fix(github): return error when webhook secret is missing

[Rudra2637]

Description

Fixes #688

When webhookSecret was missing or empty, verifyGithubWebhookSignature previously returned { valid: false } without an error property. This caused downstream webhook handlers to fall back to generic error messages, obscuring the actual root cause (missing configuration).

Changes:

• Updated verifyGithubWebhookSignature in packages/github/webhooks/types.ts to return { valid: false, error: 'Missing webhook secret' } when webhookSecret is missing.
• Updated unit tests in packages/github/webhooks.test.ts to assert that { valid: false, error: 'Missing webhook secret' } is returned.

Greptile Summary

This PR makes GitHub webhook verification report the specific configuration error when the webhook secret is absent.

• Returns { valid: false, error: 'Missing webhook secret' } for a missing or empty secret.
• Updates the corresponding unit assertion to cover the diagnostic.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge with no actionable defects identified.

The change preserves signature rejection when configuration is missing, adds an error already supported by the function’s return type, and aligns the test with the intended downstream diagnostic.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
packages/github/webhooks/types.ts	Adds the missing-secret diagnostic while preserving the existing fail-closed verification result and declared return contract.
packages/github/webhooks.test.ts	Updates the missing-secret test to assert the newly returned error message.
