Problem
GitHub quota and abuse responses currently lose their specific classification in the shared error layer, so downstream tooling cannot distinguish them from generic 403/transport failures.

Why now
Rate limits are a routine operational condition for GitHub integrations. This server already documents structured error handling, but the central classifier only recognizes invalid token and insufficient scope today.

Evidence packet
- Commit under test: `0c0ac794a443626d3a1517f8154f109f06a26e68`
- Runtime: macOS 15.3 / Darwin 25.3.0 arm64, Go `1.25.7`
- Relevant codepaths:
- `pkg/errors/error.go`
- `pkg/utils/api.go`
- `docs/error-handling.md`
- Minimal repro:
1. Trigger a secondary rate limit or abuse-detection response from GitHub.
2. Observe the error payload stored in middleware / tool results.
- Expected: explicit classifications for secondary rate limits and abuse limits, ideally preserving retry timing when GitHub provides it.
- Actual: `classifyHTTPErrorCode` only handles `401 invalid_token` and some `403 insufficient_scope` cases, leaving rate-limit-specific failures unclassified.

Scope
This is a platform contract issue in shared GitHub error mapping.

Validation target
Unit tests should prove that primary, secondary, and abuse limit responses classify distinctly and preserve retry metadata when available.
