This is the final phase of the Edge Schema Consolidation. It removes
the deprecated edge fields (RepliesTo, RelatesTo, DuplicateOf, SupersededBy)
from the Issue struct and all related code.
Changes:
- Remove edge fields from types.Issue struct
- Remove edge field scanning from queries.go and transaction.go
- Update graph_links_test.go to use dependency API exclusively
- Update relate.go to use AddDependency/RemoveDependency
- Update show.go with helper functions for thread traversal via deps
- Update mail_test.go to verify thread links via dependencies
- Add migration 022 to drop columns from issues table
- Fix cycle detection to allow bidirectional relates-to links
- Fix migration 022 to disable foreign keys before table recreation
All edge relationships now use the dependencies table exclusively.
The old Issue fields are fully removed.

Remove the entire YAML-based workflow system in preparation for
redesigning templates as native Beads.
Removed:
- cmd/bd/templates/workflows/*.yaml
- cmd/bd/workflow.go
- internal/types/workflow.go (WorkflowTemplate types)
The new design will use regular Beads with a template label,
and a clone-with-substitution operation for instantiation.

Adds `bd workflow` command group that creates epics with dependent child tasks
from YAML templates. This enables structured multi-step workflows like version
bumps where agents can work through tasks with verification and dependencies.
Commands:
- `bd workflow list` - List available workflow templates
- `bd workflow show <name>` - Show template details and task graph
- `bd workflow create <name> --var key=value` - Instantiate workflow
- `bd workflow status <epic-id>` - Show workflow progress
- `bd workflow verify <task-id>` - Run verification command
Features:
- Variable substitution with {{var}} syntax
- Built-in variables: {{today}}, {{user}}
- Preflight checks before workflow creation
- Hierarchical task IDs under epic (bd-xxx.1, bd-xxx.2)
- Dependency graph between tasks
- Verification commands embedded in task descriptions
Includes built-in `version-bump` template with 21 tasks covering:
- All 10+ version files
- check-versions.sh verification
- Git commit, tag, push
- CI monitoring (goreleaser, npm, pypi, homebrew)
- Local machine upgrades
- Final verification

- IsExpired(): Negative TTL means immediately expired (for --hard mode)
- IsExpired(): ClockSkewGrace only added for TTLs > 1 hour
- bd cleanup --hard: Use negative TTL to prune freshly created tombstones
- bd delete --hard: New flag to immediately prune tombstones from JSONL
- Import: Add early tombstone check before all phases to prevent resurrection
The early tombstone check prevents ghost issues from being created when
tombstones exist in the DB. However, a deeper git merge issue (bd-ncwo)
can still cause resurrection when remote's status:closed wins the merge.

ContentHash and SourceRepo were being exported to beads.jsonl even though
they are internal database fields. This caused JSONL pollution where every
issue got these extra fields, and re-exports would produce different output
than the original clean JSONL.
Changed JSON tags from `json:"...,omitempty"` to `json:"-"` for:
- ContentHash: Internal optimization field for content-based diffing
- SourceRepo: Internal metadata for multi-repo support
This fixes the ZFC resurrection bug where re-exports after import would
pollute the JSONL with internal fields.

For bd-307: Multi-repo hydration layer
Changes:
- Add MultiRepoConfig to internal/config
- Add GetMultiRepoConfig() to retrieve repos.primary and repos.additional
- Add source_repo field to Issue type to track ownership
- Prepare for hydration logic that reads from N repos
The JSON output from bd show now includes the dependency_type field
for both dependencies and dependents, enabling programmatic
differentiation between dependency types (blocks, related,
parent-child, discovered-from).
Implementation approach:
- Added IssueWithDependencyMetadata type with embedded Issue and
DependencyType field
- Extended GetDependenciesWithMetadata and GetDependentsWithMetadata
to include dependency type from SQL JOIN
- Made GetDependencies and GetDependents wrap the WithMetadata
methods for backward compatibility
- Added scanIssuesWithDependencyType helper to handle scanning with
dependency type field
- Updated bd show --json to use WithMetadata methods
Tests added:
- TestGetDependenciesWithMetadata - basic functionality
- TestGetDependentsWithMetadata - dependent retrieval
- TestGetDependenciesWithMetadataEmpty - edge case handling
- TestGetDependenciesWithMetadataMultipleTypes - multiple types

When using `bd list --json`, each issue now includes:
- `dependency_count`: Number of issues this issue depends on
- `dependent_count`: Number of issues that depend on this issue
This provides quick access to dependency relationship counts without
needing to fetch full dependency lists or run multiple bd show commands.
Performance:
- Uses single bulk query (GetDependencyCounts) instead of N individual queries
- Overhead: ~26% for 500 issues (24ms vs 19ms baseline)
- Avoids N+1 query problem that would have caused 2.2x slowdown
Implementation:
- Added GetDependencyCounts() to Storage interface for bulk counting
- Efficient SQLite query using UNION ALL + GROUP BY
- Memory storage implementation for testing
- Moved IssueWithCounts to types package to avoid duplication
- Both RPC and direct modes use optimized bulk query
Tests:
- Added comprehensive tests for GetDependencyCounts
- Tests cover: normal operation, empty list, nonexistent IDs
- All existing tests continue to pass
Backwards compatible: JSON structure is additive, all original fields preserved.

Add nullable external_ref TEXT field to link bd issues with external
systems like GitHub Issues, Jira, etc. Includes automatic schema
migration for backward compatibility.
Changes:
- Added external_ref column to issues table with feature-based migration
- Updated Issue struct with ExternalRef *string field
- Added --external-ref flag to bd create and bd update commands
- Updated all SQL queries across the codebase to include external_ref:

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
