Problem: Existing beads repositories initialized before commit a4c38d5 don't have sync.branch configured. This causes 'bd sync --status' to fail with a confusing error.
Solution: Added new check in 'bd doctor' that detects when sync.branch is not configured and provides automatic fix via 'bd doctor --fix'. The fix automatically sets sync.branch to the current branch using 'git symbolic-ref --short HEAD'.
Changes:
- Added checkSyncBranchConfig() function in doctor.go
- Created fix/sync_branch.go with SyncBranchConfig() fix handler
- Added comprehensive test coverage in doctor_test.go
- Integrated check into applyFixes() switch statement

Git merge drivers only support three placeholders:
- %O (ancestor/base)
- %A (current version)
- %B (other branch's version)
The code was incorrectly using %L and %R, which don't exist in git,
causing them to be passed through literally and breaking JSONL merges.
Changes:
- Fixed merge driver config in init.go, merge.go, README.md, docs
- Added detection in bd doctor with clear error messages
- Added auto-fix in bd doctor --fix
- Added proactive warning in bd sync before git pull
- Added reactive error detection after merge failures
- Updated all tests to use correct placeholders
Now users get helpful guidance at every step:
1. bd doctor detects the issue
2. bd doctor --fix auto-corrects it
3. bd sync warns before pulling if misconfigured
4. Error messages suggest bd doctor --fix when merge fails

Implements automatic fix capability for bd doctor with user confirmation
and security hardening.
Features:
- Organizes fix implementations under doctor/fix/ directory structure
- Shows all fixable issues and prompts for confirmation (Y/n) before applying
- Provides clear output about what was fixed and any errors encountered
- Re-runs diagnostics after fixes to show updated state
- Each fix is idempotent and safe to run multiple times
Automatic fixes implemented:
- Git hooks (runs bd hooks install)
- Daemon health issues (runs bd daemons killall)
- DB-JSONL sync problems (runs bd sync --import-only)
- File permissions (fixes .beads/ and database permissions)
- Database version mismatches (runs bd migrate)
- Schema compatibility issues (runs bd migrate)
- Gitignore updates (writes canonical template)
Security improvements:
- Prevents command injection by using os.Executable() instead of PATH lookup
- Prevents path traversal attacks with workspace validation
- Fixes race conditions by using cmd.Dir instead of os.Chdir()
- Corrects file permission logic (proper bit masking)
- Validates all operations run in beads workspaces only
Files changed:
- cmd/bd/doctor.go: Enhanced applyFixes() with confirmation and better UX
- cmd/bd/doctor/gitignore.go: Fixed permissions (0600 → 0644)
- cmd/bd/doctor/fix/common.go: Security helpers (getBdBinary, validateBeadsWorkspace)
- cmd/bd/doctor/fix/hooks.go: Git hooks fix
- cmd/bd/doctor/fix/daemon.go: Daemon health fix
- cmd/bd/doctor/fix/sync.go: DB-JSONL sync fix
- cmd/bd/doctor/fix/permissions.go: File permissions fix
- cmd/bd/doctor/fix/migrate.go: Database migration fixes
