Queries need to update to support a change to the GitHub API (Sep 4 2025)

[GuySartorelli]

From an email set out from GitHub:

On September 4, 2025, all issue queries using the API will use advanced search. Currently, advanced search using the API is opt-in as noted in the changelog.

The main syntax change to be aware of for advanced search is that a space between multiple repo, org, and user filter qualifiers is treated as an AND operator as noted in the documentation. Currently without advanced search, a space is treated as an OR operator.

For example, a query org:A repo:B will return any issues belonging to both org A and repo B. Without advanced search, this query returns issues belonging to either org A or repo B.

Elvis uses spaces to mean "or" in its queries, so this needs to be updated.

Acceptance criteria

• When "or" should be used in a query, an explicit OR operator is used
• When "and" should be used in a query, an explicit AND operator is used

PRs

• ENH Explicitly use OR and AND for GraphQL queries #166

Looks good for now, will keep this open and review once GitHub API changes have gone through.
