GITHUB_ISSUE_BODY must be set

Error message

GITHUB_ISSUE_BODY must be set

What it means

Guard in the issue-triage script: it reads the GitHub issue body from GITHUB_ISSUE_BODY (injected by the workflow) to classify a bug report by its [TestCommand]/[BuildCommand]/etc. checkboxes. It fires when the script is run outside that workflow context, leaving nothing to classify.

Solutions

1. Set GITHUB_ISSUE_BODY to the issue body text before running
2. Run the script from the GitHub workflow that provides the variable
