- Remove the pull_request guard in handleWebhook so issue_comment events on plain issues are processed
- Add type discriminator ("pr" | "issue") to GitHubThreadId
- New thread ID format for issues: github:owner/repo:issue:42 (existing PR formats unchanged)
- fetchThread branches on type to call issues.get() vs pulls.get()
- encodeThreadId/decodeThreadId handle the new issue format
- Validate that reviewCommentId cannot be set on issue threads
- All other methods (postMessage, editMessage, deleteMessage, reactions, fetchMessages) already use issues.* APIs and work for both PRs and issues with no changes
- listThreads remains PR-only for now (issue threads are created reactively via webhooks)
- Updated tests, README thread model table, package.json description/keywords
- Minor changeset for @chat-adapter/github
Handle issue_comment webhooks on plain issues, not just PRs. Issue threads use the format github:owner/repo:issue:42.

parseMessage and other methods now correctly produce issue-format thread IDs when the raw message originated from a plain issue, not a PR.
