Pull request overview
Fixes gh aw logs failing with a misleading authentication error by removing an unsupported gh run list --json field and tightening error classification.
Changes:
- Removed invalid
pathfromgh run list --jsonand simplified unmarshaling to[]WorkflowRun. - Made invalid-field detection case-insensitive and updated patterns to match gh CLI’s actual error text.
- Updated health workflow-run accumulation logic and added a CI smoke test for
gh-aw health ... --jsonoutput shape.

The log message still says "total agentic runs so far", but this loop now appends all runs (the .lock.yml/agentic suffix filter was removed). This makes the log output misleading and can confuse debugging. Update the message to reflect the new behavior (e.g., "total runs so far") or reintroduce an explicit agentic-only count if that’s what you intend to report.

This test claims to verify the error classification logic in listWorkflowRunsWithPagination, but it doesn’t exercise that function (or any shared helper) and instead re-implements the classification checks inline. That means the test can still pass even if the production logic diverges. Consider extracting the classification into a small helper (e.g., taking err/output strings and returning an enum), then call that helper from both listWorkflowRunsWithPagination and this test.
