Pull Request Overview
This PR transforms the GitHub issue creation process from requiring users to copy/paste large blocks of content (30+ lines) to using simple 2-3 line references that allow GitHub Copilot agents to read template requirements dynamically. This eliminates copy/paste errors, improves mobile experience, and ensures users always get up-to-date requirements.
- Replaced complex copy/paste instructions with simple issue creation examples across all documentation
- Updated template files to provide dynamic references instead of static content blocks
- Modified test patterns to validate the new reference-based approach
