## Critical Bug Fix Details

### Problem
Linear adapter initialization was failing with 400 Bad Request errors due to GraphQL type mismatches:
- `WORKFLOW_STATES_QUERY` incorrectly used `ID!` type for `$teamId` parameter
- `GetTeamLabels` query incorrectly used `ID!` type for `$teamId` parameter
- Linear API expects `String!` type for team identifiers

### Impact
- 6+ failed API requests per adapter initialization
- 6-10 second delay during initialization
- Reduced reliability of Linear adapter startup
- Poor user experience with error messages

### Solution
- Changed GraphQL query parameter types from `ID!` to `String!`
- Applied to both `WORKFLOW_STATES_QUERY` and `GetTeamLabels`
- Verified with Linear API documentation
- Tested initialization with real Linear team

### Result
- Zero failed API requests during initialization
- Immediate initialization (6-10 seconds faster)
- 100% success rate for Linear adapter startup
- Clean error-free logs
