description: Run mixed Jira operations (create, update, transition, archive) from a single JSON manifest file using jirac batch

Run mixed Jira operations in batch using `jirac`.

Steps: 1. Check that `jirac` is available by running `jirac --version`. If it is missing, tell the user to install it with `cargo install jira-commands`. 2. Build a JSON manifest array from the user's request. Each object needs an `"op"` field:

• `"create"` — same fields as bulk-create manifest (`project`, `summary`, `type`, etc.)
• `"update"` — `key` + fields to update (`summary`, `priority`, `assignee`, etc.)
• `"transition"` — `key` + `to` (transition name or ID)
• `"archive"` — `key`

3. Save the manifest to a temp file (e.g. `/tmp/ops.json`). 4. Run `jirac issue batch --manifest /tmp/ops.json`. 5. Report the per-op result summary.

Manifest format:

[
  { "op": "create",     "project": "PROJ", "summary": "New task", "type": "Task" },
  { "op": "update",     "key": "PROJ-10",  "priority": "High", "assignee": "me" },
  { "op": "transition", "key": "PROJ-11",  "to": "Done" },
  { "op": "archive",    "key": "PROJ-12" }
]

Examples:

• "create a task and close two other issues in one go" → build batch manifest, run `jirac issue batch --manifest /tmp/ops.json`
• "run these mixed Jira ops from this list" → build manifest from the list, run `jirac issue batch --manifest /tmp/ops.json`
