Large IN clauses (100+ IDs) cause Dolt to perform full table scans even with primary key indexes, leading to 60-300s query times and 100% CPU. This was the root cause of bd list hanging. Applies the existing queryBatchSize=200 + doltBuildSQLInClause() pattern to 8 functions that were sending unbounded ID lists: - events.go: getCommentCountsInto, getCommentsForIDsInto - ephemeral_routing.go: batchWispExists (hottest path - called on every wisp partition) - queries.go: computeBlockedIDsForIssues, GetMoleculeProgress, GetMoleculeLastActivity - dependencies.go: FindNewlyUnblockedIssues - doctor/deep.go: molecule broken children check Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Review: Go code looks good, but .beads/backup/ changes must be reverted
Go changes - Good
The batching logic across all 8 query sites is correct and well-implemented:
- Properly uses the existing
doltBuildSQLInClause()helper andqueryBatchSizeconstant - Correct
rows.Close()handling inside loops (avoids defer-in-loop) GetMoleculeLastActivitycorrectly tracks max across batches
Minor nit: dependencies.go GetNewlyUnblockedByClose drops the blockedRows.Err() check that the original code had after the scan loop. Not critical but worth adding back for correctness.
.beads/backup/ changes - Must be removed
This PR includes changes to 7 files under .beads/backup/ that replace the project backup data with what appears to be your local test instance data:
backup_state.json: 2290 issues to 3dependencies.jsonl: 8122 entries to 2comments.jsonl: wiped entirelyconfig.jsonl: several key-value entries removed (architecture-overview, release-process, test-infra, user-preferences, sync.mode)events.jsonl,issues.jsonl,labels.jsonl: similarly truncated
This accounts for ~14,175 of the 14,371 deletions. These changes would destroy production backup data if merged.
Please revert all .beads/backup/ changes. The Go code itself is ready to merge once those are removed.

Large IN clauses (100+ IDs) cause Dolt to perform full table scans even when primary key indexes exist. With 700+ beads,
bd listwas taking 60-300s due to unbatched comment count, label, and event queries.Changes
