Adds a new FAQ entry under the Workflow Design section answering the common question of how to direct the agent to use a branch name embedded in a Jira issue description, rather than creating a new one.

Change type: New FAQ entry

Covers two patterns:

  • push-to-pull-request-branch for pushing to an existing PR's branch
  • preserve-branch-name + recreate-ref on create-pull-request for named branch creation/force-update
