## `FlowJobData` type

New exported interface for flow-injected fields (`__flowParentId`, `__flowParentIds`, `__parentId`, `__parentQueue`, `__childrenIds`). `Processor<T, R>` now intersects `T` with `FlowJobData` for automatic IntelliSense in Worker callbacks. ([#18](https://github.com/egeominotti/bunqueue/issues/18))

## CLI env var auth

CLI now reads `BQ_TOKEN` / `BUNQUEUE_TOKEN` environment variables as fallback when `--token` is not provided. Priority: `--token` flag > `BQ_TOKEN` > `BUNQUEUE_TOKEN`. ([#13](https://github.com/egeominotti/bunqueue/issues/13))

## Bugfixes

- **Repeat job updateData**: `updateData()` now propagates to the next repeat execution. Previously, calling `updateData()` on a completed repeated job silently failed because the job was removed from the index. A repeat chain now tracks successor job IDs so updates reach the next scheduled execution. ([#16](https://github.com/egeominotti/bunqueue/issues/16))
- **Worker event IntelliSense**: Worker now has typed `on()` and `once()` overloads for all 10 events (`ready`, `active`, `completed`, `failed`, `progress`, `stalled`, `drained`, `error`, `cancelled`, `closed`), providing full TypeScript autocomplete. ([#15](https://github.com/egeominotti/bunqueue/issues/15))

## Documentation

- Updated Worker guide with typed event reference table
- Updated Flow guide with `FlowJobData` type documentation
- Updated Queue guide with `updateData()` for repeatable jobs
- Updated CLI guide and env vars guide with `BQ_TOKEN` / `BUNQUEUE_TOKEN`
