Description

TL;DR

Currently we are using github cli for getting the changed files list and it has a issue which throws 406 if changes are more than 20k lines but files are less.

could not find pull request diff: HTTP 406: Sorry, the diff exceeded the maximum number of lines (20000) (https://api.github.com/repos/org/repo/pulls/714)
PullRequest.diff too_large

The number of file changes in this PR is 150 only, should explore some other solution for getting file change list.

Research direction

The issue identifies GitHub CLI's changed-file retrieval and links CLI issue #10712; start by tracing the action's changed-file list entry point and reproduce the 406 case with a pull request whose diff exceeds 20,000 lines. Done means the action can obtain the file list for that case without relying on the failing diff response, with coverage for the regression.
