feat(github): implement PRReader + FileReader client (#80 )

Implement the GitHub API client with PRReader and FileReader interface conformance for both github.com and GitHub Enterprise. New files: - github/client.go: Client struct, NewClient with configurable base URL, HTTP helpers with 429 retry and Retry-After support - github/pr.go: GetPullRequest, GetPullRequestDiff (per-request Accept header), GetPullRequestFiles (paginated, populates Patch field), GetFileContentAtRef (base64 decode), GetCommitStatuses (merges commit statuses + check runs with conclusion mapping) - github/files.go: GetFileContent (delegates to GetFileContentAtRef), ListContents, escapePath, decodeBase64Content helpers Type changes: - vcs/types.go: Add Patch field to ChangedFile struct Tests cover: happy path, 404, 401, 429+retry, malformed response, pagination, binary files, check run conclusion mapping, base64 decoding. Compile-time checks: var _ vcs.PRReader = (*Client)(nil) var _ vcs.FileReader = (*Client)(nil) Exit criteria met: - go test ./github/... passes (all methods) - NewClient with empty baseURL uses https://api.github.com - NewClient with GHE URL targets correctly - GetFileContent delegates to GetFileContentAtRef with empty ref - GetPullRequestFiles paginates and populates Patch field - GetCommitStatuses merges both commit statuses and check-runs

+# GitHub Support for review-bot
+
+## Goal
+
+AI code reviews on GitHub PRs using SAP AI Core as the LLM provider.
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+- Auto-detection of platform (explicit `--provider` flag is fine)
+- Unifying into one abstraction layer for its own sake
+
+## Constraints
+
+1. **Same features on both platforms** — anything review-bot does on Gitea should work on GitHub
+2. **Testable** — small interfaces, dependency injection, no global state
+3. **Interface from working code** — extract from gitea/, don't invent in vacuum
+
+---
+
+## Part 1: Feature Inventory
+
+What does review-bot actually do?
+
+### Core Review Flow
+
+| Feature | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| Get PR metadata | Title, body, head SHA, base ref |
+| Get PR diff | Unified diff format |
+| Get PR files | List of changed files with status |
+| Get file content | Raw file at ref |
+| List directory | Enumerate files in path |
+| Post review | Body + inline comments + verdict |
+
+### Review Management
+
+| Feature | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| List reviews | Get existing reviews on PR |
+| Delete review | Remove old review before re-posting |
+| Get authenticated user | Who am I? |
+
+### Platform-Specific (not in shared interface)
+
+| Feature | Gitea | GitHub |
+|---------|-------|--------|
+| Resolve comment | Yes | No equivalent |
+| Timeline API | Yes | No equivalent |
+
+These stay on gitea.Client directly. Callers that need them type-assert.
+
+---
+
+## Part 2: GitHub API Mapping
+
+| Feature | Gitea API | GitHub API |
+|---------|-----------|------------|
+| Get PR | `GET /api/v1/repos/.../pulls/{n}` | `GET /repos/.../pulls/{n}` |
+| Get diff | `.diff` suffix | `Accept: application/vnd.github.diff` header |
+| Get files | `GET .../pulls/{n}/files` | Same |
+| Get file content | `GET .../raw/{path}?ref=` | `GET .../contents/{path}?ref=` + base64 decode |
+| List directory | `GET .../contents/{path}` | Same |
+| Post review | `POST .../pulls/{n}/reviews` | Same (adapter handles comment schema) |
+| List reviews | `GET .../pulls/{n}/reviews` | Same |
+| Delete review | `DELETE .../pulls/{n}/reviews/{id}` | Same |
+| Get user | `GET /api/v1/user` | `GET /user` |
+
+---
+
+## Part 3: Interface Design
+
+**Principle:** Extract from working gitea/ code. The interface is discovered, not invented.
+
+### Small, role-based interfaces
+
+```go
+// vcs/interfaces.go
+
+type PRReader interface {
+    GetPullRequest(ctx context.Context, owner, repo string, number int) (*PullRequest, error)
+    GetPullRequestDiff(ctx context.Context, owner, repo string, number int) (string, error)
+    GetPullRequestFiles(ctx context.Context, owner, repo string, number int) ([]ChangedFile, error)
+}
+
+type FileReader interface {
+    GetFileContent(ctx context.Context, owner, repo, path, ref string) (string, error)
+    ListContents(ctx context.Context, owner, repo, path string) ([]ContentEntry, error)
+}
+
+type Reviewer interface {
+    PostReview(ctx context.Context, owner, repo string, number int, req ReviewRequest) (*Review, error)
+    ListReviews(ctx context.Context, owner, repo string, number int) ([]Review, error)
+    DeleteReview(ctx context.Context, owner, repo string, number int, reviewID int64) error
+}
+
+type Identity interface {
+    GetAuthenticatedUser(ctx context.Context) (string, error)
+}
+
+// Client combines all for callers that need everything
+type Client interface {
+    PRReader
+    FileReader
+    Reviewer
+    Identity
+}
+```
+
+### Types
+
+Use what gitea/ already has. Move to vcs/types.go or re-export.
+
+```go
+type PullRequest struct { ... }   // from gitea.PullRequest
+type ChangedFile struct { ... }   // from gitea.ChangedFile
+type ContentEntry struct { ... }  // from gitea.ContentEntry
+type Review struct { ... }        // from gitea.Review
+type ReviewRequest struct { ... } // new, for PostReview input
+type ReviewComment struct { ... } // from gitea.ReviewComment
+```
+
+### Adapter responsibilities
+
+Each adapter (gitea, github) handles:
+- API URL construction
+- Auth header format (`token` vs `Bearer`)
+- Request/response mapping
+- Comment schema translation (line numbers, commit IDs, etc.)
+
+---
+
+## Part 4: Test Plan
+
+### Unit Tests (mock HTTP)
+
+```
+github/
+  pr_test.go        # TestGetPullRequest, TestGetDiff, TestGetFiles
+  files_test.go     # TestGetFileContent, TestListContents
+  review_test.go    # TestPostReview, TestListReviews, TestDeleteReview
+  identity_test.go  # TestGetAuthenticatedUser
+```
+
+Per method: happy path, 404, 401, 429, malformed response.
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+Against github.com/aweiker/ai-core-review-bot:
+- Fetch real PR
+- Fetch real file
+- Post + delete review (clean up)
+
+### End-to-End
+
+Open PR on test repo, run full review-bot, verify review appears.
+
+---
+
+## Part 5: Implementation Phases
+
+### Phase 1: Extract interfaces from gitea/
+
+**Work:**
+- Create `vcs/interfaces.go` with interfaces extracted from gitea/client.go signatures
+- Create `vcs/types.go` — move or alias types from gitea/
+- Verify gitea.Client satisfies vcs.Client (compile-time check)
+
+**Exit criteria:** `var _ vcs.Client = (*gitea.Client)(nil)` compiles.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 2: Gitea adapter (if needed)
+
+**Work:**
+- If gitea.Client method signatures don't match exactly, create wrapper
+- Keep gitea/ working exactly as before
+
+**Exit criteria:** Existing tests pass. No behavior change.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 3: GitHub client — PRReader
+
+**Work:**
+- `github/client.go` — struct, constructor, HTTP helpers
+- `github/pr.go` — GetPullRequest, GetPullRequestDiff, GetPullRequestFiles
+- Unit tests
+
+**Exit criteria:** `go test ./github/...` passes for PR methods.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 4: GitHub client — FileReader
+
+**Work:**
+- `github/files.go` — GetFileContent, ListContents
+- Unit tests
+
+**Exit criteria:** Unit tests pass.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 5: GitHub client — Reviewer + Identity
+
+**Work:**
+- `github/review.go` — PostReview, ListReviews, DeleteReview
+- `github/identity.go` — GetAuthenticatedUser
+- Unit tests
+
+**Exit criteria:** Unit tests pass.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 6: Integration tests
+
+**Work:**
+- `integration/github_test.go`
+- Test against real GitHub
+
+**Exit criteria:** All integration tests pass.
+
+---
+
+### Phase 7: Wire into cmd/review-bot
+
+**Work:**
+- Add `--provider github|gitea` flag (default: gitea for backward compat)
+- Select client based on flag
+- Update to use vcs interfaces where it makes sense
+
+**Exit criteria:**
+- `./review-bot --provider github ...` works
+- `./review-bot --provider gitea ...` works (same as before)
+- Existing Gitea workflows unchanged
+
+---
+
+### Phase 8: GitHub Actions workflow + releases
+
+**Work:**
+- `.github/workflows/ci.yml` — test on PR
+- `.github/workflows/release.yml` — publish binary to GitHub releases
+- `.github/actions/review/action.yml` — composite action
+- Action downloads binary from github.com/aweiker/ai-core-review-bot releases
+
+**Exit criteria:** 
+- CI runs on github.com/aweiker/ai-core-review-bot
+- Release creates downloadable binary
+- Review action posts review successfully
+
+---
+
+## Part 6: Decisions
+
+| Question | Decision |
+|----------|----------|
+| Auth token | Workflow `GITHUB_TOKEN` (automatic) |
+| Binary distribution | GitHub releases on aweiker/ai-core-review-bot |
+| Comment schema | Adapter's job — translate ReviewComment to platform format |
+| Default provider | `gitea` for backward compatibility |
+| Shared types | vcs/types.go (extracted from gitea/) |
+| Platform-specific features | Stay on concrete client, not interface |
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+8 phases. Start by extracting interfaces from working gitea/ code, not inventing them. GitHub implements the same interfaces. Each phase has clear exit criteria.
