Link a GitHub Issue + Linear Ticket on a PR

Appends a Sentry-style #### Issues block to a PR description, referencing both the GitHub issue and the Linear ticket pulled from the issue's linear-linkback comment.

Inputs

<issue-url> — GitHub issue URL like https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/issues/<n>. Issue number alone is fine if the PR is in the same repo.
(optional) <pr-number> — defaults to the open PR for the current branch.

Steps

Resolve the PR number — skip if user supplied one:
```
gh pr view --json number,body -q '.number'
```
If no PR exists on the branch, stop and tell the user.
Extract issue number + repo from the input URL, or accept a bare #1234 for current repo.

Fetch the Linear ticket from the issue's linear-linkback comment:

gh issue view <n> --repo <owner>/<repo> --json comments \
  -q '.comments[] | select(.author.login=="linear-code") | .body' \
  | grep -Eioe '[a-z]+-[0-9]+' | head -1

If no match, fall back to asking the user for the Linear key, or omit it.

Read the existing PR body so you can append rather than overwrite:
```
gh pr view <pr-number> --json body -q '.body'
```
Construct the new body. If the body is empty, use just the #### Issues block. Otherwise, append it after a blank line. Don't duplicate — if #### Issues is already present, replace that section instead of adding a second one.

Format:
```
#### Issues

* Resolves: #<n>
* Resolves: <linear-key>
```

Update the PR with a heredoc to preserve newlines:

gh pr edit <pr-number> --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
<new body>
EOF
)"

Confirm by echoing the resulting PR URL:

gh pr view <pr-number> --json url -q '.url'

Notes

Linear linkback comments are posted by the GitHub user linear-code. The body contains a markdown link whose text is the Linear key, e.g. PY-2357.
Project keys vary per repo (PY-… for sentry-python, JS-… for sentry-javascript, etc.) — the regex [a-z]+-[0-9]+ covers them.
Don't strip existing PR content. Always read first, append/replace second.
If the issue doesn't have a Linear linkback yet (newly filed), proceed with just the GitHub issue reference and tell the user the Linear key is missing.
