…ent naming
The solve command was failing to checkout PR branches when:
1. The PR came from another user's fork (e.g., skulidropek/eo2js)
2. The current user had a fork with a different naming convention
(e.g., konard/objectionary-eo2js)
3. The --fork flag was used in continue mode
Root cause: The code incorrectly applied the current user's
--prefix-fork-name-with-owner-name preference to another user's
fork name, constructing URLs like skulidropek/objectionary-eo2js
when the actual fork was skulidropek/eo2js.
Changes:
- Query GitHub API to discover the actual fork name instead of guessing
- Try common naming patterns as fallback (standard and prefixed)
- Add PR refs fallback (refs/pull/{number}/head) when fork checkout fails
- Include comprehensive case study documentation
Fixes #1217

The hive.mjs -h test failure appears to be a flaky test unrelated to the changes in this PR. This empty commit triggers a CI re-run. The test passes consistently locally and the PR does not modify hive.mjs at all. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
