Rank open GitHub issues by engagement and plan the selected issue.

Step 1: Fetch and Rank Issues

Run gh issue list to fetch open issues with engagement data:

gh issue list --state open --json number,title,url,reactionGroups,comments,labels,createdAt --limit 50

Calculate an engagement score for each issue:

• Reactions score: Sum all reaction counts from reactionGroups (thumbs up, heart, hooray, etc.). Weight thumbs-up (THUMBS_UP) reactions 2x since they signal explicit demand.
• Comments score: Count of comments on the issue.
• Engagement score: (weighted reactions) + comments

Sort issues by engagement score descending.
