GitHub user Yicong-Huang created a discussion: Enforce PR template compliance 
and require related issue/discussion reference

### Task Summary

Many pull requests are not following the PR template well, especially the "Any 
related issues, documentation, discussions?" section. In multiple PRs, there is 
no linked issue/discussion (e.g., `#1234`), which makes review and traceability 
harder.

### Why this is a bad practice
- It weakens traceability: reviewers cannot easily connect code changes to the 
original problem statement or decision context.
- It slows down review: missing context forces reviewers/maintainers to ask 
follow-up questions and increases review cycle time.
- It hurts project hygiene: release notes, changelog curation, and future 
maintenance become harder without issue linkage.
- It reduces accountability: unclear ownership/scope makes regressions and 
follow-up fixes harder to track.

### Priority

P1 – High

### Task Type

- [ ] Code Implementation
