Solutions

1. Read the wrapped error after 'GetNewlyUnblockedByClose <id>:' for the root cause
2. Verify closedID exists before closing/unblocking logic runs
3. Retry on transient storage errors; check DB connectivity if persistent

if _, err := uc.GetIssue(ctx, closedID); err != nil {
    return fmt.Errorf("closed issue %s not found: %w", closedID, err)
}

func hasID(id string) bool { return strings.TrimSpace(id) != "" }

unblocked, err := uc.GetNewlyUnblockedByClose(ctx, closedID)
if err != nil {
    log.Warnf("unblocked lookup failed for %s: %v", closedID, err)
    return nil
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling GetNewlyUnblockedByClose / GetNewlyUnblockedByCloseWisp with a non-empty closedID whose dependent lookup fails: closedID references a nonexistent issue, the database connection fails, or the blockers/dependencies query errors.

Common situations: Post-close webhooks querying dependents of an issue that was deleted concurrently; Dolt connection reset during the query; stale ID cached from a previous session pointing at a purged issue.
