Dean Giberson eb4b52dd6a gh2jsonl: Add hash-based ID generation support
Adds --id-mode flag to gh2jsonl.py with support for both sequential
and hash-based IDs, matching the algorithm in internal/storage/sqlite/ids.go.

New features:
- encode_base36() function for base36 encoding
- generate_hash_id() matching Go implementation (SHA256 + base36)
- --id-mode {sequential|hash} CLI flag (default: sequential)
- --hash-length {3,4,5,6,7,8} for configurable hash length (default: 6)

Hash IDs are deterministic and content-based, using title, description,
creator, and timestamp. Sequential mode remains the default for backward
compatibility.

Examples:
  python gh2jsonl.py --repo owner/repo --id-mode hash | bd import
  python gh2jsonl.py --file issues.json --id-mode hash --hash-length 4

Workflow Patterns

Quick Start

# Try the Python agent example
cd python-agent
python agent.py

# Try the bash agent example
cd bash-agent
./agent.sh

# Install git hooks
cd git-hooks
./install.sh

# REMOVED (bd-4c74): branch-merge demo - hash IDs eliminate collision resolution

Creating Your Own Agent

The basic agent workflow:

  1. Find ready work: bd ready --json --limit 1
  2. Claim the task: bd update <id> --status in_progress --json
  3. Do the work: Execute the task
  4. Discover new issues: bd create "Found bug" --json
  5. Link discoveries: bd dep add <new-id> <parent-id> --type discovered-from
  6. Complete the task: bd close <id> --reason "Done" --json

All commands support --json for easy parsing.
