Keep completed removal evidence when later validation fails. Make prune audit and non-Windows removal-parent sync unconditional instead of inheriting default-off capture fsync. Preserve capture policy. Add real filesystem partial-failure/retry regression and document remaining unlink-to-result crash window.

Repo-Specific Agent Defaults
This repository has legacy historical issue IDs mixed with current
coding_agent_session_search-* IDs. To keep agent workflows stable:
- Start triage with
bv --robot-triageorbv --robot-next. - Use
br ready --jsonto confirm actionable work. - Prefer explicit stale-safe flags on
brcommands in multi-agent sessions.
Workspace config (.beads/config.yaml) sets:
issue_prefix: coding_agent_session_searchallow_legacy_ids: trueno-auto-import: true
Runtime note: even with no-auto-import: true, some br invocations can still
hit prefix-mismatch checks in this mixed-ID workspace. Use explicit flags for
reliable operation:
br ready --json --no-auto-import --allow-stalebr show <id> --json --no-auto-import --allow-stalebr list --status=open --json --no-auto-import --allow-stale
This preserves access to legacy records while avoiding auto-import validation paths that can fail in shared sessions.
