`github.instances`

fail

List instances of a code scanning alert

Requires owner, repo, and alert_number. Most useful optional filters: ref, pr. Keep queries repository-scoped; fan out across repos client-side when you need broader coverage.

What to do

GitHub returned 429

upstream.rate_limit

Personal tokens get 60 req/hr unauthenticated and 5000/hr authenticated. App tokens get 5000/hr.

Wait the retry window (60–1300s) and re-run

GitHub returned 429

upstream.rate_limit

Personal tokens get 60 req/hr unauthenticated and 5000/hr authenticated. App tokens get 5000/hr.

Use a token with higher rate-limit budget (GH Apps get 5000/hr vs personal 60/hr)

Retry with alternate repos

retry-strategy

If the failure is 404 on `anomalyco/opencode`, try `sst/opencode` or `octocat/Hello-World`. The retry script does this automatically.
