/ship Step 19: gh pr edit fails on repos with deprecated GraphQL Projects classic fields #1079
Description
On some accounts/repos, gh pr edit issues a GraphQL query that still references repository.pullRequest.projectCards (a deprecated Projects-classic field) and hard-errors with:
GraphQL: Projects (classic) is being deprecated in favor of the new Projects experience, see: https://github.blog/changelog/2024-05-23-sunset-notice-projects-classic/. (repository.pullRequest.projectCards)
Repro: on a repo where this deprecation is enforced, run /ship on a feature branch that already has an open PR. Step 19 (PR body update) fails.
Workaround: the REST API path works reliably and is simpler:
gh api -X PATCH repos/owner/repo/pulls/N -F body=@body.md -f title="..."Fix suggestion: swap gh pr edit → gh api -X PATCH in /ship Step 19 for existing-PR updates. Same for gh pr create in the no-existing-PR path — gh api -X POST repos/owner/repo/pulls avoids the GraphQL path entirely.
Environment: gh CLI 2.x, observed on earino/resumasher during /ship on branch feat/v0.2-analytics with PR #4 already open. The gh api REST fallback resolved the same operation in the same workflow with no changes to payload.

@earino Existing pull requests still use gh pr edit, so repositories with deprecated Projects classic fields continue to fail.

Fixed in fork-port wave 2: /ship now falls back to the GitHub REST API when
gh pr edittrips the Projects-classic GraphQL deprecation, so the PR-body update step completes on repos with deprecated classic Projects fields.Commit:
