Linear Bug Status to Front Customer Reply

When a Linear bug issue changes state, it finds the linked Front conversation and drafts a plain-English status reply to the customer.

What it does

Closes the feedback loop in reverse: when an engineer moves a Linear bug to In Progress, Done, or Won't Fix, this finds the originating Front conversation (via the stored conversation reference) and posts a customer-friendly status update drafted from the Linear state and resolution notes.

When to use it

Use it when bugs reported through Front go dark for customers once they enter engineering. This keeps reporters updated automatically as the issue progresses, reducing "any update?" follow-ups.

How it works

  1. 1A Linear issue state change on a `bug`-labeled issue triggers the flow.
  2. 2The flow reads the issue, its new state, and the embedded Front conversation reference.
  3. 3A logic step maps only meaningful transitions (started, shipped, declined) to customer messages; intermediate moves are ignored.
  4. 4OpenAI drafts a concise, non-technical update from the state and resolution comment.
  5. 5The draft is posted to the linked Front conversation as a reply for support to send or auto-send per config.
