Adding Temporary ID Support to Safe Output Jobs

Use this implementation plan for temporary ID support in safe output jobs. Temporary IDs let agents reference newly created issues in the same run before real issue numbers exist.

Problem Statement

When an agent creates a parent issue and immediately links sub-issues in the same run, it does not know the real issue number until create_issue completes. Temporary IDs bridge this gap with placeholders resolved at execution time.

Temporary ID Format

Temporary IDs follow the pattern aw_[A-Za-z0-9]{3,8} where:

• aw_ is a fixed prefix identifying agentic workflow temporary IDs
• XXXXXXXX is a 3-8 character alphanumeric string (A-Za-z0-9)

Example: aw_abc, aw_abc123, aw_Test123
