When creating a new product from the lookup modal, no corresponding `ww-product` GH Issue is created. This means the product only exists locally in SQLite and disappears from its assigned card on the next sync cycle, since sync overwrites local data with what's in GitHub.

## Expected Behavior

Creating a product from the lookup modal should:
1. Write the product to local SQLite (already happens)
2. Create a `ww-product` GH Issue so the product persists across syncs
3. Store the issue number on the product row so future updates can write back
