+ * linear-delivery-tick: one tick of the Linear Delivery Loop.
+ *
+ * Every enrolled Linear project (opt-in project label) moves issue by issue
+ * through implement, CI, review and merge. The Linear workflow state is the
+ * state machine: each tick reads the state and the pull request, and takes one
+ * action per issue. A human moves Backlog to Todo and approves; GitHub merges,
+ * and the Linear GitHub integration sets Done. The tick never sets Done.
+ *
+ * The decision logic is pure (`decide`, `findPr`, `classifyFailure`,
+ * `settleLastTask`, `createBudget`) and exported for tests. The default export
+ * is the I/O shell. Dry run is the default and writes nothing.
