Message:

Retire the local beads database; the issues live in shaer-frontend

All 32 kept their prutfolio-src-* ids, so bd show prutfolio-src-7cz
still means the same issue from the other repository.

The reason this database drifted is worth recording next to the notice:
this repo has no core.hooksPath, so the hooks in .beads/hooks/ never ran.
The Dolt database is gitignored and the one tracked artefact,
.beads/issues.jsonl, is refreshed only by those hooks — it had fallen
four days and two issues behind before anyone looked.

core.hooksPath is deliberately left unset. Setting it now would make a
retired database export itself into git on every commit, which is the
opposite of retiring it.

Nothing enforces the retirement. A bd create here will still succeed
and still be lost, and the notice says so rather than implying a guard.
