Make task blockers visible to the team
A blocker is easier to resolve when the right people can see it. Notis can add blocker context from a changed task to its related issue.
Trigger

Why this helps
Blockers recorded in a personal list can go unnoticed by the people who could help unblock the work.
- Bring dependency details into the shared work conversation.
- Reduce the need to remember who should be notified.
- Make it easier to ask for help before work stalls further.
