sync-jira-epic

Purpose

One-way sync of a local epic markdown file to Jira. Auto-detects create vs update from jira_key in frontmatter.

jira_key present? Action
Absent Pre-flight search by summary id, then Create if no match. Writes jira_key back to file.
Present Update existing Jira epic via atomic PUT. A Change Log row is written only if the status transitioned.

Difference from sync-jira-story: epics are top-level — no parent issue. Issue type sent as Epic. Sets the Epic Name customfield (customfield_10011 by default) on create, with auto-retry that drops the field if the project rejects it (typical of team-managed projects).
