Claude Code repo: issues labeled as duplicates without referencing the original

A bug report on Anthropic's Claude Code GitHub repository alleges that the github-actions bot labels issues as duplicates without referencing the original issue, citing issue #79240 as an example where no comment was posted, contrasting with issue #78415 that correctly includes a comment listing the original issues. The reporter requests that when an issue is marked as duplicate, a comment should be posted identifying the original issues.

Description #

Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing issuesand this hasn't been reported yet - This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

Issues are labeled by github-actions bot as duplicates without referencing the original issue.

See an example of the issue #79240 that is labeled as duplicate without a comment explaining what is the original issue this issue os the duplicate of.

Compare the above the issue #78415, which contains the comment listing the original issues.

What Should Happen?

If an issue is labeled as duplicate, a comment should be posted that includes information which are the original issues the issue is a duplicate of.
