Research direction
Start with GithubClient.java at getLatestAzureMcpRelease (line 103) and follow executeWithRetry (line 64), using the reported Jackson JsonParseException as the entry point. The payload names no test, reproduction steps, or expected behavior, so the desired fix and definition of done need clarification before implementation.
