Implements proactive rate limit monitoring that checks GitHub API status before processing each repository. When remaining requests drop to 500 or below (10% of the 5000/hour limit), the tool pauses and waits until the rate limit resets. Benefits: - Prevents hitting rate limits instead of reacting to errors - Single long wait instead of many failed API calls - Reduces wasted API calls and improves reliability - Clear user feedback showing wait time and reset schedule - Configurable threshold (default 500 requests = 10%) Implementation: - checkRateLimit(): Queries GitHub API for current rate limit status - checkAndWaitIfNearLimit(): Pauses execution if threshold is reached - Added before each repository in analyzeAllRepositories() - Added before each repository in analyzePublicRepositories() The tool displays clear messages during rate limit waits: "⏳ Rate limit low (450 requests remaining). Waiting until 3:45 PM (15 minutes)..." "✓ Rate limit reset. Resuming operations..." 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
