BUG: BD_ACTOR env var was only read in --no-db mode (lines 352-360)

paths fell back to $USER without checking BD_ACTOR.
Fix: Add explicit os.Getenv("BD_ACTOR") check in both:

- Normal direct mode path (lines 440-450)

The bug: In a bare repo + worktrees setup, jsonlRelPath was calculated
relative to the project root (containing all worktrees), resulting in
paths like "main/.beads/issues.jsonl". But the sync branch worktree uses
sparse checkout for .beads/*, so files are at ".beads/issues.jsonl".
This caused SyncJSONLToWorktreeWithOptions to write to the wrong location
(e.g., worktree/main/.beads/ instead of worktree/.beads/), so changes
made locally never reached the sync branch worktree.
#785 fixed the reverse direction (worktree → local) by adding
normalizeBeadsRelPath(), but the local → worktree direction was missed.
Fix:
- Export NormalizeBeadsRelPath() (uppercase) for cross-package use
- Apply normalization in SyncJSONLToWorktreeWithOptions for dstPath
- Apply normalization in daemon_sync_branch.go for worktreeJSONLPath
in both commit and pull paths
- Add unit tests for the normalization function

Add SQLite read-only mode for commands that only query data (list, ready,
show, stats, blocked, count, search, graph, duplicates, comments, export).
Changes:
- Add NewReadOnly() and NewReadOnlyWithTimeout() to sqlite package
- Opens with mode=ro to prevent any file writes
- Skips WAL pragma, schema init, and migrations
- Skips WAL checkpoint on Close()
- Update main.go to detect read-only commands and use appropriate opener
- Skip auto-migrate, FlushManager, and auto-import for read-only commands
- Add tests verifying file mtime is unchanged after read operations
This fixes the issue where file watchers (like beads-ui) would go into
infinite loops because bd list/show/ready modified the database file.

Two issues fixed:
1. `bd init` was auto-detecting current branch (e.g., main) as sync.branch
when no --branch flag was specified. This caused worktree conflicts.
2. Added validation to reject main/master as sync.branch values.
When sync.branch is set to main, the worktree mechanism creates a checkout
of main at .git/beads-worktrees/main/, which prevents git checkout main
from working in the user's working directory.
The sync branch feature should use a dedicated branch like 'beads-sync'.

This addresses the code smell of 20+ global variables in main.go by:
1. Creating CommandContext struct in context.go that groups all runtime state:
- Configuration (DBPath, Actor, JSONOutput, etc.)
- Runtime state (Store, DaemonClient, HookRunner, etc.)
- Auto-flush/import state
- Version tracking
- Profiling handles
2. Adding accessor functions (getStore, getActor, getDaemonClient, etc.)
that provide backward-compatible access to the state while allowing
gradual migration to CommandContext.
3. Updating direct_mode.go to demonstrate the migration pattern using
accessor functions instead of direct global access.
4. Adding test isolation helpers (ensureCleanGlobalState, enableTestModeGlobals)
to prevent test interference when multiple tests manipulate global state.
Benefits:
- Reduces global count from 20+ to 1 (cmdCtx)
- Better testability (can inject mock contexts)
- Clearer state ownership (all state in one place)
- Thread safety (mutexes grouped with the data they protect)
Note: Two pre-existing test failures (TestTrackBdVersion_*) are unrelated to
this change and fail both with and without these modifications.

Adds TypeEvent issue type for recording operational state changes as
immutable beads. Events capture:
- event_category: namespaced category (e.g., patrol.muted, agent.started)
- event_actor: entity URI who caused the event
- event_target: entity URI or bead ID affected
- event_payload: event-specific JSON data

- Add event fields to Issue struct with ComputeContentHash support
- Add --event-category/actor/target/payload flags to bd create
- Add event fields to RPC CreateArgs and UpdateArgs
- Add migration 033_event_fields to add columns to issues table

The test was previously skipped because it called importFromJSONL which spawns
a subprocess. During tests, os.Executable() returns the test binary rather
than the bd binary, causing the subprocess to fail.
Changes:

- Parse JSONL directly using encoding/json instead of subprocess
- Call importIssuesCore directly instead of importFromJSONL
- Update DB count expectation to reflect actual import behavior (additive)
The core ZFC fix behavior is preserved: when divergence is detected,
import runs and export is skipped to protect the JSONL source of truth.

Add comprehensive database corruption recovery capabilities to bd doctor.
## Changes
### New Command Flags
- --force: Force repair mode that bypasses database validation
- --source: Choose source of truth (auto/jsonl/db) for recovery
### Enhanced Error Classification
Improved CheckDatabaseIntegrity() to detect and classify:
- Database locked errors (suggests killing processes, removing locks)
- Invalid SQLite files (suggests JSONL recovery with exact commands)
- Migration/validation failures (orphaned dependencies, etc.)
- Generic database errors (context-aware suggestions)
Each error type provides:
- Specific diagnosis
- Step-by-step recovery instructions
- Appropriate command examples with new flags
### Force Recovery Implementation
New DatabaseCorruptionRecoveryWithOptions() function:
- Bypasses database validation when --force is used
- Supports explicit source of truth selection
- Auto-detects best recovery path when source=auto
- Comprehensive rollback on failure
- Uses --force --no-git-history in import during force mode
### Integration
Updated fix orchestration to pass force and source flags to recovery.
## Usage Examples
```bash
# Unopenable database with validation errors
bd doctor --fix --force --source=jsonl
# Choose specific source of truth
bd doctor --fix --source=jsonl # Trust JSONL
bd doctor --fix --source=db # Trust database
bd doctor --fix --source=auto # Auto-detect (default)
# Force recovery with auto-detection
bd doctor --fix --force
```
## Problem Solved
Before: When database had validation errors (orphaned dependencies,
foreign key violations), all bd commands failed in a catch-22 situation.
Could not open database to fix database. Users had to manually delete
database files and reinit.
After: bd doctor --fix --force detects unopenable databases, provides
clear recovery steps, and forces rebuild from JSONL even when database
validation fails.
## Backward Compatibility
- All new flags are optional with safe defaults
- --source defaults to 'auto' (existing behavior)
- --force is opt-in only
- Existing bd doctor behavior unchanged when flags not used
- DatabaseCorruptionRecovery() still exists for compatibility

The --cascade flag was documented but not working for single-issue
deletes. The bug had two causes:
1. CLI direct mode: Single-issue deletes bypassed the batch path where
cascade expansion actually happens. Fixed by routing cascade deletes
through deleteBatch() regardless of issue count.
2. Daemon/RPC mode: handleDelete() iterated through IDs individually
without expanding dependents. Fixed by using DeleteIssues() with
cascade flag when SQLite storage is available.
Now `bd delete <id> --cascade --force` correctly deletes the target
issue plus all issues that depend on it (recursively).

Fix: Remove core.hooksPath check from CheckSyncBranchHookCompatibility
to match CheckGitHooks behavior. Both now consistently use .git/hooks/.
Note: A future improvement could make both respect core.hooksPath.
The negation patterns (!issues.jsonl, !interactions.jsonl, etc.) in
.beads/.gitignore had higher precedence than the fork protection
exclusion in .git/info/exclude, effectively defeating fork protection.
Contributors could accidentally stage and commit upstream issue
databases because:
1. Fork protection added .beads/issues.jsonl to .git/info/exclude
2. .beads/.gitignore had !issues.jsonl which overrode the exclusion
3. .gitignore files have higher precedence than .git/info/exclude
The negation patterns were unnecessary anyway since no pattern in
.beads/.gitignore matches those files. Added a comment explaining
why negations should not be added.
