Steve Yegge cd114b7bd5 feat: extract error handling helpers FatalError/WarnError (bd-s0z)
Create reusable error handling helpers to reduce boilerplate and
enforce consistency across the codebase:

- FatalError(format, args...): writes "Error: ..." to stderr and exits
- FatalErrorWithHint(message, hint): includes actionable suggestion
- WarnError(format, args...): writes "Warning: ..." to stderr

Prototyped in create.go to validate the approach - converted 13 error
patterns and 5 warning patterns. This reduces code from:

    fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Error: %v\n", err)
    os.Exit(1)

To simply:

    FatalError("%v", err)

Also fixed countIssuesInJSONLFile reference after earlier refactoring.

See docs/ERROR_HANDLING.md for the three-pattern guideline.

// FatalError writes an error message to stderr and exits with code 1.
// Use this for fatal errors that prevent the command from completing.
//
// Pattern A from ERROR_HANDLING.md:
// - User input validation failures
// - Critical preconditions not met
// - Unrecoverable system errors
//
// Example:
//
// if err := store.CreateIssue(ctx, issue, actor); err != nil {
// FatalError("%v", err)
// }
func FatalError(format string, args ...interface{}) {
fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Error: "+format+"\n", args...)
os.Exit(1)
}
// FatalErrorWithHint writes an error message with a hint to stderr and exits.
// Use this when you can provide an actionable suggestion to fix the error.
//
// Example:
//
// FatalErrorWithHint("database not found", "Run 'bd init' to create a database")
func FatalErrorWithHint(message, hint string) {
fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Error: %s\n", message)
fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Hint: %s\n", hint)
os.Exit(1)
}
// WarnError writes a warning message to stderr and returns.
// Use this for optional operations that enhance functionality but aren't required.
//
// Pattern B from ERROR_HANDLING.md:
// - Metadata operations
// - Cleanup operations
// - Auxiliary features (git hooks, merge drivers)
//
// Example:
//
// if err := createConfigYaml(beadsDir, false); err != nil {
// WarnError("failed to create config.yaml: %v", err)
// }
func WarnError(format string, args ...interface{}) {
fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Warning: "+format+"\n", args...)
