Update activation comment when PR creation fails and issue is created

[Copilot]

When create-pull-request falls back to creating an issue (on push or PR creation failure), the activation comment was not being updated with the issue link, unlike successful PR creation.

Changes

• update_activation_comment.cjs: Added optional itemType parameter ("pull_request" | "issue") to support both item types. Defaults to "pull_request" for backward compatibility.

• create_pull_request.cjs: Added updateActivationComment() calls in both fallback scenarios:

  • Push failure fallback (line 451)
  • PR creation failure fallback (line 585)

• update_activation_comment.test.cjs: Added tests for issue link updates via REST API and GraphQL.

Example

// Now works for both scenarios
await updateActivationComment(github, context, core, pr.html_url, pr.number); // PR
await updateActivationComment(github, context, core, issue.html_url, issue.number, "issue"); // Issue

Original prompt

When using the create-pull-request action, if it fails and an issue is created instead, we should update any comment made during the activation phase to reference the newly created issue—just like we do when a pull request is created successfully.
