  • Drop InvalidGitHubTokenError
  • validate_github_token now emits a UserWarning instead of raising
  • Update tests to:
    • assert no warnings for valid tokens (via recwarn)
    • expect UserWarning for malformed tokens
  • Reduces false-positives and is future-proof if GitHub introduces new token formats

Closes #380

We don't need to validate the token with pattern matching and the warning is useless here i guess.
When the token is invalid (malformed or just invalid) we correctly handle the error:

I don't see why we validate and log the validation result here.

I think the validation is informative. Just a little message saying "this does not look like a proper token, tokens usually start with gh_ blablabla" because yeah, believe me, i've seen too many people struggle with access tokens and just put their plain password or something
