Research direction

Read .github/workflows/external-links.yml and .github/workflows/traction-live.yml to locate the inline shell and Python that build issue bodies and decide whether to open, edit, or close them. Then inspect the scripts/ area and existing test setup before moving the logic. Done means tests cover the generated body text and each open/edit/close decision.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

ci enhancement testing

Where: .github/workflows/external-links.yml, .github/workflows/traction-live.yml.

Current gap: Both workflows assemble an issue body and decide whether to open, edit or close it in inline shell and Python, so a mistake only shows on the next Monday run.

Suggested approach: Move the body building into scripts/ functions with tests and call them from the workflows.

Done when: the body text and the open/edit/close decision are covered by tests.
