Subject: [PATCH 1/8] feat: add GitHub issue retrieval and updating to
 dev-tools CLI and MCP

This commit introduces new structured commands and MCP tools for managing GitHub issues.

Key changes:
- Extended `tdw_services` GitHubClient and Orchestrator with issue retrieval and body update capabilities.
- Added `gh issue-view`, `gh issue-update`, and `gh issue-comment` subcommands to `td_cli.py`.
- Exposed `github.issue_view`, `github.issue_update`, and `github.issue_comment` tools in the `boomtick-mcp` server.
- Updated `cli-schema.json` to register the new commands for AI agents.
- Ensured consistent JSON output flattening and documentation in both Python and TypeScript components.

- Exposed `github.issue_view`, `github.issue_update`, and `github.issue_comment` tools in the `boomtick-mcp` server.
- Updated `cli-schema.json` to register the new commands for AI agents.
- Implemented security best practices in MCP handlers: secure unique filenames using `crypto.randomUUID()`, Zod output validation, and sanitized error messages.
- Refined CLI error handling with specific logging and user-friendly error messages.

Subject: [PATCH 3/8] feat: add GitHub issue retrieval and updating to
 dev-tools CLI and MCP

This commit introduces new structured commands and MCP tools for managing GitHub issues, with a focus on security, performance, and maintainability.

Key changes:
- Extended `tdw_services` GitHubClient and Orchestrator with issue retrieval and body update capabilities.
- Added `gh issue-view`, `gh issue-update`, and `gh issue-comment` subcommands to `td_cli.py`, supporting both file-based and literal text input.
- Exposed `github.issue_view`, `github.issue_update`, and `github.issue_comment` tools in the `boomtick-mcp` server.
- Updated `cli-schema.json` to register the new commands for AI agents.
- Implemented security best practices in MCP handlers: Zod output validation and sanitized error messages.
- Refined CLI error handling by centralizing unexpected error management.
- Refactored Orchestrator methods for cleaner API signatures and direct body support.
- Verified all changes with comprehensive Python and TypeScript test suites.

Subject: [PATCH 4/8] feat: add GitHub issue retrieval and updating to
 dev-tools CLI and MCP

This commit introduces new structured commands and MCP tools for managing GitHub issues, incorporating feedback for security, performance, and code quality.

Key changes:
- Extended `tdw_services` GitHubClient and Orchestrator with issue retrieval and body update capabilities.
- Refactored Orchestrator methods to accept body text directly, improving performance and simplifying API usage.
- Added `gh issue-view`, `gh issue-update`, and `gh issue-comment` subcommands to `td_cli.py`, with support for both `--file` and `--body` inputs.
- Centralized generic exception handling in the CLI to reduce boilerplate and improve maintainability.
- Exposed `github.issue_view`, `github.issue_update`, and `github.issue_comment` tools in the `boomtick-mcp` server, using direct body passing to avoid redundant I/O.
- Implemented robust security practices in MCP: Zod validation for CLI output and sanitized error reporting.
- Updated and fixed existing Python tests to align with the refactored Orchestrator logic.
- Updated `cli-schema.json` to reflect the new command signatures.

Subject: [PATCH 7/8] feat: add GitHub issue retrieval and updating to
 dev-tools CLI and MCP

This commit introduces new structured commands and MCP tools for managing GitHub issues, incorporating final feedback for logic refinement and consistency.

Key changes:
- Extended `tdw_services` GitHubClient and Orchestrator with issue retrieval and body update capabilities.
- Refactored Orchestrator methods to accept body text directly, with improved parameter naming (`issue_number`, `entity_number`).
- Updated CLI in `td_cli.py` with a new `_get_body_content` helper to centralize argument resolution for `--file` and `--body`.
- Ensured `create_issue` result is wrapped in `{"issue": res}` for consistency across all issue commands.
- Fixed `_get_body_content` to correctly handle empty string inputs (`if content is None`).
- Verified all changes with comprehensive Python (39) and TypeScript (23) test suites.

Subject: [PATCH 8/8] feat: add GitHub issue retrieval and updating to
 dev-tools CLI and MCP

This commit introduces new structured commands and MCP tools for managing GitHub issues, incorporating feedback for security, performance, and maintainability.

Key changes:
- Extended `tdw_services` GitHubClient and Orchestrator with issue retrieval and body update capabilities.
- Refactored Orchestrator methods for cleaner API signatures (`issue_number`, `entity_number`) and direct body support.
- Added `gh issue-view`, `gh issue-update`, `gh issue-comment`, and updated `gh post-comment` subcommands in `td_cli.py`.
- Introduced `_get_body_content` helper in CLI to centralize resolution of `--file` and `--body` flags.
- Centralized unexpected error handling in the CLI to reduce code duplication.
- Exposed Tier 1 MCP tools (`github.issue_view`, `github.issue_update`, `github.issue_comment`) with strict Zod validation.
- Created shared `sanitizeError` utility in MCP to prevent information leakage.
- Verified all changes with 39 Python tests and 23 MCP Vitest tests.
