Add graphql endpoints for Linkable -> Workflows, and Workflows -> Linkables
Create GraphQL endpoints to:
1. Get all workflows given a Linkable (e.g. given an issue, find all workflows created from it)
2. Get all Linkables given a workflow (e.g. get all MRs created from a Workflow)
## Proposal
### Design decision
We will not expose a single merged "all linkables" connection. Instead, each linkable type gets its own field. This keeps every connection single-table, so pagination is trivial (standard keyset,
no cross-table UNION, no composite cursor, no union type, no per-type batch-loading), and each field's linkType filter can use that join model's own enum directly.
### Query 1 — Linkable → Workflows
Add a linkedDuoWorkflows(linkType:) field to each linkable's GraphQL type (starting with WorkItemType), backed by the existing linked_duo_workflows association. Optional linkType filter scopes the
join table.
### Query 2 — Workflow → Linkables
Add per-type fields to WorkflowType: workItemLinks(linkType:), and later mergeRequestLinks, pipelineLinks, noteLinks. Each is a single-table connection with an optional linkType filter.
- The "filter by linkable class" requirement is satisfied by choosing which field to query.
- All fields are backed by one generic resolver class parameterized by the join model, driven off the JOIN_MODELS registry — so adding a linkable type = new join model + one field declaration, no
new resolver.
### Query 3 — Linkable → Workflows → Linkables
No new query needed. GraphQL composes nested fields, so this falls out for free by nesting Query 2's field inside Query 1's:
```graphql
{
workItem(id: ID) {
linkedDuoWorkflows {
nodes {
workItemLinks { nodes { linkType workItem { iid } } }
}
}
}
}
```
