Connect GitHub for handoff
Authorize DriftLess from Account -> GitHub so file handoff uses your token or OAuth connection.
Open Account -> GitHub and complete the connection flow. Without a configured token, the handoff API returns a clear “connect GitHub” error.
You can typically use OAuth or follow the advanced PAT path when the settings page offers it. The connection is per-user: use an account that is allowed to create or push to the target repositories.
