description: Move a Jira issue to another project using Jira's native move semantics with jirac (not clone+delete)

Move an issue across projects using `jirac`. This uses Jira's native move — the issue keeps its history, comments, attachments, and worklogs. This is different from `clone --move`, which creates a new key and deletes the original.

Steps: 1. Check that `jirac` is available by running `jirac --version`. If missing, tell the user to install it (`cargo install jira-commands`). 2. Extract from the user's request:

  • source issue key
  • target project key
  • target issue type (optional — defaults to the current issue type name in the destination)

3. Confirm intent — moves can drop incompatible custom-field values and reassign workflow. 4. Run `jirac issue move <KEY> <PROJECT> [--issue-type <TYPE>]`. 5. Report the new key (Jira always re-keys on move) and link to view it with `jirac issue view <NEW_KEY>`.

Notes:

  • Issue **key changes** (PROJ-123 → OTHER-45 or similar).
  • Comments, attachments, worklogs, links, and history are **preserved**.
  • If the target project does not have the same issue type, pass `--issue-type` with the closest equivalent (e.g. `Task`).
  • Use `change-type` instead when staying inside the same project.

Examples:

  • "move PROJ-123 to OTHER project" → `jirac issue move PROJ-123 OTHER`
  • "move PROJ-50 to NEW project as a Task" → `jirac issue move PROJ-50 NEW --issue-type Task`
