Document limitation: Unable to add PR comments without GitHub authentication

[Copilot]

Summary

This PR documents the investigation into adding a comment to pull request #2, which revealed that the current environment lacks the necessary GitHub authentication to perform write operations on pull requests.

Problem Statement

The task was to add a comment to pull request #2 requesting admins and reviewers to review it. However, after thorough investigation, this operation cannot be completed with the available tools and permissions.

Investigation Results

What Was Checked

1. GitHub MCP Server Tools: The available tools can read GitHub data (PRs, issues, comments) but do not include any tools for creating or updating PR comments.

2. GitHub CLI (gh): The gh CLI is installed and available at /usr/bin/gh (version 2.80.0), but it requires authentication via the GH_TOKEN environment variable, which is not set in this environment.

3. Environment Variables: Checked for GitHub authentication tokens but found none available for use with write operations.

4. Environment Limitations: The documented constraints explicitly state:

   "You do not have Github credentials and cannot use git or gh via the bash tool to commit, push or update the PR you are working on."

Attempted Solutions
