ci: default Prime Agent tickets to Research

[sethkarten]

Context

Prime Agent work now belongs in the Research team's Prime Agent: Long-Horizon research project, but the GitHub Linear check only recognizes bare ENG-* IDs and its examples direct contributors to Engineering.

Linear: https://linear.app/primeintellect/issue/RES-1241/default-prime-agent-pull-requests-to-research-linear-tickets

Changes

• Accept only RES-* ticket references in PR titles, descriptions, branch names, and Linear issue URLs.
• Use RES-1234 and res-1234 in failure guidance.
• Restore the explicit No-Ticket: <short reason> opt-out.
• Point new Prime Agent work to Research and Prime Agent: Long-Horizon research in the workflow and PR template.

This validates the Research ticket prefix and updates the default guidance. GitHub Actions cannot verify Linear project membership without a Linear API secret.

Validation

• Parsed .github/workflows/linear-ticket.yml as YAML.
• Tested bare and linked RES-* tickets, rejected ENG-* tickets, valid opt-outs, malformed opt-outs, and missing-ticket cases with Node.js.
• Ran git diff --check origin/main...HEAD.

Note

Low Risk
Documentation and PR-check regex/message changes only; no runtime product or auth logic.

Overview
Updates the Linear ticket GitHub Action and PR template so Prime Agent work is steered toward Research (RES-*) tickets and the Prime Agent: Long-Horizon research project, while still accepting legacy ENG-* IDs.

The workflow regex now matches bare res- / eng- prefixes (plus existing Linear URLs). Failure text and template comments use RES-1234 / res-1234 examples and Research project guidance instead of Engineering-only wording.

Note

Require 'RES-' ticket prefix for Prime Agent PRs and add opt-out

• Updates linear-ticket.yml to only accept res-<num> tickets or linear.app links, dropping support for eng-<num> or other prefixes
• Introduces a No-Ticket: line check in the PR body to explicitly bypass the Linear ticket requirement
• Updates PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md with instructions for the Research team and Prime Agent: Long-Horizon project
• Behavioral Change: The CI check now fails for ENG- or other non-RES prefixes unless a No-Ticket: line is present
