Fix update_project: Add type mismatch detection

[Copilot]

The code attempted to use updateProjectV2Field mutation to add options to single-select fields. This mutation does not exist in GitHub's GraphQL API.

Changes

• Removed non-existent mutation calls: Replaced attempts to call updateProjectV2Field with warnings that guide users to manually add options via GitHub Projects UI
• Added field type mismatch detection: Detects when existing fields have incorrect types (DATE/TEXT/SINGLE_SELECT) based on field name heuristics and values, warns users to recreate fields with correct type

Type Detection Heuristics

// Determines expected field type from field name and valueconstisDateField=fieldName.toLowerCase().includes("date")&&/^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$/.test(fieldValue);constisTextField=fieldName.toLowerCase()==="classification"||fieldValue.includes("|");// Otherwise expects SINGLE_SELECT// Warns when actual type doesn't match expectedif(field.dataType!==expectedDataType){core.warning(`Field type mismatch: Expected ${expectedDataType} but found ${field.dataType}`);}

API Limitations

Per GitHub's documentation:

• ✅ createProjectV2Field - Creates fields with initial options
• ✅ updateProjectV2ItemFieldValue - Updates item field values
• ❌ updateProjectV2Field - Does not exist; cannot modify field options via API

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
