Workflow Common GitHub Extension

Use only when GitHub integration is enabled and available.

Versioned Domain Pack v1.0.0

Reusable GitHub integration bundle extracted from the v8 workflow-common-github skill.

• GitHub is optional and must never fail the core workflow when unavailable.
• Require both gh auth status success and a valid git remote.
• Prefer idempotent updates (comment/edit) over duplicate issue or PR creation.
• Mirror every GitHub write back into .planning/STATE.md during the same invocation.
• Leave read-only GitHub operations side-effect free.

Rules

• Treat GitHub as optional integration; never fail core workflow if unavailable.
• Require both: gh auth status success and a valid git remote.
• Prefer idempotent updates (comment/edit) over duplicate issue creation.

Local state mirror trigger (concrete — no "when relevant")

After any GitHub WRITE operation, mirror the result into .planning/STATE.md under the ## GitHub section within the same command invocation. Write operations that trigger the mirror:

• Create issue, update issue body/title, close/reopen issue, comment on issue
• Create PR, update PR body/title, merge PR, close PR
• Create milestone, close milestone, assign issue/PR to milestone
• Apply or remove the legion label on any issue/PR

Read-only operations (gh issue view, gh pr list, gh api GETs) MUST NOT trigger a state-file update.

Mirror contract:

1. After the GitHub write succeeds, read .planning/STATE.md
2. Update the ## GitHub section fields relevant to the write (issue number, PR URL, status, last-synced timestamp in ISO 8601 UTC)
3. Write .planning/STATE.md before the command returns
4. If the mirror write fails, emit a WARN log — do NOT retry the GitHub write, and do NOT fail the command
