[plan] Refactor create_issue handler to factory pattern

[github-actions]

Objective

Convert the most complex safe output handler (create_issue.cjs) to use the factory pattern.

Context

This is Phase 3 of the safe output manager refactoring (#8098). This is the most complex handler with 355 lines and handles sub-issue linking, cross-repository support, and parent-child relationships.

Dependencies

• Requires: #aw_phase2_medium to be completed

Target Branch

sot (safe output transition)

Handler to Refactor

actions/setup/js/create_issue.cjs (355 lines)

Complex Features to Preserve

1. Sub-issue linking logic - Parent-child issue relationships
2. Cross-repository support - Issues in different repos
3. Temporary ID resolution - Resolve parent temporary IDs
4. Parent-child relationships - Link sub-issues to parents
5. Label sanitization - Clean up labels before applying
6. Issue type mapping - Support custom issue types

Implementation Pattern

async function main(config = {}) {
  const { 
    max = 5, 
    expires = 7, 
    allowed_labels = [], 
    allowed_issue_types = {} 
  } = config;
  
  return async function(outputItem, resolvedTemporaryIds) {
    // Process single issue creation message
    // Resolve parent temporary IDs
    // Create issue with all features
    // Return { temporaryId, repo, number }
  };
}

module.exports = { main };

Config Parameters

• max - Maximum issues per workflow
• expires - Days until issues expire
• allowed_labels - Whitelisted labels
• allowed_issue_types - Custom issue type mappings
• default_assignees - Default assignees for issues

Testing

# Run comprehensive tests
npm test -- create_issue.test.cjs

# Test sub-issue linking
npm test -- create_issue.test.cjs -t "sub-issue"

# Integration test
npm test -- safe_output_handler_manager.test.cjs

Acceptance Criteria

• Factory pattern implemented
• Sub-issue linking preserved
• Cross-repository support maintained
• Temporary ID resolution works
• No direct process.env access
• All existing tests pass
• Parent-child relationships work correctly
