The terminal's issue screen edits an issue's title and body with `e`, as the page does #7235

For: the owner fixes an issue's words from the terminal. Today the page and MCP edit can; the terminal can only comment.

editIssue (src/actions/issues.ts:227) is reached from the page and MCP edit. src/tui/screens/issue.ts binds comment, assign, close, reopen, labels, teams and private repo, but not edit.

Done:

  • [ ] For someone editIssue allows, e opens the title and body in the terminal's long-form editor (the one comments use). ctrl+d saves, and esc discards without asking when nothing changed.
  • [ ] The TAKEN_UP refusal, and any other, reads in the action's words, and the screen keeps the draft.
  • [ ] A new test/tui-issue-edit.test.ts covers: edit and save, the page then shows the new title, discard then nothing changed, and a reader without e.

Files: src/tui/screens/issue.ts, one test. Risk: low.
