Research direction

Locate TryGetTidFromTargetId() and reproduce the parsing behavior with the issue's target-id value, Thread 15307.15307. Confirm how the function currently interprets the identifier and update the handling so this format yields the expected thread ID; verify the behavior with the relevant existing tests, if present.
