fix: Use HTTP requests for GitHub commit stats

[ReenigneArcher]

Description

Replace the ThreadPoolExecutor+PyGithub approach for fetching /stats/commit_activity with direct HTTP requests via helpers.s.get. Add headers parameter, retry logic for 202 responses, handling for 204, and a retry_after option; use monotonic-based deadline and per-request timeouts. Update callers to pass headers and write raw JSON commit activity. Tests updated to mock HTTP responses, add FakeResponse.raise_for_status, and cover 202->success, 204, and timeout behavior.
