401 GitHub after 1 hour job, no branch no commits, no comment update

**Describe the bug**
The job finished successfully but GitHub failed with 401. The branch was never created, so all progress was lost.

**To Reproduce**
Create some long running job. Wait until after one hour for claude to try commenting and commiting.

**Expected behavior**
The token gets refreshed or the job is finished and all progress is commited before the timeout passes.

**Screenshots**

Added the log, the repo is public.

**Workflow yml file**

Start with the linked .github/workflows/claude.yml and the captured 401 log entries for issue comments and pull requests. Reproduce a job lasting over an hour, then trace the credential used before comment, branch, and commit operations. Done means the long-running job retains valid GitHub access and its progress is not lost.
