GitHub App check now returns default branch and transient status

What

The internal GitHub App preflight check now returns the repository's default branch (when available from the API response) and a transient flag distinguishing permanent failures from those that might succeed on retry.

Details
  • defaultBranch: populated from repo.default_branch in the API response; used by the remote agent to avoid reusing the default branch as its work branch
  • transient: true: network errors, timeouts (408, 429), and null-response profile fetches
  • transient: false: deterministic failures like missing token scopes or 4xx non-rate-limit responses
  • Improved log message when org UUID is missing: distinguishes between "profile fetch null (possibly transient)" and "token lacks user:profile scope (deterministic)"
Evidence

GitHub App check refactor (search for "checkGithubAppInstalled: No org UUID found (token lacks user:profile scope")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
