Epics now require a "Working Model" section in their description,
in addition to "Success Criteria". This provides clear guidance on
HOW the epic will be executed:
- Owner role: Coordinator vs Implementer
- Delegation target: Polecats, crew, external
- Review process: Approval gates

Remove Gas Town-specific type constants (TypeMolecule, TypeGate, TypeConvoy,
TypeMergeRequest, TypeSlot, TypeAgent, TypeRole, TypeRig, TypeEvent, TypeMessage)
from internal/types/types.go.
Beads now only has core work types built-in:
- bug, feature, task, epic, chore
All Gas Town types are now purely custom types with no special handling in beads.
Use string literals like "gate" or "molecule" when needed, and configure
types.custom in config.yaml for validation.
Changes:
- Remove Gas Town type constants from types.go
- Remove mr/mol aliases from Normalize()
- Update bd types command to only show core types
- Replace all constant usages with string literals throughout codebase
- Update tests to use string literals
This decouples beads from Gas Town, making it a generic issue tracker.

When creating issues with explicit IDs like `bd create --id hq-cv-test`,
the prefix validation was failing even when `hq-cv` was in `allowed_prefixes`.
Root cause: `ExtractIssuePrefix("hq-cv-test")` returns `"hq"` (not `"hq-cv"`)
because "test" looks like an English word, causing the algorithm to fall back
to the first hyphen. The validation then checked if `"hq"` was in the allowed
list containing `"hq-cv"` - which failed.
The fix adds `ValidateIDPrefixAllowed()` which validates the full ID using
"starts with" matching (the same approach the importer uses successfully).
This correctly handles multi-hyphen prefixes like `hq-cv-` regardless of
what the suffix looks like.
Fixes#1135

When ExtractIssuePrefix returns "hq" from an ID like "hq-cv-test"
(because "test" is word-like), but "hq-cv" is in allowedPrefixes,
we should accept "hq" since it's clearly intended to be part of "hq-cv".
This handles cases where the prefix extraction algorithm yields a
shorter prefix than the user intended, but the full intended prefix
is in the allowed list.

Core beads built-in types now only include work types:
- bug, feature, task, epic, chore
Gas Town types (molecule, gate, convoy, merge-request, slot, agent,
role, rig, event, message) are now "well-known custom types":
- Constants still exist for code convenience
- Require types.custom configuration for validation
- bd types command shows core types and configured custom types
Changes:
- types.go: Separate core work types from well-known custom types
- IsValid(): Only accepts core work types
- bd types: Updated to show core types and custom types from config
- memory.go: Use ValidateWithCustom for custom type support
- multirepo.go: Only check core types as built-in
- Updated all tests to configure custom types
This allows Gas Town (and other projects) to define their own types
via config while keeping beads core focused on work tracking.

The generic ValidateIDFormat() used isLikelyHash() which treated
3-character suffixes like "nux" as valid hashes, causing agent IDs
like "nx-nexus-polecat-nux" to extract prefix as "nx-nexus-polecat"
instead of the correct "nx".
Fix: For --type=agent, validate agent ID format first and use
ExtractAgentPrefix() which correctly extracts prefix from the
first hyphen for agent IDs.

Support --type enhancement as an alias for --type feature when creating
issues. The normalization happens before validation to ensure consistency
across all code paths.

* test(validation): add failing tests for hyphenated prefix parsing
Reproduces bug where `bd create --parent` fails for projects with
hyphenated prefixes like "bead-me-up" or "web-app".
Root cause: ValidateIDFormat splits on first hyphen, so:
"bead-me-up-3e9.1" → prefix "bead" (wrong, should be "bead-me-up")
The bug flow in create.go:
1. User runs: bd create "Child" --parent bead-me-up-3e9
2. GetNextChildID generates: bead-me-up-3e9.1
3. ValidateIDFormat extracts: "bead" (splits at first hyphen)
4. ValidatePrefix compares: "bead" vs "bead-me-up" → MISMATCH
Tests added:
- TestValidateIDFormat: 6 cases for hyphenated prefix IDs
- TestValidateIDFormat_ParentChildFlow: simulates exact --parent flow,
showing simple prefixes pass while hyphenated prefixes fail
Workaround: use --force flag to bypass prefix validation.
* fix(validation): support hyphenated prefixes in ValidateIDFormat
Use utils.ExtractIssuePrefix instead of naive first-hyphen splitting.
This fixes bd create --parent failing for projects with hyphenated
prefixes like "bead-me-up" or "web-app".
Before: "bead-me-up-3e9" → prefix "bead" (wrong)
After: "bead-me-up-3e9" → prefix "bead-me-up" (correct)
ExtractIssuePrefix uses smart heuristics: split on last hyphen,
check if suffix is hash-like (3-8 chars, alphanumeric, digits for 4+).
* Update internal/validation/bead_test.go

Remove Gas Town-specific issue types (agent, role, rig, convoy, slot)
from beads core. These types are now identified by labels instead:
- gt:agent, gt:role, gt:rig, gt:convoy, gt:slot
Changes:
- internal/types/types.go: Remove TypeAgent, TypeRole, TypeRig, TypeConvoy, TypeSlot constants
- cmd/bd/agent.go: Create agents with TypeTask + gt:agent label
- cmd/bd/merge_slot.go: Create slots with TypeTask + gt:slot label
- internal/storage/sqlite/queries.go, transaction.go: Query convoys by gt:convoy label
- internal/rpc/server_issues_epics.go: Check gt:agent label for role_type/rig label auto-add
- cmd/bd/create.go: Check gt:agent label for role_type/rig label auto-add
- internal/ui/styles.go: Remove agent/role/rig type colors
- cmd/bd/export_obsidian.go: Remove agent/role/rig/convoy type tag mappings
- Update all affected tests
This enables beads to be a generic issue tracker while Gas Town
uses labels for its specific type semantics.

feat: add multi-prefix support via allowed_prefixes config
Adds support for allowing multiple prefixes in a beads database via the
allowed_prefixes config key. This is needed for Gas Town which uses different
prefixes for different purposes (hq-, gt-, rig-specific prefixes).
Usage: bd config set allowed_prefixes "gt,hq,hmc"
PR #881 by @web3dev1337
Rewrites ValidateAgentID to scan right-to-left for known role tokens
instead of relying on fixed position parsing. This allows rig names
containing hyphens (e.g., ob-my-project-witness).

The ValidateAgentID function was hardcoded to only accept 'gt-' prefix,
but beads rig uses 'bd-' prefix. Now accepts any valid prefix.
Changes:
- Extract prefix dynamically instead of hardcoding 'gt-'
- Accept IDs like bd-mayor, bd-beads-polecat-pearl
- Update error messages to be prefix-agnostic
- Add test cases for alternative prefixes

Add composable issue validators to internal/validation package:
- IssueValidator type with Chain() composition function
- Exists(), NotTemplate(), NotPinned(), NotClosed(), NotHooked() validators
- HasStatus(), HasType() for checking allowed values
- ForUpdate(), ForClose(), ForDelete(), ForReopen() convenience chains
Update cmd/bd/show_unit_helpers.go to use centralized validators instead
of duplicated inline validation logic. This enables consistent validation
across all commands with a single source of truth.
