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
repo Markdown, not a web-output sink.

bd flatten Nuclear option: squash ALL Dolt commit history into a single commit.

{/* AUTO-GENERATED: do not edit manually */}

Generated from bd help --doc flatten.

Nuclear option: squash ALL Dolt commit history into a single commit.

This uses the Tim Sehn recipe:

  1. Create a new branch from the current state
  2. Soft-reset to the initial commit (preserving all data)
  3. Commit everything as a single snapshot
  4. Swap main branch to the new flattened branch
  5. Run Dolt GC to reclaim space from old history

This is irreversible — all commit history is lost. The resulting database has exactly one commit containing all current data.

Use this when:

  • Your .beads/dolt directory has grown very large
  • You don't need commit-level history (time travel)
  • You want to start fresh with minimal storage

Examples: bd flatten --dry-run # Preview: show commit count and disk usage bd flatten --force # Actually squash all history bd flatten --force --json # JSON output

bd flatten [flags]

Flags:

      --dry-run   Preview without making changes
  -f, --force     Confirm irreversible history squash
