Research direction

Start at the implementation of gh classroom assignments --web and compare its browser-opening behavior with the gh auth login example. Make the assignment-list flow provide the browser URL when opening is unavailable or the terminal is headless, then verify that the URL is still shown alongside the existing assignment output.
