What shipped

+
Plain-language summary of what landed in this slice.
+
    +
  • New --parent <id-or-identifier> CLI flag for linear issues list, accepting a Linear identifier (e.g. BB-418) or a UUID.
    • +
  • Gateway threads the parent constraint into the SDK as filter: { parent: { id: { eq: <uuid> } } }, so filtering happens server-side instead of paginating the workspace.
    • +
  • Identifier→UUID resolution centralized in a new LinearGateway.resolveIssueId helper that short-circuits when the input already looks like a UUID.
    • +
  • Filter merge (rather than overwrite) preserves any future server-side filter additions.
    • +
  • Added an example to issues --help: linear issues list --parent ANN-123 --json.
    • +

Nitpick
2
+
+
+
    +
  • Fixed — Double-resolution of parent id (CLI was pre-resolving and gateway was re-resolving). CLI now passes globals.parent through; gateway owns resolution.
    • +
  • Fixed — Filter assignment clobbered any pre-existing filter on variables. Now merges via spread.
    • +
  • Fixed — Removed dead parentId field from ListQuery.
    • +
  • Deferred (minor) — Wrap SDK error from client.issue() with a clearer "Issue not found" message. Pre-existing CLI error envelope still surfaces the SDK message; deferring keeps scope tight.
    • +
  • Deferred (minor) — --parent registered as global option, mirroring existing --project/--cycle pattern.

Self-QA recording

+
No browser surface — CLI flag plus gateway helper. Verified via unit tests and commit inspection.
+

See ./issue-3-qa.md for the full QA fallback document.

+
+ +
+

Scenarios covered

+
Golden path and at least one edge case per acceptance criterion.
+
    +
  • Identifier input (ENG-42): gateway resolves to UUID via client.issue(), then sends filter.parent.id.eq = <uuid>.
    • +
  • UUID input: short-circuits the regex check, no extra API call, filter still applied.
    • +
  • No --parent argument: existing listIssues behaviour unchanged (covered by existing test).
    • +
  • resolveIssueId unit-tested for both branches (UUID identity, identifier lookup).
    • +
+
+ +
+

Acceptance criteria

+
Every box ticked before the commit was made.
+
    +
  • Add a way to list child issues of a parent from linear issues list.
    • +
  • Accept both Linear identifiers (e.g. BB-418) and internal UUIDs.
    • +
  • Surface parent filter in --help via global options + an example in the issues help text.
    • +
  • JSON output unchanged in shape; parentId already present on IssueRecord.
    • +

feat(cli): add --parent filter to issues list
+
+Threads a parent issue identifier or UUID through `linear issues list`
+to the Linear SDK as `{ filter: { parent: { id: { eq: ... } } } }`.
+The gateway resolves identifiers (e.g. ANN-123) to UUIDs once and
+merges into any existing filter so future server-side constraints
+compose cleanly.
