Module notes 

The managed blocks in review descriptions: the user’s description, the issue-closing link, and the stack-overview ledger ([ledger]), all built on marker-delimited [sections].

Functions

branch_references_issue

Whether a branch name references an issue git-stk would link with a Closes #N note. Lets the caller predict whether a seeded template will be followed by managed content (and so needs a seam rule).

seed_template_notes

Seed each freshly created review’s body with the repo’s PR/MR template, so the managed sections below augment it instead of --fill replacing it. Create-only - existing reviews keep whatever body they have - and skipped when stk.usePrTemplate is off or the repo has no single template. Each entry is a freshly created branch and whether git-stk will write a managed section (description, Closes #N, or stack overview) into its review below the template - which decides whether a seam rule is seeded.

update_closes_notes

Add a Closes #N line to each branch’s review when the branch name references an issue (e.g. 123-fix-thing, fix/issue-123), so the platform closes the issue when the review merges. Branches without an issue reference are passed over silently.

update_description_note

Write (or, with an empty string, clear) the description block in the branch’s review body. Unlike the stack overview the block is sticky: submits without --desc never touch it.

update_stack_notes

Maintain a stack overview in every review body: the full ledger leaf-first, the trunk at the bottom, and a pointing emoji marking the review being viewed. Lives between marker comments so refreshes replace it in place, and self-repairs if the markers were hand-edited away. Merged and closed entries are preserved from the previous note and restyled instead of dropped.
