When daemon fails to start due to legacy database or fingerprint validation,
the error was only logged to daemon.log. Users saw "Daemon took too long"
with no hint about the actual problem.
Changes:
- Write validation errors to .beads/daemon-error file before daemon exits
- Check for daemon-error file in autostart and display contents on timeout
- Elevate legacy database check in bd doctor from warning to error
Now when daemon fails due to legacy database, users see:
"LEGACY DATABASE DETECTED!
...
Run 'bd migrate --update-repo-id' to add fingerprint"
Instead of just "Daemon took too long to start".

Extended bd-tvus fix to all doctor check functions that access .beads/
directory. In Gas Town multi-clone setups, crew/polecat clones use
.beads/redirect files to point to the shared mayor/rig beads directory.
Doctor checks now use resolveBeadsDir() to follow these redirects:
- daemon.go: CheckDaemonStatus
- git.go: CheckSyncBranchConfig, FindOrphanedIssues, CheckOrphanedIssues
- installation.go: CheckMultipleDatabases, CheckPermissions
- integrity.go: CheckIDFormat, CheckDependencyCycles, CheckTombstones,
CheckDeletionsManifest, CheckRepoFingerprint
- jsonl_integrity.go: CheckJSONLIntegrity
- legacy.go: CheckFreshClone
- maintenance.go: CheckStaleClosedIssues, CheckExpiredTombstones,
CheckCompactionCandidates
- perf.go: RunPerformanceDiagnostics, CollectPlatformInfo
- validation.go: CheckMergeArtifacts, CheckOrphanedDependencies,
CheckDuplicateIssues, CheckTestPollution, CheckChildParentDependencies,
CheckGitConflicts
- version.go: CheckMetadataVersionTracking
Intentionally NOT changed (check local files):
- CheckInstallation: checks local .beads/ exists
- CheckUntrackedBeadsFiles: checks git tracking of local files

Analysis found these commands are dead code:
- gt never calls `bd pin` - uses `bd update --status=pinned` instead
- Beads.Pin() wrapper exists but is never called
- bd hook functionality duplicated by gt mol status
- Code comment says "pinned field is cosmetic for bd hook visibility"
Removed:
- cmd/bd/pin.go
- cmd/bd/unpin.go
- cmd/bd/hook.go

* fix(doctor): UX improvements for diagnostics and daemon
- Add Repo Fingerprint check to detect when database belongs to a
different repository (copied .beads dir or git remote URL change)
- Add interactive fix for repo fingerprint with options: update repo ID,
reinitialize database, or skip
- Add visible warning when daemon takes >5s to start, recommending
'bd doctor' for diagnosis
- Detect install method (Homebrew vs script) and show only relevant
upgrade command
- Improve WARNINGS section:
- Add icons (⚠ or ✖) next to each item
- Color numbers by severity (yellow for warnings, red for errors)
- Render entire error lines in red
- Sort by severity (errors first)
- Fix alignment with checkmarks above
- Use heavier fail icon (✖) for better visibility
- Add integration and validation tests for doctor fixes
* fix(lint): address errcheck and gosec warnings
- mol_bond.go: explicitly ignore ephStore.Close() error
- beads.go: add nosec for .gitignore file permissions (0644 is standard)
* refactor(doctor): split doctor.go into modular package files
Split the 3,171-line doctor.go into logical sub-files within the
cmd/bd/doctor/ package, reducing the main file to 834 lines (74% reduction).
New package structure:
- types.go: DoctorCheck struct and status constants
- installation.go: CheckInstallation, CheckMultipleDatabases, CheckPermissions
- git.go: CheckGitHooks, CheckMergeDriver, CheckSyncBranch* checks
- database.go: CheckDatabaseVersion, CheckSchemaCompatibility, CheckDatabaseJSONLSync
- version.go: CheckCLIVersion, CheckMetadataVersionTracking, CompareVersions
- integrity.go: CheckIDFormat, CheckDependencyCycles, CheckTombstones
- daemon.go: CheckDaemonStatus, CheckVersionMismatch
- quick.go: Quick checks for sync-branch and hooks
Updated tests to use exported doctor.CheckXxx() functions and
doctor.StatusXxx constants.
* fix(doctor): suppress gosec G204 false positives
Add #nosec G204 comments to exec.Command calls in CheckSyncBranchHealth
where variables come from trusted sources (config files or hardcoded
values like "main"/"master"/"origin"), not untrusted user input.
