Orgs that use GitHub issue types want to encode them in branch names (e.g.

issueType { name }on theIssueBasefragment inqueries.gqlandqueriesExtra.gql. SkippedqueriesLimited.gqlsince older GHES versions may not expose the field.issueTypethroughGraphQL.Issue, the parsedIssueinterface, andparseGraphQLIssue.variableSubstitution: add three new cases —issueType(raw),sanitizedIssueType, andsanitizedLowercaseIssueType— mirroring the existing${issueTitle}family.
