Unhandled API Response in ActivityFeed

[annrose2277-glitch]

Related Issue

• Closes: 🐛 Bug Report: Unhandled API Response in ActivityFeed #641

---

Description

Added response validation to the ActivityFeed component. Previously, if the GitHub API hit a rate limit or returned an error, the code would attempt to parse the error object as an array, resulting in runtime crashes. The fetch logic now strictly checks res.ok before parsing to ensure stability.

---

How Has This Been Tested?

• Started the application locally.
• Verified that the activity feed populates correctly for active users.
• Simulated an API rate limit/failure to ensure the feed safely handles the error state without breaking the surrounding UI.
