"Failed to reach GitHub API. Check GITHUB_TOKEN." (and the equivalent
Gitea message) pointed at the token every time, even when the real cause
was something else entirely — confirmed live twice in one debugging
session: once a GitHub-side 503 outage, once a Gitea account locked
behind a must-change-password 403. Both times the fix was to run the
same curl by hand to see the actual status/response.
Fold that same probe into the script itself: on failure, re-request with
-i and print the HTTP status and response body directly, so the failure
mode (bad token vs. remote outage vs. account lock vs. network/DNS) is
visible immediately instead of requiring a manual curl round-trip.
