Add new exported functions to src/github.ts that wrap
`gh issue edit --add-assignee` with the existing retry/backoff
infrastructure:
- assignGithubIssueAsync: async variant with rate-limit retry/backoff
(configurable retries, default 3). Returns { ok, error? } without
throwing on failure.
- assignGithubIssue: sync variant using runGhDetailed. Returns
{ ok, error? } without throwing on failure.
- AssignGithubIssueResult interface exported for consumers.
Includes 11 unit tests covering success, failure, retry on rate-limit/403,
max retry exhaustion, and command construction verification.
…ent delegate subcommand with guard rails, push/assign flow, and output formatting - Register `wl github delegate <id>` subcommand with --force, --json, --prefix options - Implement do-not-delegate tag guard rail with --force bypass - Implement children warning with TTY prompt; non-interactive mode proceeds silently - Wire push (upsertIssuesFromWorkItems) + assign (assignGithubIssueAsync) + local state update - On assignment failure: skip local state update, add comment, re-push for consistency - Support both human-readable progress output and structured --json output - Add 13 unit tests covering guard rails, success/failure paths, and output formatting
The delegate command was passing 'copilot' to gh issue edit --add-assignee, but GitHub requires '@copilot' for Copilot assignment. Updated the assignee argument, error messages, console output, and all related tests.
…ul delegation On successful delegation, the local state update now includes stage='in_progress' alongside status='in-progress' and assignee='@github-copilot'. A re-push is performed after the local update so the GitHub issue immediately reflects the updated wl:status:in-progress and wl:stage:in_progress labels.
…dated." to failure output and first-push test - Fix AC #2: failure message now includes "Local state was not updated." to clearly indicate local state was preserved on assignment failure - Add test verifying failure output contains the phrase - Add test for first-push path (no githubIssueNumber) that creates the GitHub issue before assigning to @copilot - All 1174 tests pass across 92 test files
