The context was cancelled before its error was checked, so any failure
looked like a timeout and private repositories never offered sign-in.
Clone handling moves into cloneRepo, which checks for DeadlineExceeded
specifically, with tests for success, failure with token masking, and
timeout.
/api/github/login redirects to GitHub with a single-use state bound to
the session; the callback exchanges the code for a user token kept in
memory and expired with it. Clones pass the token through git config
in the environment, never the URL or arguments, and ignore host git
config and credential helpers. Failed clones report authRequired
(signin or install) so the frontend can offer the right next step.
Configured with GITHUB_CLIENT_ID, GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET, GITHUB_APP_SLUG.
