Error message

sortField must be 'updated' when provided

  // Reopen the closed isolated workspace that a guard found, so the request can
  // continue. The return value tells the caller what happened:
  //   "reopened"    - this request rebuilt the workspace and set the
  //                   reopen-pending flag. The caller must install the
  //                   consumption guard so the flag cannot leak.
  //   "already-open" - a concurrent request already reopened the workspace, so
  //                   this request did not set the flag. The caller continues but
  //                   must not install the guard, or it can clear the flag that
  //                   the other request still owns.
  //   null          - this function sent an error response, so the caller stops.
  // The reopen is scoped to the issue company and project inside the service, and
  // it runs only after the route already authorized the request on the issue.
