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 prune"
description: "Permanently delete closed non-ephemeral beads and their associated data."
---
{/* AUTO-GENERATED: do not edit manually */}
Generated from `bd help --doc prune`.
Permanently delete closed non-ephemeral beads and their associated data.
Use this to trim closed regular beads (tasks, features, bugs, chores, etc.)
that are no longer useful. The common case is a long-lived repo where
closed work has piled up and is bloating auto-export or slowing queries.
Requires --older-than or --pattern. The flag is a safety gate — without
it, a muscle-memory `--force` could wipe every closed bead in the repo.
Use `--pattern '*'` if you really do want to sweep everything closed.
Deletes: issues, dependencies, labels, events, and comments for matching beads.
Skips: pinned beads (protected), open/in-progress beads, and ephemeral beads.
To delete closed ephemeral beads (wisps, transient molecules) use
`bd purge` instead.
For full Dolt storage reclaim after deleting many rows, follow with `bd flatten`
so history can be collapsed and old chunks can be garbage-collected.
EXAMPLES:
bd prune --older-than 30d # Preview closed beads &gt;30d old
bd prune --older-than 30d --force # Delete them
bd prune --older-than 90d --dry-run # Detailed preview with stats
bd prune --pattern "*" --force # Delete all closed regular beads
bd prune --pattern "gm-temp-*" --force # Scope to a pattern
```
bd prune [flags]
```
**Flags:**
```
--dry-run Preview what would be pruned with stats
-f, --force Actually prune (without this, shows preview)
--older-than string Only prune beads closed more than N ago (e.g., 30d, 2w, 60)
--pattern string Only prune beads matching ID glob pattern (e.g., 'gm-old-*')
```
