fix(rig-epic): GitHub epics = ticket + sub-issues, not a committed file - #43
Merged
Conversation
…mmitted file The board is the shared brain — an epic shouldn't live as repo-committed JSON. On tracker: github, the source of truth is now the parent issue and its native GitHub sub-issues: - plan links each child as a sub-issue of the parent (gh api .../sub_issues) and writes blockedBy in the body; the sub-issues ARE the epic on the board. - start/run/next reconstruct children from the parent's sub-issues (gh api repos/<repo>/issues/<parent>/sub_issues), so an epic you were handed on the board is runnable with no committed state. - .rig/epics/*.json is a gitignored local cache rebuilt from the tracker — never committed. (linear/none unchanged.) This is what lets rig-loop dispatch off the board.
