Search Linear

1. Search across all active Linear issues (exclude completed, cancelled, duplicate) using mcp__plugin_linear_linear__list_issues
2. For each commit message and changed file, check whether any Linear issue's title or description describes work that this branch has addressed
3. Include issues that were:
   • Explicitly referenced in commits
   • Implicitly resolved by the changes (match issue descriptions against the actual diff)
