fix(poll): trigger re-auth on 401 during hot-poll instead of retrying - #119

The hot-poll cycle (PR status + workflow run refresh) absorbed 401 Bad Credentials errors into the generic hadErrors/backoff path, so an expired or revoked token produced an endless "retrying with backoff" loop instead of prompting re-authentication. The full poll already special-cases 401 to trigger expireToken() + redirect; hot-poll now does the same via a shared isUnauthorizedError() helper. Fixes GITHUB-TRACKER-6
