Jira Transition

Procedure

1. Identify the ticket — from the argument, the current branch name (lane/<TICKET>-<slug>), or ask the user.
2. Check assignment with getJiraIssue — if the issue is unassigned, assign it to the current user:
   • Get the current user's account ID with atlassianUserInfo.
   • Call editJiraIssue to set the assignee to that account ID.
   • If the issue is already assigned (to anyone), leave it unchanged.
3. Use getTransitionsForJiraIssue to fetch available transitions for the ticket.
4. Find the transition that best matches the requested target status (case-insensitive, partial match is fine).
5. Call transitionJiraIssue with the matching transition ID.
6. Confirm the transition (and assignment, if changed) to the user.

If Jira MCP tools are unavailable, remind the user to move the ticket manually.
