Pull request overview
Improves resilience of get_latest_github_commits() by handling revoked/expired GitHub tokens from Secret Manager and falling back to unauthenticated GitHub API access (sufficient for this public repository), instead of failing and returning None.
Changes:
- Import
BadCredentialsExceptionfromgithub. - Catch
BadCredentialsExceptionfrom the authenticatedget_repo()call and retry with an unauthenticated GitHub client.

The GitHub token in Secret Manager has expired/been revoked, causing
get_latest_github_commits()to fail with401 Bad credentialsand returnNone.Since the repo is public, unauthenticated access is sufficient. The fix catches
BadCredentialsExceptionand retries without auth rather than failing entirely.Changes
