.claude: add SessionStart hook to install bd and bootstrap beads
Installs bd (beads issue tracker) via go install and bootstraps the
embedded Dolt database from the git-tracked issues.jsonl on each fresh
web session, where the embeddeddolt/ directory is absent.

Bootstrap sequence:
  1. go install github.com/steveyegge/beads/cmd/bd@latest (if absent)
  2. Temporarily point sync.remote to the HTTP git origin so bootstrap
     can create the embedded Dolt schema (Dolt wire-protocol clone fails
     over HTTP/1.1 but that is expected and handled)
  3. Restore .beads/config.yaml and .beads/issues.jsonl from git before
     any bd auto-export can overwrite them
  4. bd config set issue_prefix ifcurl triggers auto-import of the full
     issues.jsonl into the initialised but empty database

Also adds bd to PATH via CLAUDE_ENV_FILE and sets beads.role=contributor
to suppress the role-not-configured warning.
