Research direction

Start with the Hackbot Bugzilla create and update actions that handle bugzilla.create_bug.extra and bugzilla.update_bug.changes, then read the linked pull request discussion for context. Verify that unsupported fields, invalid types, and typos are rejected against Bugzilla’s accepted fields before the action is recorded.

Follow-up https://github.com/mozilla/bugbug/pull/6758#discussion_r3916594069

bugzilla.create_bug.extra and bugzilla.update_bug.changes currently accept arbitrary keys and values through dict[str, Any]. Unsupported fields, invalid types, and typos are recorded successfully and fail only when the action is applied. Validate these fields against Bugzilla’s accepted fields and types before recording.
