For engineering: mark linked issues done on PR merge

Engineers merge pull requests but linked issues stay open, causing backlog drift. Linked issues mark Done after merges, so product and engineering avoid manual post-release status updates.

For engineering: mark linked issues done on PR merge

Overview

Open issues left after merges create backlog drift and make releases harder to validate. This workflow moves linked issues to Done when pull requests merge, keeping the backlog aligned with shipped work and eliminating manual post-release updates. Engineering and product can trust the board reflects what shipped and focus on the next priorities.

Notable Features

  • Detect merged pull requests
  • Extract linked issue identifiers
  • Update issue statuses to Done
