Pull request overview
Adds an optional suggest boolean flag to the granular update_issue_type tool so callers can request a “proposal-only” response instead of applying the change to GitHub. This fits into the issues_granular toolset by enabling safer, user-confirmable workflows for issue classification changes.
Changes:
- Extend
update_issue_typeinput schema with asuggestboolean flag. - Implement “suggest-only” execution path that returns a JSON payload describing the proposed change (and optional trimmed rationale) without calling the GitHub API.
- Add unit tests for the suggest behavior and update the tool schema snapshot.
