Import Subrepo Issue #92

Workflow file for this run

# Import Issue Workflow
# ---------------------
# This workflow imports a single issue from a source repository into this monorepo repository,
# as part of a migration. It preserves key metadata including title, body, labels, and comment
# history with timestamps and authorship.
#
# Trigger: Manually via `workflow_dispatch` with the following inputs:
# - source_repo: Full source repository name (e.g., "ROCm/rocBLAS")
# - issue_number: Issue number in the source repository to import
#
# Steps:
# 1. Validate that the caller has 'admin' or 'maintain' permission on the monorepo
# 2. Fetch the issue body, title, labels, and comments using the GitHub CLI (`gh api`)
# 3. Create a new issue in the target repo, preserving:
# - Original title
# - Original body
# - All labels
# - A reference link back to the source issue
# 4. Recreate each comment from the original issue with:
# - Original comment body
# - Original author and timestamp
# 5. Post a comment on the original issue linking to the new one
#
# Notes:
# - This workflow requires GitHub App credentials (APP_ID and APP_PRIVATE_KEY)
# - Only issue metadata is migrated; cross-linked issues, reactions, assignees, and milestones are not yet handled
