+name: Convert Issue to Blog Post
+
+# ======================================================================
+# WORKFLOW RELATIONSHIPS
+# ======================================================================
+# This workflow is part of a publishing pipeline:
+#
+# 1. This workflow (issue-to-post.yaml):
+#    - Triggers when a specific GitHub Issue is closed
+#    - Creates a new blog post based on the issue content
+#    - Commits and pushes the new post to the repository
+#
+# 2. When this workflow pushes to main, it automatically triggers:
+#    - The deploy.yaml workflow, which builds and deploys the site
+#
+# This creates an implicit chain:
+#   Issue closed → issue-to-post → [push to repo] → deploy workflow → [site deployed]
+#
+# No explicit workflow_call or workflow_dispatch dependencies are needed
+# as GitHub's event system handles the chain through the push event.
+# ======================================================================

+  issues:
