extractParentChain was using strings.Split(id, ".") which incorrectly
parsed prefixes containing dots (like "alicealexandra.com"). This caused
--parent to fail with "parent does not exist" even when the parent was
present in the database.
The fix uses IsHierarchicalID to walk up the hierarchy correctly, only
splitting on dots followed by numeric suffixes (the actual hierarchy
delimiter).
Example:
- "test.example-abc.1" now correctly returns ["test.example-abc"]
- Previously it incorrectly returned ["test", "test.example-abc"]

Addresses code review feedback:
✅ P0 (Must Fix):
- Fix JSONL lookup to return LAST match, not FIRST (resurrection.go:160-162)
- Changed from early return to scan all matches and keep last
- Respects JSONL append-only semantics
✅ P1 (Should Fix):
- Add test for multiple JSONL versions
- TestTryResurrectParent_MultipleVersionsInJSONL verifies correct behavior
- Document error message change in CHANGELOG.md
- Old: "parent issue X does not exist"
- New: "parent issue X does not exist and could not be resurrected from JSONL history"
- Marked as breaking change for script parsers
✅ P2/P3 (Nice to Have):
- Add documentation to AGENTS.md explaining auto-resurrection behavior
- Document best-effort dependency resurrection
⏸️ Deferred (P1 - Optimize batch resurrection):
- Caching optimization deferred (no batch use cases currently)
All tests pass:
- Unit tests: internal/storage/sqlite/
- Integration test: TestImportWithDeletedParent
Refactored resurrection functions to accept optional *sql.Conn parameter:
- Added tryResurrectParentWithConn() internal function
- Added tryResurrectParentChainWithConn() internal function
- Updated CreateIssue to use conn-based resurrection
- Updated EnsureIDs to use conn-based resurrection
This eliminates 'database is locked' errors when resurrection
happens inside an existing transaction.
Fixes bd-58c0
Phase 2 of fixing import failure on missing parent issues (bd-d19a).
Implemented:
- TryResurrectParent: searches JSONL history for deleted parents
- TryResurrectParentChain: recursively resurrects entire parent chains
- Creates tombstones (status=closed) to preserve hierarchical structure
- Modified EnsureIDs and CreateIssue to call resurrection before validation
When importing a child issue with missing parent:
1. Searches .beads/issues.jsonl for parent in git history
2. If found, creates tombstone with status=closed
3. Preserves original title and metadata
4. Appends original description to tombstone
5. Copies dependencies if targets exist
This allows imports to proceed even when parents were deleted,
enabling multi-repo workflows and normal database hygiene operations.
Part of bd-d19a (fix import failure on missing parents).
