could not resolve repo (set RABBIT_REPO=owner/name)

Error message

could not resolve repo (set RABBIT_REPO=owner/name)

What it means

The rabbit CLI needs an owner/name GitHub repository slug. It tries RABBIT_REPO first, then runs `git remote get-url upstream` and `origin` and matches github.com[:/]owner/repo(.git) URLs. If RABBIT_REPO is unset and neither named remote exists or parses as a GitHub URL, it throws with the fix in the message.

Solutions

1. Set the slug explicitly: `RABBIT_REPO=tinyhumansai/openhuman node scripts/rabbit/cli.mjs run`
2. Or add a GitHub-shaped remote: `git remote add upstream git@github.com:owner/name.git`
3. Or rename your existing GitHub remote so it is called `origin` or `upstream` (`git remote rename github upstream`)

Example fix

# before — only a non-github remote exists:
git remote -v
# gitea  https://git.internal/team/openhuman.git
node scripts/rabbit/cli.mjs run

# after:
RABBIT_REPO=tinyhumansai/openhuman node scripts/rabbit/cli.mjs run

}

When it happens

Trigger: Running scripts/rabbit/cli.mjs outside a git repository (execFileSync git fails, both remotes skipped); remotes named something else (e.g. only a `github` remote); remote URLs on a non-GitHub host (GitLab, gitea, SSH aliases like `git@work:team/repo`) that never match the regex.

Common situations: Corporate forks where origin points at an internal mirror; fresh clones with no `upstream` and a non-GitHub origin; CI checkouts configured with a token URL that doesn't include github.com.
