Issue has no current execution workspace

Error message

Issue has no current execution workspace

What it means

Runtime lookup failure from getIssueWorkspaceRuntime (exposed via paperclipGetIssueWorkspaceRuntime): the requested issue exists but has no currently attached execution workspace/lease, so there are no runtime services or URLs to report. Typically fires when the issue has not started, its workspace was already released, or the workspace runtime is between leases.

Solutions

1. Check out/start a run for the issue so an execution workspace exists before calling workspace tools.
