+## Parallel Issue Sync with Worker Threads (2026-04-28)
+<!-- updated: 2026-04-28_11:30:00 -->
+
+Added `worker_threads`-based parallel issue sync to dramatically reduce wall-clock time for large projects (e.g., Angular Framework with 31,622 issues — from ~90 minutes to ~5-10 minutes).
+
+**Problem:** Issue sync was bottlenecked on SonarCloud API response times. A single Node.js process with `mapConcurrent` at concurrency=20 couldn't push past 20 concurrent HTTP requests, and the single event loop serialized callback processing.
+
+**Solution:** For projects with ≥500 matched pairs, spawn N worker threads (default 20) using `worker_threads` with `eval: true` (SEA-compatible — no file system access needed). Each worker runs self-contained inline code using only Node.js built-in `https`/`http` modules, with an internal concurrency pool of 5 issues each. Total concurrent API calls: 20×5 = 100 (vs 20 previously).
+
+**Design decisions:**
+- `eval: true` workers with inline code string — works inside the SEA binary without `require()` access to bundled modules
+- Round-robin partitioning distributes "heavy" issues (many comments/transitions) evenly across workers
+- Exponential backoff retry (3 attempts, 1s/2s/4s) in each worker handles 429 rate limiting
+- Falls back to existing `mapConcurrent` path for <500 matched pairs (worker spawn overhead not worth it)
+- Worker count and per-worker concurrency are configurable
+
+**Files changed:**
+- `src/shared/utils/concurrency/helpers/parallel-issue-sync.js` — new file: parent orchestrator + inline worker code
+- `src/shared/utils/concurrency/index.js` — added `parallelSyncIssues` export
+- `src/pipelines/sq-2025/sonarcloud/migrators/issue-sync/index.js` — conditional parallel dispatch for ≥500 pairs

+### Parallel Issue Sync with Worker Threads
+<!-- updated: 2026-04-25_20:30:00 -->
+
+For large projects (≥500 matched issue pairs), issue sync is parallelized across `worker_threads` to overcome the single event loop bottleneck:
+
+- **`parallelSyncIssues()`** — Spawns N worker threads (default 20), each with an internal concurrency pool of 5, achieving **100 concurrent API calls** (vs 20 with single-process `mapConcurrent`)
+- **SEA-compatible**: Workers use `eval: true` with inline code (~200 lines) using only Node.js built-in `https`/`http` modules — no file system access or bundled module `require()` needed
+- **Round-robin partitioning**: Distributes matched pairs evenly across workers so "heavy" issues (many comments/transitions) don't cluster
+- **Rate limit resilience**: Each worker retries with exponential backoff (3 attempts, 1s/2s/4s) on 429/transient errors
+- **Configurable**: `workerCount` (default 20) and `concurrencyPerWorker` (default 5) are tunable
+- **Automatic fallback**: Projects with <500 matched pairs use the existing `mapConcurrent` path
+
+| Parameter | Default | Effect |
+|-----------|---------|--------|
+| `workerCount` | 20 | Number of worker threads |
+| `concurrencyPerWorker` | 5 | Concurrent issues per worker |
+| Total concurrent requests | 100 | `workerCount × concurrencyPerWorker` |
+| Activation threshold | 500 | Minimum matched pairs to trigger parallel sync |

+### Parallel Issue Sync (≥500 matched pairs)
+<!-- updated: 2026-04-25_20:30:00 -->
+
+When the matched pair count reaches 500+, the syncer switches from single-process `mapConcurrent` to `worker_threads`-based parallelism (`src/shared/utils/concurrency/helpers/parallel-issue-sync.js`):
+
+1. **Partition** — Matched pairs are distributed round-robin across 20 workers (~1,581 each for 31K issues)
+2. **Spawn** — Each worker is a `Worker` with `eval: true`, receiving a self-contained code string that uses only `https`/`http` built-ins (SEA-compatible)
+3. **Execute** — Each worker runs 5 concurrent issue syncs internally (status transitions, assignment, comments, tags, source link)
+4. **Aggregate** — Parent collects progress messages and merges final stats from all workers
+
+Total concurrent API calls: 20 workers × 5 internal = **100** (vs 20 with single-process). Each worker includes exponential backoff retry for 429/transient errors.
