Research direction

The issue identifies ghapi's current DeviceAuth support and requests GitHub App Authentication, but names no files, entry points, or tests. Start by locating the existing DeviceAuth implementation and determine the App Authentication scope; done means ghapi supports App Authentication alongside DeviceAuth.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently ghapi only supports DeviceAuth. It would be helpful if it could also support App Authentication.
