### [BUG] Copilot permission hook blocks ~65 seconds when no GitKraken client responds

### Description

GitKraken Desktop 12.5.0 installed a blocking `PermissionRequest` hook for GitHub Copilot CLI:

MCP server reports "must be authenticated" while gk auth login shows an active login (Windows)

  4. Run gk mcp via an MCP client and call any tool

Expected

Tools return data.

[MCP] issues_create for Jira posts the Markdown body as literal text (no ADF / wiki-markup conversion)

This is a GitKraken MCP server issue (the issues_create / issues_add_comment tools), not a gk CLI command issue.

Summary

issues_create with provider: "jira" sends body to Jira Cloud as a plain string. Jira Cloud does not parse Markdown server-side, so the description arrives as a single unformatted paragraph: headings, bold, tables, fenced code blocks and lists all render as literal ##, **, |---| and backtick characters, and every line break collapses into a space.…
