Enforce full GitHub issue metadata (labels, projects, milestones, assignees)

[lesaai]

Summary

Agents file issues with bare minimum metadata. Typically just filed-by:cc-mini and nothing else. No type label, no project, no milestone, no assignee, no relationships.

GitHub gives us labels, types, projects, milestones, assignees, and relationships. We should use all of them.

What needs to happen

1. Issue filing standard (Dev Guide update)

Every issue must include:

• filed-by:{harness} label
• Type label: bug, enhancement, product-idea, or documentation
• Priority label for bugs: priority:high or priority:low
• Component label if applicable

2. Standard labels across all repos

Create consistent labels: bug, enhancement, product-idea, documentation, filed-by:*, priority:high, priority:low

3. GitHub Projects

Org-level project board for cross-repo tracking. Columns: Backlog, Up Next, In Progress, Done.

4. Milestones

"Next Release" milestone in each active repo. Issues get assigned to it when targeted.

5. wip-release integration

• Warn if releasing with unresolved milestone bugs
• Auto-close milestone on release
• Include issue references in release notes
