{"id":"bd-imj","title":"Deletion propagation via deletions manifest","description":"## Problem\n\nWhen `bd cleanup -f` or `bd delete` removes issues in one clone, those deletions don't propagate to other clones. The import logic only creates/updates, never deletes. This causes \"resurrection\" where deleted issues reappear.\n\n## Root Cause\n\nImport sees DB issues not in JSONL and assumes they're \"local unpushed work\" rather than \"intentionally deleted upstream.\"\n\n## Solution: Deletions Manifest\n\nAdd `.beads/deletions.jsonl` - an append-only log of deleted issue IDs with metadata.\n\n### Format\n```jsonl\n{\"id\":\"bd-xxx\",\"ts\":\"2025-11-25T10:00:00Z\",\"by\":\"stevey\"}\n{\"id\":\"bd-yyy\",\"ts\":\"2025-11-25T10:05:00Z\",\"by\":\"claude\",\"reason\":\"duplicate of bd-zzz\"}\n```\n\n### Fields\n- `id`: Issue ID (required)\n- `ts`: ISO 8601 UTC timestamp (required)\n- `by`: Actor who deleted (required)\n- `reason`: Optional context (\"cleanup\", \"duplicate of X\", etc.)\n\n### Import Logic\n```\nFor each DB issue not in JSONL:\n 1. Check deletions manifest → if found, delete from DB\n 2. Fallback: check git history → if found, delete + backfill manifest\n 3. Neither → keep (local unpushed work)\n```\n\n### Conflict Resolution\nSimultaneous deletions from multiple clones are handled naturally:\n- Append-only design means both clones append their deletion records\n- On merge, file contains duplicate entries (same ID, different timestamps)\n- `LoadDeletions` deduplicates by ID (keeps any/first entry)\n- Result: deletion propagates correctly, duplicates are harmless\n\n### Pruning Policy\n- Default retention: 7 days (configurable via `deletions.retention_days`)\n- Auto-compact during `bd sync` is **opt-in** (disabled by default)\n- Hard cap: `deletions.max_entries` (default 50000)\n- Git fallback handles pruned entries (self-healing)\n\n### Self-Healing\nWhen git fallback catches a resurrection (pruned entry), it backfills the manifest. One-time git scan cost, then fast again.\n\n### Size Estimates\n- ~80 bytes/entry\n- 7-day retention with 100 deletions/day = ~56KB\n- Git compressed: ~10KB\n\n## Benefits\n- ✅ Deletions propagate across clones\n- ✅ O(1) lookup (no git scan in normal case)\n- ✅ Works in shallow clones\n- ✅ Survives history rewrite\n- ✅ Audit trail (who deleted what when)\n- ✅ Self-healing via git fallback\n- ✅ Bounded size via time-based pruning\n\n## References\n- Investigation session: 2025-11-25\n- Related: bd-2q6d (stale database warnings)","status":"closed","priority":0,"issue_type":"epic","created_at":"2025-11-25T09:56:01.98027-08:00","updated_at":"2025-11-25T16:36:27.965168-08:00","closed_at":"2025-11-25T16:36:27.965168-08:00","dependencies":[{"issue_id":"bd-imj","depends_on_id":"bd-qsm","type":"blocks","created_at":"2025-11-25T09:57:42.821911-08:00","created_by":"daemon"},{"issue_id":"bd-imj","depends_on_id":"bd-x2i","type":"blocks","created_at":"2025-11-25T09:57:42.851712-08:00","created_by":"daemon"},{"issue_id":"bd-imj","depends_on_id":"bd-44e","type":"blocks","created_at":"2025-11-25T09:57:42.88154-08:00","created_by":"daemon"},{"issue_id":"bd-imj","depends_on_id":"bd-bhd","type":"blocks","created_at":"2025-11-25T14:56:23.675787-08:00","created_by":"daemon"},{"issue_id":"bd-imj","depends_on_id":"bd-bgs","type":"blocks","created_at":"2025-11-25T14:56:23.744648-08:00","created_by":"daemon"},{"issue_id":"bd-imj","depends_on_id":"bd-f0n","type":"blocks","created_at":"2025-11-25T14:56:23.80649-08:00","created_by":"daemon"},{"issue_id":"bd-imj","depends_on_id":"bd-v29","type":"blocks","created_at":"2025-11-25T14:56:23.864569-08:00","created_by":"daemon"},{"issue_id":"bd-imj","depends_on_id":"bd-mdw","type":"blocks","created_at":"2025-11-25T14:56:48.592492-08:00","created_by":"daemon"},{"issue_id":"bd-imj","depends_on_id":"bd-03r","type":"blocks","created_at":"2025-11-25T14:56:54.295851-08:00","created_by":"daemon"}]}
