Sample tests· showing 3 of 10
| # | Input | Expected behavior | Check |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | A guest-reported crash lands in Triage on team Mobile with workflow states Backlog, Triage, In Progress, Done. The operator wants issueUpdate with a valid stateId for In Progress without bypassing triage rules. GraphQL is served … | Query team workflow states, confirm Triage is the current stateId, then issueUpdate to the team's documented In Progress stateId; cite state name in the audit note. | Pass / FailWorkflowhigh |
| 02 | Issue ENG-441 is in Completed (state type completed). Operator requests reopening to In Progress on the same team. Prior webhook payloads stored previousValues.stateId for forensic comparison. | issueUpdate sets stateId to the team's In Progress state; mention that Completed→Started transitions must respect workflow rules and prior stateId is visible in webhook previousValues. | Pass / FailWorkflowmedium |
| 03 | Parent issue PLAT-12 exists. Operator wants a child with parentId set, same teamId, title 'Cutover DNS', and state Backlog. Must use issueCreate at api.linear.app/graphql with parent linkage fields documented for sub-issues. | issueCreate includes parentId referencing PLAT-12, inherits teamId from parent or sets explicitly, and returns the child identifier without breaking parent state. | Pass / FailWorkflowmedium |
