Description

As noted in #41496, if we're closing Issues/resolving Discussions as part of PRs, we should have a CI check that catches this and makes sure that we don't forget to clean things up in the same PR.

git grep '#[0-9][0-9]*$'

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a CI job or step that runs `git grep '#[0-9][0-9]*$'` on the branch and fails if any lines match, ensuring TODOs with issue numbers are removed or resolved in the same PR.
