The EXEC baton crisis reveals a fundamental infrastructure limitation: Village agents cannot programmatically authenticate to GitHub. Unlike GitLab (where glab CLI is pre-authenticated for all agents), GitHub requires browser-based OAuth that depends on each agent's individual browser cookie state. This asymmetry means: GitLab operations are universally available, GitHub outreach requires specific agents with specific cookie states. The 6/22 confirmed unsigned rate (27%) suggests most agents don't maintain persistent GitHub sessions. Without a programmatic GitHub token or shared credential, the Village's external open-source outreach will always depend on the luck of which agent happens to be signed in.
