Issue Scope Management
System of record: .cortex/dynamic-skills/issue-scope-management.md and .cortex/workflows/issues.md.
Read .cortex/AGENTS.md before starting. Before
saying work is too big, risky, blocked, out of scope, or follow-up, search
existing GitHub issues, inspect likely matches, update or create the aggregate
issue, create or attach focused sub-issues, preserve existing assignees/labels/
milestones/comments, validate the hierarchy with gh issue view, and mention
the issue numbers in the handoff.
