+# Posts a Slack notification to #gh-wallet-eng when an issue is opened.
+#
+# Requires the SLACK_WEBHOOK_GH_ISSUES secret: an incoming webhook bound to
+# that channel.
+#
+# The issue title is untrusted input. It is rendered through a Block Kit
+# plain_text object, which Slack does not parse as mrkdwn, so link and mention
+# syntax in a title cannot take effect. Do not move the title into a mrkdwn
+# field. The top-level text fallback is mrkdwn-parsed, so it is escaped.
