P2 When an intermediary returns a non-2xx response with an empty, plain-text, or HTML body, resp_raw.json() fails before the status branch runs, so the command reports a generic decoding error without the captured HTTP status. The changed comments-list handler has the same ordering.

let resp: Value = resp_raw.json().await.context("failed to list issues")?;

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Read non-success bodies before JSON deserialization.

resp_raw.json() runs before status.is_success(). If a node or intermediary returns plain text, HTML, or an empty body for a 403/404 response, deserialization fails first. The command then reports a generic JSON error and loses the HTTP status and server message.

Read the body once. For non-success responses, extract message from JSON when available and otherwise use the response text. Add regression tests for non-JSON denial bodies in both handlers.

Also applies to: 358-364

In `@crates/gl/src/issue.rs` around lines 224 - 226, Update both issue handlers
around resp_raw and status to read the response body once and check status
before deserializing JSON. For non-success responses, extract a message when the
body is valid JSON, otherwise preserve the raw response text alongside the HTTP
status; retain normal JSON parsing for successful responses. Add regression
tests covering non-JSON denial bodies in both handlers.
