Track Linear Issue Milestones in Bugherd
Assign an issue to a milestone in Linear, and we create a tracking task in Bugherd so no milestone work falls through the cracks.

Action

Why this helps
Issues get assigned to milestones in Linear, but that milestone context isn't reflected in Bugherd, creating confusion about deadline-critical work.
- Milestone work is properly tracked
- Deadline-critical issues stay visible
- Prevents milestone work from being deprioritized
- Improves release planning accuracy
- Reduces missed release deadlines
