- `/adhoc/jira` — Jira Tickets dashboard with Overview, Search, and Sprints tabs

## Script Usage

```bash
# Search tickets
pnpm action jira-search --jql="summary ~ SSO ORDER BY created DESC" --fields=key,summary,status,assignee

# Ticket analytics
pnpm action jira-analytics --days=30
pnpm action jira-analytics --projects=ENG,PROD --days=30
```

## Key Patterns & Gotchas

- **IMPORTANT**: The old `/rest/api/3/search` endpoint was removed by Atlassian (returns 410). Must use `/rest/api/3/search/jql` instead.
- JQL for duplicate detection: `project = X AND summary ~ "keyword" ORDER BY created DESC`
- Always use markdown links for tickets: `[ENG-1234](https://yourorg.atlassian.net/browse/ENG-1234)`
- `getStatuses` with a projectKey returns an array of issue type entries; the code flattens nested statuses
- `getAnalytics` runs multiple search queries and aggregates client-side
