Add automatic issue creation on lint/test workflow failures

[Copilot]

Lint and pytest workflows now automatically create GitHub issues when failures occur on main branch pushes.

Changes

• Workflow modifications: Added issues: write permission and continue-on-error step handling to both lint.yml and pytest.yml
• Issue creation logic: Conditional step triggers only on main branch push failures, checks for existing open issues to prevent duplicates
• Issue content: Includes workflow run URL, commit SHA, branch name, and local reproduction commands
• Label management: Auto-creates lint-failure and test-failure labels if missing
• TODO.md: Cleared completed item

Implementation

- name: Run flake8
  id: flake8
  continue-on-error: true
  run: ./.venv/bin/python -m flake8 -q

- name: Create issue on failure
  if: steps.flake8.outcome == 'failure' && github.event_name == 'push' && github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
  run: |
    # Check for existing open issues, create label if needed, then create issue

Pattern follows existing check-todo.yml workflow for consistency.

<issue_title>Process TODO.md items - 2026-01-02</issue_title>
<issue_description>@copilot

Please process the following TODO items from TODO.md and create a PR with the necessary changes.

Before creating the final commit or PR, run the repository linter and tests and fix any failures:

• Run the linter: flake8
• Run the test suite: pytest

Only create the final PR/commit when both the linter and tests pass. Include the linter and test results in the PR description or a CI run log.

Now apply the requested changes for the TODOs below and open a branch+PR when complete:

1. Update the Lint and pytest workflow to include a step, that upon failure; creates an issue and/or automated workflow to fix the problem```

After completing the work, please update TODO.md accordingly (remove completed items or mark as done).
