What to do

GitHub returned 404

Either the resource is private, doesn't exist, or your filter values don't match a real resource.

Try a known public repo (anomalyco/opencode, sst/opencode, octocat/Hello-World)

GitHub returned 404

upstream.not_found

Either the resource is private, doesn't exist, or your filter values don't match a real resource.

Confirm the resource exists: it may be private, removed, or org-scoped

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.
