCancellation ✓
- go test ./cmd/bd -run TestExportCommand ✓
- Manual Ctrl+C testing verified

Multiple CLI commands had a systematic bug where ResolveID responses were
incorrectly converted using string(resp.Data) instead of json.Unmarshal.
Since resp.Data is json.RawMessage (already JSON-encoded), this preserved
the JSON quotes, causing IDs to become "bd-1048" instead of bd-1048.
When re-marshaled for subsequent RPC calls, these became double-quoted
("\"bd-1048\""), causing database lookups to fail.
Bugs fixed:
1. Nil pointer dereference in handleShow - added nil check after GetIssue
2. Double JSON encoding in 12 locations across 4 commands:
- bd show (3 instances in show.go)
- bd dep add/remove/tree (5 instances in dep.go)
- bd label add/remove/list (3 instances in label.go)
- bd reopen (1 instance in reopen.go)
All instances replaced string(resp.Data) with proper json.Unmarshal.
Removed debug logging added during investigation.
Tested: All affected commands now work correctly with daemon mode.
Fixed TestHashIDs_IdenticalContentDedup test failure by removing duplicate
--json flag definitions that were shadowing the global persistent flag.
Root cause: Commands had both a persistent --json flag (main.go) and local
--json flags (in individual command files). The local flags shadowed the
persistent flag, preventing jsonOutput variable from being set correctly.
Changes:
- Removed 31 duplicate --json flag definitions from 15 command files
- All commands now use the single persistent --json flag from main.go
- Commands now correctly output JSON when --json flag is specified
Test results:
- TestHashIDs_IdenticalContentDedup: Now passes (was failing)
- TestHashIDs_MultiCloneConverge: Passes without JSON parsing warnings
- All other tests: Pass with no regressions

Multiple dep commands were directly accessing store without checking if
daemon was available, causing nil pointer dereferences when daemon was
running.
Fixed commands:
- dep add: Now uses RPC when daemon is available
- dep remove: Now uses RPC when daemon is available
- dep tree: Added fallback to direct storage when daemon lacks RPC support
- dep cycles: Added fallback to direct storage when daemon lacks RPC support
The commands with RPC support (add/remove) now use the daemon client
when available. Commands without RPC support (tree/cycles) fall back
to opening a direct database connection when the daemon is running.
Fixed three critical issues identified in code review:
1. Race condition with store access: Added storeMutex and storeActive
flag to prevent background flush goroutine from accessing closed
store. Background timer now safely checks if store is active before
attempting flush operations.
2. Missing auto-flush in import: Added markDirtyAndScheduleFlush()
call after import completes, ensuring imported issues sync to JSONL.
3. Timer cleanup: Explicitly set flushTimer to nil after Stop() to
prevent resource leaks.
Testing confirmed all fixes working:
- Debounced flush triggers after 5 seconds of inactivity
- Immediate flush on process exit works correctly
- Import operations now trigger auto-flush
- No race conditions detected

- Add package comment to cmd/bd/dep.go
- Change directory permissions from 0755 to 0750 in init.go
- Simplify getNextID signature (remove unused error return)
- Configure golangci-lint exclusions for false positives
- Document linting policy in LINTING.md
The remaining ~100 lint warnings are documented false positives:
- 73 errcheck: deferred cleanup (idiomatic Go)
- 17 revive: Cobra interface requirements and naming choices
- 7 gosec: false positives on validated SQL and user file paths
- 2 dupl: acceptable test code duplication
- 1 goconst: test constant repetition
See LINTING.md for full rationale. Contributors should focus on
avoiding NEW issues rather than the documented baseline.

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
