Walkthrough

The PR refines the GitHub Actions workflow that links pull requests to issues. The cleanup section now uses pagination to locate stale marker comments for deletion. The process section removes PR_TITLE from the environment, computes a STATUS value from PR state, expands the marker comment body with additional metadata and timestamps, adjusts the update/create branching logic, and removes debug output while preserving the non-failing exit behavior.

Changes

PR-to-issue linker workflow refinements

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Input validation and marker definition .github/workflows/link-pr-to-issue.yml	PR title and body extraction lines are re-anchored for downstream steps; marker constant is defined to identify linker-managed comments.
Cleanup stale issue links pagination .github/workflows/link-pr-to-issue.yml	Pagination loop iterates through issue comments to locate the first comment containing the marker when an issue no longer appears in the PR body, preparing it for deletion.
Process issue links environment and status .github/workflows/link-pr-to-issue.yml	Step environment is simplified to include only GH_TOKEN and PR_URL (removing PR_TITLE); STATUS string is computed from PR action and merge state for inclusion in the marker comment.
Comment body construction and update/create logic .github/workflows/link-pr-to-issue.yml	Marker comment body is expanded to include PR, source, status, and "Updated" UTC timestamp fields with consistent marker placement; update and create branches are adjusted around the "comment found" vs "not found" control flow.
Output and error handling simplification .github/workflows/link-pr-to-issue.yml	Debug output from create response bodies is removed; explicit inline "DO NOT fail workflow" comment is removed while preserving the terminal exit 0 behavior.

Poem

🐰 A rabbit's hop through workflows fine,
Comments cleaned and states align,
Timestamps mark the present hour,
PR links now have greater power,
Stale markers fade, new status shines! ✨

Inline comments:
In @.github/workflows/link-pr-to-issue.yml:
- Around line 238-245: The BODY_TEXT variable contains list lines prefixed with
~12 spaces which will render as a code block in GitHub Markdown; update the
BODY_TEXT string (the lines with "- PR: ${PR_URL}", "- Source: ${SOURCE_REPO}",
"- Status: ${STATUS}", "- Updated: $(date ...)", and "${MARKER}") to remove
leading indentation so each bullet starts at column 0 (or use no leading spaces)
to ensure the list renders as Markdown bullets rather than a fenced code block.
