fix: address review feedback on PR #102

- Separate maxPages into maxFilesPages and maxCheckRunPages constants
  for clarity (sonnet MINOR #1)
- Add parallel to CheckRunConclusions subtests (sonnet MINOR #2)
- Add TestGetCommitStatuses_CheckRunsErrorAfterStatusesSucceed test
  covering check-runs 500 after statuses succeed (sonnet MINOR #2)
- Expand mapCheckRunStatus doc comment with full mapping rules including
  cancelled/skipped/neutral rationale and unknown value behavior
  (sonnet MINOR #3, gpt MINOR #1)
- Expand GetPullRequest doc comment to mention error types returned
  (sonnet NIT #4)
- Add inline comment on Description field clarifying it holds raw
  conclusion value (gpt NIT #3)
