Workvane: Jira + GitHub Wind

About

Workvane is a Chrome extension that brings Jira status, Jira workflow actions, and ticket-recovery tools directly into GitHub pull-request pages. Developers decide what is ready, blocked, stale, or missing a ticket on the PR page — so that is where Workvane puts the workflow truth, instead of forcing a context switch to Jira.

"Wind" is the name for each focused source-and-ticketing integration. Jira + GitHub is the first; Linear + GitHub, Jira + GitLab, and others follow the same model.

Key features:
- Jira badges in GitHub: ticket status and assignee chips next to every linked PR.
- One-click transitions: move Jira tickets through any workflow state without leaving GitHub, with per-transition conditions so buttons appear only when a PR is genuinely ready.
- Ticket suggestions: for a PR with no ticket key, Workvane searches Jira, suggests the most likely ticket, and links it (with a remote link back to Jira).
- Status styling & mismatch highlights: custom statuses, aliases, chip colors, and row signals; approved-and-passing PRs stand out when Jira is still behind.
- Transition diagnostics: dry-run any configured transition against a real ticket to see exactly why a button does or doesn't appear.
- Merge blockers at a glance: flags PR rows with merge conflicts or unresolved review threads.
- Approve with a follow-up ticket: approve a PR and file a follow-up Jira ticket, pre-linked to the PR and its original ticket, in one step.

Benefits:
- Stop context-switching between GitHub and Jira to read or update workflow state.
- Catch PRs that look ready but can't ship (conflicts, unresolved threads, stale Jira state).
- Keep Jira accurate without manual bookkeeping — including PRs that never had a ticket key.
- Configure once; conditions keep the PR list honest as the team works.
