feat(issue): add --description option to lc issue update - #141
Merged
Conversation
Adds `lc issue update --description` (short: `-d`) to update an issue's body text via the Linear `issueUpdate` mutation with `description` input. Supports `-` to open an editor (consistent with issue create and other long-form inputs), and follows the existing update-option precedence order (after --project, before the comment-only fallback).
