Add missing get_repository tool to repos toolset

[Copilot]

The GitHub Remote MCP Authentication Test was failing because get_repository was absent from the repos toolset definition, despite being mapped to that toolset in github_tool_to_toolset.json.

Changes

Data Consistency Fix

• Added get_repository to repos toolset in pkg/workflow/data/github_toolsets_permissions.json
• Toolset now properly exposes: get_commit, get_file_contents, get_latest_release, get_release_by_tag, get_repository, get_repository_tree, get_tag, list_branches, list_commits, list_releases, list_tags

Workflow Configuration

• Added explicit allowed: [get_repository, list_issues, issue_read] to .github/workflows/github-remote-mcp-auth-test.md
• Ensures Copilot CLI and remote MCP server expose required tools

Technical Context

The discrepancy existed between two data files:

// github_tool_to_toolset.json - Mapping (was correct)
"get_repository": "repos"

// github_toolsets_permissions.json - Definition (was incomplete)
"repos": {
  "tools": ["get_commit", "get_file_contents", ..., "list_tags"]
  // ❌ get_repository missing
}

When workflows specified toolsets: [repos], the remote MCP server wouldn't expose get_repository because the toolset definition didn't include it, even though the mapping indicated it should belong there.

<issue_description>### Description
The GitHub Remote MCP Authentication Test is failing because MCP tools (list_issues/get_repository) are not loaded in the runtime. Update the workflow/tool configuration to ensure the remote MCP toolsets are enabled (or add a local-mode fallback) before running the auth check.

Expected Impact

Restores the daily MCP auth test and prevents false-negative failures caused by missing toolsets.
