What Start Issue does

description: Open a worktree for a GitHub issue and read the issue into the session argument-hint:

Start work on issue #$1 of this repository.

Before anything is created

Read the issue and find out whether somebody is already on it. Both, before touching the disk.

gh issue view $1 --json number,title,state,body,labels,assignees
git worktree list
git branch --list "*$1*"

An issue on this board is usually already running somewhere: a branch named after it
