When the GitHub plugin hits rate limits, the dashboard now:
- Shows a single amber banner: "GitHub API rate limited — PR data
(CI status, review state, sizes) may be stale. Will retry on
next refresh."
- Hides CI badge, review decision, and size pill on PR cards
(they'd show wrong values: +0 -0 XS, CI failing)
- Shows a subtle "⚠ PR data rate limited" note on affected cards
instead of misleading alert badges
- Skips CI/review/conflict-based attention zone classification
for rate-limited PRs (prevents sessions moving to Review due
to phantom "CI failing" from the fallback value)
- Doesn't cache partial rate-limited data so next refresh retries
live API calls as soon as the rate limit window resets
What still works when rate limited:
- Session ID, title, branch, PR number/link
- Session activity status (working/spawning/etc.)
- Merge button if mergeability was already cached
- Restore/terminate/send actions
