Motivation:
The existing --parent flag only shows direct children in a flat list,
but users often need to see the complete hierarchy including grandchildren
and deeper levels. This limitation made it difficult to understand the
full scope of work under an epic or parent issue.
Key changes:
- Enhanced list command to detect --tree --parent combination
- Implemented recursive parent filtering instead of GetDependencyTree
- Added DRY refactoring with withStorage() and getHierarchicalChildren() helpers
- Eliminated duplication between daemon and direct modes
- Added comprehensive test coverage with TestHierarchicalChildren
- Fixed cross-repository compatibility issues
Side-effects:
- No breaking changes: existing --parent behavior unchanged
- --tree --parent now shows hierarchical tree instead of flat list
- Parent issue is included as root of the displayed tree
- Works consistently across all repositories and storage modes
- Improved code maintainability with DRY architecture
- Better test coverage ensures reliability and prevents regressions
