Amp is now an agent in Linear.

Assigning an issue to Amp starts a new [Agent Session](https://linear.app/developers/agent-interaction#agent-session) in Linear and spawns a new orb. You can also mention @Amp to kick off a session. Amp sends its response back to the same session and replies to messages sent along the way. The Agent Session also appears in your Amp sidebar and is fully viewable in Amp.

Assign Amp an issue in Linear.
