Need

iw issue create must give machine-readable output: the new issue's id and URL (for example with --json), so that a program can read them without parsing human text.

Why

In procedures, the dashboard dispatches work to the kanon loops by filing an issue with ./iw issue create. It must record the new issue's id on the delegation record at once, because it later reads the issue by that id to know when the work is done. Parsing the human-readable output is fragile.

What we expect

iw issue create --title ... --description ... --json prints one JSON object, for example {"id": "...", "number": N, "url": "..."}, and nothing else on stdout.
Exit codes do not change.

Reference

Type: feature
Filed from: /home/mph/ops/procedures-agent-delegation on branch agent-delegation
