GitHub issue links — mandatory

Whenever a GitHub issue number appears as #NNNN (4+ digits) in report HTML or markdown, wrap it in a link.

HTML

<a href="https://github.com/thunderbird/{repo}/issues/{n}" target="_blank">#{n}</a>

Default repo: thunderbird-android (mobile / Play Store friction, Android eng tracking).

Use context to pick the repo when obvious:

• thunderbird-android — Android app, K-9, push/sync, spam, crashes, QR import
• thunderbird — desktop Thunderbird (rare in monthly Android sections)
• thunderbird-accounts — Thundermail auth, portal, subscriber identity
• appointment, tbpro-add-on, mailstrom, stormbox — TB Pro suite when cited by name

Markdown

Same URL pattern: [#11056](https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/issues/11056)

Do NOT link

Before commit

Grep the month's deliverables for bare #\d{4,} outside href= / issues/:

rg '#\d{4,}' reports/monthly/YYYY/<month>* lisa/YYYY/<month>* --glob '!*compare*'

Link any GitHub issue hits; leave ranking/SUMO/Zendesk/CSS hits alone.
