Description
🤖 **Motivation**
Project issues lack mutable, authoritative ownership, so human and agent work cannot be routed reliably.
**Proposed solution**
Add signed, replaceable assignee state writable by the issue creator or repository owner, readable in CLI and Projects. Assignment is routing—not acceptance or execution.
Implementation: #3348. Related: #2934 tracks board UI, not this primitive.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading this issue and implementation issue #3348; #2934 is explicitly limited to board UI. Trace the proposed assignee-state primitive and its CLI and Projects exposure. Done means creator or repository owner can write replaceable signed state, while users can read it reliably for routing rather than acceptance or execution.
