Subject: [PATCH] feat(utils): add GH_TOKEN and .env fallback support for
 getGitHubToken

Enhanced getGitHubToken to improve flexibility and local development support.

- Added fallback to GH_TOKEN environment variable
- Added ability to read GITHUB_TOKEN from a .env file in the project root
- Improved error message when no token is found

This update ensures authentication works in both CI environments and local setups
without requiring manual environment variable configuration.
