• User asks "update status of issue"
• User asks "put this in the backlog"
• After creating a new issue (auto-add to board)
• After completing work (move to Done)

gh api graphql -f query='
query {
  organization(login: "rollercoaster-dev") {
    projectV2(number: 11) {
      id
      field(name: "Status") {
        ... on ProjectV2SingleSelectField {
          id
          options { id name }
        }
