Bug

fj issue edit <n> --add-assignee <user> returns error: not found: <owner>/<repo> #<n> for an issue that demonstrably EXISTS (fj issue view <n> and fj issue list both show it fine).

Repro (2026-06-14, usw-dev-01)

  • Created rasterstate/paragon #491 via fj issue create (succeeded, returned the URL).
  • fj issue view 491 --repo rasterstate/paragon -> shows the issue OK.
  • fj issue list --repo rasterstate/paragon -> #491 listed OK.
  • fj issue edit 491 --repo rasterstate/paragon --add-assignee stephen -> error: not found: rasterstate/paragon #491 (retried twice, same).

Expected

The assignee is added (stephen is the repo owner / a valid assignable user).

Notes

  • Other edit operations not tested in this session; the failure is specifically the assignee-edit code path returning a spurious not-found.
  • Same box has other known fj quirks (fj#103 run-log auth, fj#147 headless auth) - may or may not be related.
  • Workaround used: posted an @mention comment and asked the user to self-assign in the web UI.
