feat(issue-update): add --body-file to lc issue update - #227
Merged
Conversation
Read the description from a file (- for stdin) instead of passing it as a --description shell argument. Mutually exclusive with --description; --comment and --reason are unaffected. Wires the existing validate_body_file_exclusion/3 and resolve_body_from_file/2 helpers into issue_update/1, matching how issue create and issue comment already use them. Adds CLI tests: file read, stdin read, mutual-exclusion error, and unreadable-file error. Closes EXT-36
