fix(action): Fix detection of existing publish issues#728
Merged
Conversation
The jq filter for matching issue titles was using shell variable interpolation inside the -q flag, which can cause escaping issues with special characters like @ in version strings. Fix by piping to external jq with --arg to safely pass the title variable, avoiding any escaping or interpolation issues.

Replace GitHub search API with listing all open issues and filtering by exact title match using jq. This avoids: - Search indexing delays that could cause duplicate issues - Query syntax edge cases with special characters like @

Summary
Replace GitHub search API with listing all open issues and filtering by exact title match.

The GitHub search API has indexing delays and query syntax edge cases that can cause the search to miss recently created issues or fail to match titles with special characters like

Instead of using GitHub search:
