Problem
The feature request template captures the proposed direction, but it does not ask requesters to record the repository's execution metadata that reviewers now expect: related GitHub/Beads tracking, dependency or stacking constraints, UI/screenshot proof needs, and concrete validation lane.
That gap matters for the React Flow parity roadmap because feature requests often become stacked issues/PRs. Without those fields, maintainers have to reconstruct whether a request is independent, blocked by an earlier phase, UI-affecting, or docs-only.
Scope
Update only .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.md with concise sections for:
- related GitHub issue / Beads issue, when known
- dependency, stacking, or parallelism notes
- UI/screenshot impact classification
- expected verification lane or proof marker
- out-of-scope boundaries
Do not touch product code, active React Flow parity docs, serialization docs, project status docs, or PR template files.
Acceptance Criteria
- The feature request template asks for related issue/bead traceability, dependencies/parallelism, UI/screenshot impact, validation/proof, and explicit non-goals.
- The wording stays short enough for ordinary external feature requests.
- The change is isolated to
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.md.
- Whitespace/Markdown sanity checks pass.
Parallelism / Dependencies
Independent of PR #200, PR #261, PR #263, PR #265, and the whiteboard stacked PR line because it touches a separate GitHub issue template file only.
