WalkthroughAuthenticated GitHub repository lookups now use a token, classify rate-limit failures, return HTTP 429, propagate a dedicated error code, and render a retryable busy state in the Ask GitHub page. ChangesGitHub rate-limit flow

- Around line 159-161: Protect the /api/experimental/add-github-repo endpoint
with mandatory authentication before constructing the Octokit client or
performing any GitHub lookup. Replace the optional-auth behavior with the
backend’s required-auth guard and reject unauthenticated requests; preserve the
existing authenticated repository persistence and indexing flow.
In `@packages/backend/src/errors.ts`:
- Around line 43-48: The rate-limit classifier must inspect wrapped errors
consistently with getStatus. Update the logic around the responseHeaders and
message extraction to read metadata from cause.response and the wrapped error
message as well as the top-level fields, preserving existing top-level handling;
add a regression test covering a wrapped GitHub 403 with rate-limit metadata and
verifying it is classified as HTTP 429.

Summary
Test plan
Note
Medium Risk
Changes GitHub API auth and error classification for the experimental Ask GH add-repo path; misclassification could still surface wrong errors, but scope is limited and failures are user-recoverable rather than data or auth core paths.
Overview
Ask GitHub repository lookups now use the configured
EXPERIMENT_ASK_GH_GITHUB_TOKENwhen calling GitHub’s API, instead of unauthenticated Octokit requests.When GitHub returns primary or secondary rate limits, the worker API responds with 429 instead of a generic failure. The web layer maps that to a new
GITHUB_RATE_LIMITEDservice error, and the Ask GH repo page shows a recoverable “GitHub is temporarily busy” state with a Try again action (router.refresh()).Backend adds
isGitHubRateLimitError(429, 403 with rate-limit headers/message) with tests; the new UI component has a test for the retry button.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit db5339f. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
