| Issue | What to do |
|---|---|
| ------- | ------------ |
Empty data / no repos | Network may have closed early (IncompleteRead). Retry; if script supports it, use chunked read. |
| Parse errors / wrong structure | GitHub may have changed HTML; script may need selector/parser updates. |
| Timeout | Check network; default timeout 15s. |
| Windows console encoding error on emoji | Set PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 or run with --json and parse elsewhere. |
