Ensure Task Jira Issue — Sub-Routine

Purpose

This is an internal sub-routine called by create-task and review-task. Do not invoke directly via slash command.

Inputs (set by the calling skill before invoking)

• TASK_FILE_PATH — repo-relative path to the task markdown file (e.g. docs/tasks/task.5.cache-lib-refactor/task.5.cache-lib-refactor.md)
• TRACKER — set by references/resolve-platform.sh in the calling skill (must be jira for this sub-routine to act)
• Env: JIRA_URL, plus Atlassian MCP credentials (cloudId derived from JIRA_URL hostname)

Output (set by this sub-routine, available to the calling skill)

• TASK_JIRA_KEY — Jira issue key (e.g. PROJ-456), or empty string on failure or skip
