Missing GitHub repo. Pass --repo <owner/repo>.

Error message

Missing GitHub repo. Pass --repo <owner/repo>.

What it means

Precondition guard in syncGithubWorkItems: options.githubRepo is empty, so GitHub PR/issue sync cannot run at all; the generic parser accepted the invocation but the required --repo <owner/repo> value was never provided.

Solutions

1. Pass --repo <owner/repo> on the work-items sync command.
2. Or set the repo in the persistent options/store the sync reads.
3. Confirm the command was run inside the intended repository if relying on auto-detection.
