Agent model

A Linear agent is an OAuth app with the agents:create and agents:signal scopes that:

• Can be assigned to issues (treated as a first-class assignee)
• Posts comments / status changes on behalf of users (via OAuth actor authorization)
• Emits signals — short status messages rendered inline on the issue ("running tests", "75% complete", "needs input")
• Receives interaction events — when a user @-mentions the agent or assigns it
