Description
I followed the "allow": "*" instructions in the README and ended up with a Datasette that just showed me the 403 page everywhere, but didn't provide a link to sign into the tool.

Research direction
Start by reading the README section describing the "allow": "*" configuration and trace how the plugin handles the 403 page when access is restricted. Check the /-/github-auth-start entry point and confirm that the 403 response provides a visible sign-in link; the issue is done when users can reach GitHub authentication from that page.
