What this PR does

  • Adds GitHub authentication support via --auth flag and GITHUB_TOKEN
  • Handles GitHub API rate-limit errors gracefully with clear user guidance
  • Documents recommended usage to avoid unauthenticated rate limits

Why

Unauthenticated GitHub API usage is limited to ~50 requests per hour, which
can cause failures during testing and for contributors. This change improves
developer experience while keeping authentication optional for normal users.
