Make bd list print exactly one line per issue by default to fix agent
miscounting. Agents were getting confused by the multi-line format and
incorrectly counting open issues.
The new compact format shows:
bd-zo7o [P0] [task] open @assignee [labels] - Title
The original detailed multi-line format is preserved behind --long flag.

Adds fast unit tests for previously uncovered functions in the daemon package:
- checkDaemonErrorFile: tests reading daemon error files
- StopDaemon: tests error handling for non-running daemons
- KillAllDaemons: tests empty lists and non-alive daemons
- FindDaemonByWorkspace: tests not found case
- discoverDaemon: tests missing socket scenario
- CleanupStaleSockets: tests edge cases (already removed, alive daemon)
- Registry: tests corrupted file handling and unregistering non-existent entries
Coverage improved from 22.5% to 60.0% with only fast tests (<1s runtime).
All new tests work in -short mode and don't start actual daemons.

- bd-27xm: Mark as external debugging work
- Updated status doc to emphasize separation
- Agent Mail server at ~/src/mcp_agent_mail (separate repo)
- Beads integration will be lightweight HTTP client only
- Add --analyze mode to export candidates without API key
- Add --apply mode to accept agent-provided summaries
- Move --auto mode for legacy AI-powered compaction
- Update documentation for new workflow
- Addresses GH #243 complaint about API key requirement
Implements bd-jx90: simple cleanup command without API key requirement.
Features:
- Delete all closed issues with --force
- Filter by age with --older-than N (days)
- Preview with --dry-run
- Cascade deletion with --cascade
- JSON output support
Usage:
bd cleanup --force # Delete all closed
bd cleanup --older-than 30 --force # Delete >30 days old
bd cleanup --dry-run # Preview
Closes bd-jx90

- Add failIfProductionDatabase() check in Go test helpers
- Add temp directory verification in RPC test setup
- Create conftest.py with pytest safety checks for Python tests
- Add BEADS_TEST_MODE env var to mark test execution
- Tests now fail fast if they detect production .beads/ usage
This prevents test issues from polluting the production database
like the incident on Nov 7, 2025 where 29+ test issues were created
in .beads/beads.db instead of isolated test databases.

- Add BD_RPC_DEBUG=1 for lightweight timing logs to stderr
- Log socket path, socket exists check, dial timing, health check timing
- Improve daemon status message when lock not held
- Helps field triage of connection issues without verbose daemon logs
- Fixes bd-j7e2
Improvements:
1. Added top-level panic recovery in runDaemonLoop
- Captures stack trace and logs to daemon.log
- Writes daemon-error file with crash details for user visibility
- Cleans up PID file on panic
2. Replaced os.Exit calls with return statements where possible
- Allows deferred cleanup to run (lock release, socket removal, etc)
- Improves graceful shutdown on errors
3. Enhanced stopDaemon forced-kill path
- Removes stale socket file after process.Kill()
- Prevents socket artifacts from accumulating
4. Added integration tests for crash recovery
Closes bd-vcg5
- Changed TryConnect default from 2s to 200ms
- Updated fallback timeout in TryConnectWithTimeout
- Complements bd-wgu4 lock probe to eliminate 5s delays
- Fixes GH#243 (5s delay when daemon socket missing)
- Health checks still use longer timeouts via explicit TryConnectWithTimeout calls
Prevents data loss when exporting stale database by comparing issue IDs,
not just counts. Detects both scenarios:
- Database has fewer issues than JSONL
- Database has different issues than JSONL (same count)
Shows specific missing issue IDs in error. Allows override with --force.
Includes comprehensive tests for all scenarios.
- Add repair_deps(fix=False) for orphaned dependencies
- Add detect_pollution(clean=False) for test issue detection
- Add validate(checks=None, fix_all=False) for health checks
- Implemented in BdCliClient, stubs in BdDaemonClient
- Registered as MCP tools in server.py

bd export currently silently overwrites issues.jsonl even when the
database is stale (older than the JSONL file). This causes data loss
in multi-agent workflows.
Real incident from vc project:
- Agent A created 4 discovery epics and exported
- Agent B had stale database and exported, removing those epics
- Required manual recovery
Proposed fix: Check database freshness before export, similar to
VC's ValidateDatabaseFreshness(). Require --force to override.
Priority P1: Silent data loss in common multi-agent scenario.
