Description

The HTML input seems to include validation for GitHub's Personal Access Tokens (PATs). GitHub has introduced fine-grained PATs, which have a different format.

To provide the users of the extension a bit more fine-grained control over the PATs, it would be beneficial to introduce support for those.

Research direction
Examine the HTML input field in source/options.html at line 18 to understand the current token validation. Review GitHub's announcement on fine grained PAT format (linked in the issue). Then update the validation regex to accept both classic and fine grained token formats, and ensure the token is correctly handled by the extension's backend logic if needed. Check the issue comments for any additional context or requirements from maintainers.
