Add GitHub MCP Server setup workflow and documentation

[Copilot]

Enables automated and manual setup of GitHub's Model Context Protocol server for Claude Desktop integration.

Changes

• automation/workflows/github-mcp-setup.md: Complete 7-step automation workflow with verification checkpoints and completion promise for Rube Goldberg execution
• GITHUB-MCP-SETUP-ANSWER.md: Manual (5-min) and automated setup paths with troubleshooting
• docs/github-mcp-quickstart.md: Condensed reference guide
• automation/README.md: Added github-mcp to available workflows

Usage

Automated:

./automation/start-rube-goldberg.sh github-mcp

Manual:

npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/server-github
# Configure Claude Desktop with token from github.com/settings/tokens
# Restart Claude → verify 🔌 icon shows "Connected"

Workflow Structure

Follows Designr automation pattern:

• YAML frontmatter (tool_name, purpose, platform)
• Step-by-step instructions with verification commands
• Success criteria checklist
• Completion promise: <promise>GITHUB MCP SETUP COMPLETE</promise>

Includes token scope requirements (repo, read:org, user:email), config file locations (macOS/Linux), and security practices.
