Chris Sells d2f87d50de docs(pipeline): pin the CLI docs to the released bd; repair main's broken CLI reference (#4876)
* docs(pipeline): pin the generated CLI docs to the released bd; repair main's CLI reference

The #4874 squash-merge raced the docs-autofix bot: the bot had pushed a
regeneration from main's source onto the PR branch, so the squash landed a
contradictory mix — the release-aligned hand-written docs plus a CLI
reference re-documenting unreleased commands and flags, with docs.json
referencing four pages (heartbeat, migrate-personal, reclaim, unclaim)
whose files do not exist. That broken nav fails the docsync guard on main
and on every branch cut from it. This restores the intended end state of
#4874 and lands the pin that prevents the race from recurring.

- Regenerate the CLI reference from a bd built from the v1.1.0 tag (CI's
  canonical pure-Go build), removing the unreleased commands/flags and
  fixing the dangling nav entries.
- docs/cli-docs.pin names the release tag; scripts/resolve-docs-bd.sh
  builds and caches a canonical pure-Go bd from that tag, fetching the tag
  first in shallow CI checkouts.
- generate-cli-docs.sh, check-doc-flags.sh, and check-cli-docs-drift.sh
  resolve bd through the pin and ignore a supplied binary while pinned
  (BD_DOCS_IGNORE_PIN=1 bypasses), so the drift gates and the autofix bot
  now enforce docs-match-release instead of docs-match-main.
- tools/docsmint detects the pre-overhaul Docusaurus staging layout that
  bd <= v1.1.0 emits and converts it to the generic form before its normal
  Mintlify transform (tested); removable once the pin reaches a release
  whose emitter writes build/cli-docs.
- check-doc-flags.sh: run without timeout(1) on macOS instead of failing
  Check 4.
- Decision record: engdocs/decisions/2026-07-17-docs-release-pin.md; the
  beads-docs skill §8 updated to match.

* lint: annotate gosec G705 false positive in the docsmint legacy bridge

Same class as the existing nav-splice annotation: a developer tool writing

title: "bd batch"
description: "Run multiple write operations in a single database transaction."
---
{/* AUTO-GENERATED: do not edit manually */}
Generated from `bd help --doc batch`.
Run multiple write operations in a single database transaction.
Commands are read from stdin (one per line) or from a file via -f/--file.
All operations execute inside a single dolt transaction: on any error the
whole batch is rolled back, otherwise it is committed with one DOLT_COMMIT.
This is intended for shell scripts that currently invoke 'bd' many times in
a loop, which causes severe write amplification on a dolt sql-server backed
by btrfs+compression. Batching collapses N invocations into one transaction
and one dolt commit.
Grammar (one command per line):
close &lt;id&gt; [reason...]
update &lt;id&gt; &lt;key&gt;=&lt;value&gt; [&lt;key&gt;=&lt;value&gt; ...]
create &lt;type&gt; &lt;priority&gt; &lt;title...&gt;
dep add &lt;from-id&gt; &lt;to-id&gt; [type]
dep remove &lt;from-id&gt; &lt;to-id&gt;
#comment (blank lines and '# ...' comments are ignored)
Supported 'update' keys: status, priority, title, assignee
Supported dependency types: see 'bd dep add --help' (default: blocks)
Tokens are whitespace-separated. Double-quoted strings ("like this") may
contain spaces; use \" to embed a quote and \\ for a backslash.
Examples:
# From a pipe
bd list --status stale -q | awk '&#123;print "close",$1," stale"&#125;' | bd batch
# From a file
bd batch -f operations.txt
# Inline
printf 'close bd-1 done\nupdate bd-2 status=in_progress\n' | bd batch
On success, exits 0 and prints a summary (or JSON with --json). On any error,
rolls back the entire transaction and exits non-zero with the failing line.
NOTE: This is a narrow subset. Commands like 'show', 'list', 'ready', 'sync',
complex create flows, or any flag not listed above are NOT accepted. Use
normal 'bd' subcommands for interactive/read operations.
```
bd batch [flags]
```
**Flags:**
```
--dry-run Parse input and echo commands without executing
-f, --file string Read commands from file instead of stdin
-m, --message string DOLT_COMMIT message (default: 'bd: batch N ops by <actor>')
```
