DL-410
A PR is linked to its issue by an explicit CreatePullRequestRequest.issue coordinate (forge + repo + number), shape-checked but never tracker-read at create and written in one transaction with the DL-055 row and the PR row; without one, every GitHub closingIssuesReferences entry is a link, recomputed on each hydrate. Ingestion never removes or downgrades an explicit link, and a PR whose explicit targets are all off the board (including every Linear target, until Linear issues are board rows) falls back to its closing references at read time
