matt wilkie e01b7412d9 feat: add Git worktree compatibility (PR #478)
Adds comprehensive Git worktree support for beads issue tracking:

Core changes:
- New internal/git/gitdir.go package for worktree detection
- GetGitDir() returns proper .git location (main repo, not worktree)
- Updated all hooks to use git.GetGitDir() instead of local helper
- BeadsDir() now prioritizes main repository's .beads directory

Features:
- Hooks auto-install in main repo when run from worktree
- Shared .beads directory across all worktrees
- Config option no-install-hooks to disable auto-install
- New bd worktree subcommand for diagnostics

Documentation:
- New docs/WORKTREES.md with setup instructions
- Updated CHANGELOG.md and AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md

Testing:
- Updated tests to use exported git.GetGitDir()
- Added worktree detection tests

Initialize beads in the current project
prefix

Initialize beads issue tracking in the current directory.

If a prefix is provided as $1, use it as the issue prefix (e.g., "myproject" creates issues like myproject-1, myproject-2). If not provided, the default is the current directory name.

Use the beads MCP init tool with the prefix parameter (if provided) to set up a new beads database.

After initialization:

  1. Show the database location
  2. Show the issue prefix that will be used
  3. Explain the basic workflow (or suggest running /bd-workflow)
  4. Suggest creating the first issue with /bd-create

If beads is already initialized, inform the user and show project stats using the stats tool.
