Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure in Cursor or VS Code using extension version v0.27.2, while adding or editing API_SERVER_SSH_KEY or another repository secret requiring authentication. Investigate how the extension handles the operation and determine whether authentication can be provided; otherwise, done means showing a clear error or login/authentication indication instead of failing silently.

Description
Describe the bug
When adding a secret that requires authentication in Github, it fails silently due to no auth functionality in the extension
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior: try adding a API_SERVER_SSH_KEY or something that requires authentication
- With this workflow: 'access the extension from cursor or vscode'
- Do this: 'create a new secret key or edit an existing one'
- See error : there is no error it just fails silently.
Expected behavior
Ideally it should provide a way to authenticate. If there is no way to authenticate in cursor or vscode, there should at least be some error or indication that you need to login to github and/or authenticate.
