Description

Especially when used with version tags (like GitHub Actions), it is helpful to see the incoming tags in the comment that is generated. That can indicate breaking changes that might need extra scrutiny.

Annotate the body with the create issue

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.

  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by locating the code that generates the update comment and handles version tags, then inspect how the issue body is annotated. Done means the generated comment exposes incoming tags or releases clearly enough to flag possible breaking changes, with the requested create-issue annotation preserved.
