emulate adds Linear API sandbox

Vercel Labs' emulate v0.7.0 adds a stateful Linear emulator with GraphQL reads and writes, OAuth/PKCE, signed webhooks, seeded issues/projects/cycles, and a local inspector for state and delivery debugging.

// ANALYSIS

This is niche infrastructure, but it hits a real pain point for AI agent builders: testing workflow integrations without live SaaS accounts, rate limits, or flaky webhooks.

  • Linear is becoming a common control plane for coding agents, so local issue/comment/project emulation makes agent test suites more realistic.
  • GraphQL mutations updating in-memory state are more useful than static mocks because SDK behavior, pagination, auth, and webhook delivery can be exercised together.
  • Signed Linear-shaped webhooks matter for CI because teams can test verification and retry paths without exposing tunnels or touching production secrets.
  • The limits are clear: this is not full Linear parity, so teams still need contract tests against the real API for edge cases.
