## Key Features

1. **Smart Pattern Detection**
   - Triggers on: `"-" in view_id and len(view_id) > 12`
   - User's URL (30 chars, has hyphens): ✅ Detected
   - Issue IDs (e.g., "BTA-123"): ✅ Not affected
   - UUIDs without hyphens: ✅ Not affected

2. **Graceful API Failure Handling**
   - When API fails: Returns minimal view object
   - Still provides helpful error message
   - No crashes or confusing None returns

3. **Adaptive Error Messages**
   - API success: Shows actual view name and issue count
   - API failure: Shows generic name but still helpful
   - Always provides actionable alternatives

4. **Zero Regressions**
   - Issue IDs: Still work ✅
   - Project IDs: Still work ✅
   - Other URL types: Still work ✅
