Add bug / idea submission commands to CLI

[alinejun]

Overview

Add new subcommands to the markon CLI so users can submit bug reports and feature proposals (Ideas) directly from the terminal, without switching to a browser to use GitHub Discussions.

Motivation

Currently, submitting a bug or feature proposal requires manually opening GitHub, navigating to Discussions, and filling out the form. For heavy CLI users, this breaks the workflow. A one-step submission from the terminal:

markon bug     # submit a bug report interactively or via flags
markon idea    # submit a feature proposal interactively or via flags

would significantly lower the barrier to giving feedback and improve the developer experience.

Possible Implementation

1. markon bug — Creates a Discussion in the Q&A category via the GitHub API. Supports --title and --body flags, or enters an interactive form (TUI).
2. markon idea — Creates a Discussion in the Ideas category. Same UX: flags or interactive input.
3. Optionally support reading from a template file (--template) or from stdin.
4. Use the gh CLI or direct GitHub GraphQL API calls to create discussions.

Shipped in b5e21a1 (feat(cli): add bug/idea/ask subcommands backed by gh), arriving in the next release.

Implemented with a hard dependency on gh as suggested — the CLI shells out to the GitHub CLI for both auth and submission, so we inherit gh's token handling, retry, and error UX instead of reimplementing them.

markon bug   --title "..." [--body "..."]    # gh issue create --label bug
markon idea  --title "..." [--body "..."]    # gh api graphql → Ideas
markon ask   --title "..." [--body "..."]    # gh api graphql → Q&A

When --title is omitted you're prompted interactively; when --body is omitted $EDITOR opens with a template pre-filled with the running app version, OS, and arch. The body templates come from markon-core's existing i18n bundle, so the CLI stays in sync with the GUI's existing "Report issue" buttons.

Discussions use gh api graphql directly because gh discussion create isn't a built-in as of gh 2.90.

If gh is missing or unauthenticated the command hard-errors with the exact one-liner needed:

$ markon bug --title x --body y
Markon v0.13.8
Error: `gh` (GitHub CLI) not found on PATH.

Thank you so much for adding this.

I’ve installed the latest version of Markon and have already started using it. It works great so far.
