Input from Gemini 2.5 pro:

✦ The core functionality of adding "blocked by" and "blocking" relationships is a valuable enhancement. I'm approving this PR.

However, during the review, the following areas for improvement were identified and will be addressed in separate follow-up tickets to avoid merge conflicts and keep this PR focused:

  • Issue #7757: Optimize GraphQL responses for ADD_BLOCKED_BY and REMOVE_BLOCKED_BY mutations. The current responses fetch more data than necessary.
  • Issue #7758: Extract inline GraphQL queries from IssueService.mjs to the queries folder for better separation of concerns.
  • Issue #7759: Move "blocked by" and "blocking" relationship information from the issue body to the frontmatter in IssueSyncer.mjs for improved data structure and consistency.

Thanks for the contribution!
