connector-linear-webhook: state change events not normalized (updatedFrom.stateId vs updatedFrom.state) #129

Bug

When Linear sends a webhook payload for an issue state change, updatedFrom contains stateId (a string UUID), not a nested state object:

{
  "action": "update",
  "type": "Issue",
  "updatedFrom": { "stateId": "6737bc0a-cc2e-45c3-9e15-cd68dd7648e5" },
  "data": { "state": { "id": "ddeca416-...", "name": "In Progress", "type": "started" }, ... }
}

The normalizeIssueEvent() method in connector-linear-webhook/dist/source.js checks:

if (updatedFrom.state !== undefined) { ... }

This check fails because the payload has updatedFrom.stateId, not updatedFrom.state. The event falls through to the raw-event builder and produces provenance.platform_event: "issue.update" instead of "issue.state_changed".

Expected

State transitions should be normalized into issue.state_changed events (matching the polling connector's behavior).

Suggested Fix

if (updatedFrom.stateId !== undefined || updatedFrom.state !== undefined) {
  const previousState = updatedFrom.state?.name ?? resolveStateName(updatedFrom.stateId);
  // ...
}

Verified

Tested on @orgloop/[email protected] with a real Linear webhook (ENG-8741 moved from Todo → In Progress). OrgLoop emitted source.emit src=linear but the event hit route.no_match because the provenance.platform_event was not issue.state_changed.
