Related to WS-1974

• Renames the workflow to Linked Issue Requirement. The file path and the job id stay the same, so the required check is still linked-issue.
• Matches the issue key format of our Linear teams, for example WS-123. The check ignores case, so branch names such as user/ws-123 pass.
• Branch names from the GitHub web editor, such as user-patch-1, no longer count as a key.
• Removes the list of skipped tokens (SHA-256, UTF-8, and others), because those tokens no longer match.
• Keeps the GitHub App bot skip from Skipped the linked-issue check for GitHub App bot PRs #3. Adds tests for Fixes [WS-123](url), Related to [WS-123](url), and Linear branch names.

Walkthrough

The pull request narrows Linear issue-key matching to specified team prefixes and updates related tests. It also revises the workflow name, failure message, and README description.

Changes: Linked Issue Requirement

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update issue-key matching .github/scripts/linked-issue.js, .github/scripts/linked-issue.test.js	The matcher now accepts specified two- and three-letter team prefixes without regard to case. Tests cover accepted keys, non-key formats, GitHub web-editor branches, and keys embedded after a word character.
Update requirement messaging .github/workflows/linked-issue.yml, README.md	The workflow name changes to Linked Issue Requirement, and its failure message removes the ABC-123 example. The README updates the section title and uses WS-123 as its example. It retains the checked locations, case-insensitive matching, and GitHub App bot exemption.

• northpolesec/required-workflows#2: It uses the hasLinearKey result to control the No-Issue: escape hatch. This matcher change affects when that handling applies.

Merge Risk: Low · up to ec99f

The implementation is functionally aligned, but incomplete README guidance may cause unnecessary edits when users can satisfy the check through a valid branch name.

Pre-merge checks: 2

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title check		The title clearly and concisely describes the two main changes: renaming the check and matching Linear team keys.
Description check		The description directly explains the workflow rename, issue-key matching changes, branch handling, skipped-token removal, and test coverage.

WS-123 is a valid Linear issue key and that accepted keys use a two- or
three-letter team prefix followed by a hyphen and issue number; preserve the
documented title, body, branch-name, and case-insensitive matching behavior.

Document branch names as valid key locations.

The workflow passes pr.head.ref to hasLinearKey, and the matcher checks the title, body, and branch. A valid key in the branch can therefore satisfy the check, but README.md:11 tells users to use only the title or body. This can cause users to edit fields unnecessarily.

Suggested fix

-If the check fails, add the key to the title or the body. Then push a commit or run the check again. GitHub does not run the check again when you only edit the title or the body.
