GitHub Cache Hygiene

Goal: discover in the local Gitcrawl archive first, then use the existing Octopool-backed gh shim for current GitHub metadata and authorized writes.

Default Path

Start with local archive reads:

gitcrawl search prs "<terms>" -R owner/repo --state open --json number,title,url

gitcrawl threads owner/repo --numbers 123 --include-closed --json

--include-closed keeps closed or merged candidates in scope. Archive state can lag GitHub; it is not proof of current state.

Then use bare PATH gh when current metadata is needed. On Peter's machines it is expected to be the Octopool-backed shim, so supported JSON reads share the fleet cache without changing authentication or command routing:
