Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported startup command with GITHUB_TOKEN set, then inspect the attached main-logs.txt for authentication-related failures. Compare the expected GitHub Actions and Pull Requests login behavior with the actual sign-in prompt; done means the token is recognized without an interactive sign-in.
