Function searchGitHub

internal/cli/management.go:323–433

searchGitHub queries the GitHub Code Search API for manifest files matching the query, using parallel search strategies mirroring gh skill search: - content match: filename: - path match: filename: path: - owner match: filename: user: (

(kind entities.Kind, query, owner string, limit int)

//   - owner match: filename:<manifest> user:<query> (when query looks like a GitHub user)
//   - hyphen match: filename:<manifest> <hyphenated-query> (when query has spaces)
