Notes

• Worklog commands use Jira's worklog/updated + worklog/list combo and may take a few seconds on large projects.
• hours filters by JIRA_EMAIL; hours-day returns all users with totals per issue and user.
• Outputs for hours commands are JSON for reuse in other tools.
• Status transitions are validated against the server-provided transition list before applying.
