GitHub Models retirement exposes a hidden dependency

GitHub's changelog says GitHub Models is retired. Prototypes, CI jobs, and demos that used its endpoints now need an explicit model provider and a replacement path. Why it matters: Shared model access can disappear behind a working demo. The migration cost lands later, when a CI job, sample app, or internal tool has no named route to a provider.

Try this: Search your repository and CI configuration for GitHub Models references, then run one smoke test through the named replacement provider.
