I've created an automated script to create all 5 GitHub issues. Due to authentication limitations, I cannot create issues directly via the GitHub API.

To create the issues, run:

# Authenticate once
gh auth login

# Run the script  
./create_issues.sh

The script will create all 5 issues with proper labels and complete specifications.

Files added in commit 5ebcd66:

• create_issues.sh - Automated issue creation script
• CREATE_ISSUES_README.md - Setup instructions and troubleshooting

Alternative: See NEXT_RELEASE_ISSUES.md for manual creation via GitHub web UI.

All 5 issues are fully specified with accurate metrics, acceptance criteria, and implementation guidance.
