arc53-machine 03d1b10897 Sync Linear issues and documents into Knowledge with the Linear sign-in
The Linear connector now syncs as well as giving agents its tools, from
one connection. Linear's MCP server is its own OAuth issuer, so its
tokens are read through the same MCP tools the agents use (list_issues,
get_issue, list_comments, list_documents) rather than Linear's GraphQL
API, and no OAuth app has to be registered.

A source picks teams and projects, with comments (on by default) and the
projects' documents. Each issue becomes one document with its state,
assignee, priority, labels, description and comments, filed under its
team and citing its Linear URL. Each sync reads up to 500 issues and 100
documents again. /api/connections/<id>/linear lists the teams and
projects to pick from. Sources sync on their schedule with the owner's
connection, and pause when the sign-in needs reconnecting.

"""Linear through its MCP server: what a sync can pick, and reading issues and documents.
Linear's hosted MCP server (``mcp.linear.app``) is its own OAuth issuer, and
the tokens it grants are for that server. Knowledge sync therefore reads
Linear through the same MCP tools the agents use (``list_issues``,
``get_issue``, ``list_comments``, ``list_documents``...), signed in with the
Linear connection, so one sign-in powers both and nobody registers an OAuth
app. Linear publishes no output schema for these tools, so records are read
defensively: a value may be a string or an object with a ``name``.
