I'm good to merge this, as well, after #122 lands. I've been testing it locally and it looks good. 🚀 🚀 🚀
Teach the id resolver to consult the registry when a prefix doesn't belong to the current repo: - ec-42 in repo with prefix "bw" resolves to the repo registered under prefix "ec", as long as the prefix is unambiguous - Ambiguous prefixes (multiple repos claim it) produce a clear error pointing at both paths - -C now accepts either a path or a registered prefix/alias, so `bw -C ec list` works from anywhere
Let users rename a repo's prefix without losing history or breaking cross-repo references: - Open issues are renamed in place (filenames + content updated) - Closed issues keep their original IDs so git history stays intact - The old prefix is recorded as an alias in .bwconfig, so cross-repo lookups for old IDs continue to resolve - Aliases are skipped when another repo has since claimed the old prefix, avoiding ambiguity errors on rename
Staticcheck flags containsStr, contains (treefs_test.go) and isPrefixCandidate (cross_repo.go) as U1000. The treefs helpers were orphaned when "Record unblocked events" swapped to errors.Is. The prefix-candidate check is no longer called from the -C path after the registry-backed resolver landed.
It never modifies the global config — the two-value return was unnecessary ceremony from the rebase.
config set prefix is now a plain SetConfig like any other key — no issue renaming, no alias bookkeeping, no collision detection for aliases. Removes config_prefix.go, Aliases/SetAliases from repo, and alias support from the registry and cross-repo resolver.

Cross-repo issue resolution via registry prefix lookup.
bw show r0-abcfrom any repo resolvesr0to the registered repo and opens that store.-Caccepts a prefix as shorthand for the full path.bw config set prefixtracks old prefixes as aliases so cross-repo refs survive renames. Prefixes are resolved live from each repo's.bwconfig, not cached in the registry.
