Research direction

Start with commands/epics.go lines 45-47 and inspect printIssueRow plus the type of issueList.Issues to understand whether the referenced range variable can produce incorrect output. Run the project's available Go tests or checks, then confirm the analyzer finding is addressed without changing expected issue-row behavior.
