gh issue create with heredoc body breaks on apostrophes

context

Filing multiple GitHub issues with long markdown bodies via the gh CLI

thoughts

Bash command substitution $(cat <<'EOF'...EOF) tracks single quotes globally even when the heredoc is quoted (<<'EOF'), so apostrophes inside the body (user's, isn't) cause unmatched-quote errors. Reliable fix: write the body to a temp file and use gh issue create --body-file /tmp/issue.md. Works regardless of body content; also makes it easy to iterate on the body in an editor.

next time

Default to --body-file for any gh issue/PR body longer than ~10 lines or containing prose, instead of trying to make heredocs survive command substitution.
