GitHub Issues-First Workflow

Default: Use GitHub Issues exclusively for all content, hierarchy, and tracking. Optional: Link to Projects v2 for cross-repo visualization only.

Critical Principle: Issues Are Everything

GitHub Issues = Content + Hierarchy + Status + History. GitHub Projects v2 = Visualization layer only (no content, no history).

With sub-issues (GA April 2025), Issues now handle hierarchy natively. Projects v2 is reduced to an optional visualization dashboard.
