enhancement, integration, new-feature

Start by reading integrations/github/src/index.ts and compare the integrations/hubspot/, integrations/slack/, and integrations/linear/ templates. Build the listed integrations/intercom/ files around Intercom OAuth, API v2.15, cursor pagination, and the requested sync events, then add the integration documentation and integrations/README.md entry; done means the full task checklist is covered.
