Related Issue Finder (`yt-issue-reviewer`)

A run-on-demand CLI that helps a team lead find related issues across a YouTrack instance — probable duplicates, issues about the same feature/root cause, and issues with overlapping subject matter worded differently — so they can be merged, recognized, and consolidated.

📖 Documentation: https://yt-issue-reviewer.readthedocs.io/

Privacy & boundaries (non-negotiable)

Read-only against YouTrack. This tool never links, merges, tags, or closes issues.
Self-hosted Ollama only for embeddings and optional labels. Issue content never leaves infrastructure you control; there is no third-party hosted-AI fallback.
All YouTrack access goes through the youtrack_cli package (the yt CLI).

How it works

Ingest issues via yt and cache them locally in SQLite (Datasette-friendly).
Embed title+description via Ollama, caching vectors on (issue_id, content_hash, model) so unchanged issues are never re-embedded.
Score relatedness = weighted blend of semantic cosine similarity + local structural signals (shared tags, reporter overlap, temporal proximity).
Group high-scoring pairs into ranked groups (existing YouTrack links excluded).
Report ranked groups with human-readable evidence; optionally add a flag-gated, generated one-line label per group.

Quickstart

uv sync
uv run yt-issue-reviewer doctor --ollama-host http://<host>:11434
uv run yt-issue-reviewer analyze --project PROJ --state open --min-score 0.6 --db ./yir.db
uv run yt-issue-reviewer show --db ./yir.db      # re-display a stored run, offline
datasette ./yir.db                                # browse results externally

Prerequisites: uv, an authenticated youtrack-cli, and a reachable self-hosted Ollama with nomic-embed-text pulled. Full walkthrough in the quickstart.
