Feature: Issue workflow (Forest note -> GitHub issue) #19

@bwl

Description

@bwl

Use case

  • Capture a bug/feature once in Forest, then optionally promote to a GitHub issue.
  • Keep a durable knowledge record (repro/context/links) even if issue trackers change.

Current workaround

  • Manually run forest capture with a template, then gh issue create.
  • External skills/personas (like JACK) glue this together.

Proposal

  • Add: forest issue bug and forest issue feature (interactive prompts).
  • Flow:
    1. Prompt for required fields (bug: symptom/repro/expected/actual/context; feature: use case/workaround/proposal)
    2. Create a Forest note tagged project/forest + bug/* or feature/*
    3. Optionally create a GitHub issue via gh (repo/labels/title/body), including the Forest note short id
  • Flags:
    --repo, --label, --dry-run, --no-gh, --json

Acceptance criteria

  • One command produces both the Forest note and (optionally) the GitHub issue URL.
  • Works non-interactively when flags provide required fields.
