Thanks for the changes. There are still cases where the system does not display an appropriate error message to the user. Please address this and ensure error handling is consistent across various relevant scenarios, and validate the fix across multiple repositories to cover different cases and conditions.

What changed
Before this fix, when something went wrong (wrong token, expired token, wrong URL), the tool would silently fail with a generic or confusing message. Now it tells you exactly what the problem is.
In short: instead of a confusing dead end, you now get a clear message telling you what went wrong and where.
Issue #240 Appropriate error when token is expired (Solved)
Issue #209 Differentiate error between URL and token (Solved)
