Diagnose and fix GitHub authentication issues on Windows when pushing fails with "Repository not found" or wrong-account errors. Use when git push fails despite the repo existing, when multiple GitHub accounts are in play (personal + org), or when Windows Credential Manager has stale credentials. Trigger on phrases like "push failed", "repository not found", "wrong account", "gh auth", "credential", "git push 403", or any push error after a gh auth login.
