What's New in v3.9.17

Fixed

gh auth login must not be run with sudo

On WSL and Linux, if the user ran sudo gh auth login, credentials were stored in /root/.config/gh/ — invisible to the current (non-root) user. When the installer then ran gh auth status as the normal user, it found nothing and showed a generic error, leaving the user confused.

Two improvements:

1. After auto-installing gh: if gh was just installed and is not yet authenticated, the installer now exits cleanly with a clear message:

   ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
   │  ACTION REQUIRED — GitHub CLI authentication            │
   └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
   
   GitHub CLI was just installed. You need to authenticate once:
   
     gh auth login
   
   ⚠️  Do NOT use sudo — credentials are stored in your home
   directory and must belong to your user, not root.
   

2. Pre-flight auth check: if gh was already installed but auth was done with sudo, the error now explicitly explains the problem and how to fix it.
