Allow full Issue URLs and all GitHub recognized Issue reference keywords in PR body validation #1739

@Relequestual

Description

@Relequestual

Currently, the PR Body Validation workflow only accepts issue references in the form "closes #1234" or "related to #1234". However:

Expected resolution:

Update the PR Body Validation workflow to accept:

  • Full URLs to issues (not just the #1234 format).
  • Any of the official GitHub-recognized keywords for issue references.

This would make PR validation consistent with GitHub’s own behavior and reduce friction for contributors who use the full range of supported formats.
