copilot-swe-agent[bot] b97c80d6bd fix: address code review feedback on security and type hints
- Use Optional[int] type hint for timeout parameter in oauth_helper
- Replace bare Exception with specific ValueError and JSONDecodeError
- Strengthen rclone remote name validation (must start with alphanumeric)
- Fix path traversal validation to check against workdir for absolute paths
- Add comprehensive comments for security validations
