* fix: Add SHA to get_file_contents while preserving MCP behavior (#595) Enhance get_file_contents to include SHA information without changing the existing MCP server response format. Changes: - Add Contents API call to retrieve SHA before fetching raw content - Include SHA in resourceURI (repo://owner/repo/sha/{SHA}/contents/path) - Add SHA to success messages - Update tests to verify SHA inclusion - Maintain original behavior: text files return raw text, binaries return base64 This preserves backward compatibility while providing SHA information for better file versioning support. Closes #595 * fix: Improve error handling for Contents API response Ensure response body is properly closed even when an error occurs by moving the defer statement before the error check. This prevents potential resource leaks when the Contents API returns an error with a non-nil response. Changes: - Move defer respContents.Body.Close() before error checking - Rename errContents to err for consistency - Add nil check for respContents before attempting to close body This follows Go best practices for handling HTTP responses and prevents potential goroutine/memory leaks. * revert changes to resource URI * use GraphQL API to get file SHA * refactor: mock GQL client instead of getFileSHA function to follow conventions * lint * revert GraphQL --------- Co-authored-by: LuluBeatson <lulubeatson@github.com>

Pull Request Overview
This PR adds four new tools for managing GitHub sub-issues functionality, enabling users to add, list, remove, and reprioritize sub-issues through the GitHub MCP server. The changes include comprehensive test coverage and direct REST API integration since sub-issues are not yet available in the go-github library.
- Adds sub-issue management tools to the default toolset configuration
- Implements four new sub-issue operations with proper error handling and validation
- Provides extensive test coverage for all sub-issue operations including edge cases

- [nitpick] The parameter name 'sub_issue_id' is inconsistent with GitHub API conventions. Consider renaming to 'sub_issue_number' for consistency with other issue number parameters in the codebase.
mcp.WithNumber("sub_issue_id",
pkg/github/issues_test.go:1804
- [nitpick] Test case 'missing required parameter owner' creates a mockedClient but doesn't need it since validation fails before any HTTP call. This creates unnecessary test setup overhead.

Closes: #154
Note that I am calling the GitHub REST API, due to sub-issues not yet in
go-github- however, it was merged in google/go-github#3580 so I'm happy to let this wait until they cut a new release and refactor.Example use
I have tested the tools with a test repo here: https://github.com/martinnormark/gh-mcp-tests
Specifically I created 3 issues, where martinnormark/gh-mcp-tests#1 is the parent. You can look at the history there to see how sub-issues were added, removed, then added again.
It gracefully handled permission error due to token grants:
Fixed the token and asked to retry:
Asking to list sub-issues:
Removing a sub-issue from the parent, not mentioning the parent:
Adding it back again:
Asking to re-order:
