Error message capitalization is inconsistent. The message "failed to list issues" uses lowercase "failed", while other nearby error messages in this file use uppercase "Failed" (e.g., "Failed to get issue labels" at line 518, "Failed to find issues" at line 1265). For consistency, this should use "Failed to list issues" with an uppercase F to match the existing pattern in this file.
