Jira as an approval channel

[andresharpe]

Description

Enable dotbot to use Jira as a Q&A / approval channel alongside Teams and email.

Scope

• Post questions or proposals as Jira issue comments
• Wait for approval via comment reply or issue transition (e.g., "Approved" status)
• Parse approver identity and timestamp
• Integrate with the expanded QuestionService (Expand QuestionService — artifact approvals, roles, and new question types #29)
• May use existing Atlassian MCP tools or direct API

Acceptance Criteria

• Questions can be posted as Jira issue comments
• Approvals detected via comment reply or issue transition
• Approver identity and timestamp captured
• Integrated with QuestionService as a delivery channel
• Tested with real Jira instance

Related Issues

• Depends on Expand QuestionService — artifact approvals, roles, and new question types #29 (QuestionService expansion)

@EnmaJim Please align with @andresharpe what has already been done.

@ProtonPump I think we need to get the event and listener thing going then do this. It's going to need a webhook listener via the Mothership.

Let's hold this one

@EnmaJim removing the assignment for now since we have not had any progress.
