Pull request overview
Adds anonymous-user support for the repository recommendation flow by removing the auth requirement on /api/repo and adapting the frontend to allow browsing without logging in while still prompting users to authenticate for personalized features.
Changes:
- Backend:
/api/reponow serves Gorse recommendations for authenticated users and random GitHub Trending repos for anonymous users (with 1-hour trending cache), and/api/readstores anonymous “read” state in session. - Frontend: Explore routes no longer require auth; UI now checks auth state, shows login prompts, and hides auth-only navigation/actions when anonymous.
- Dependencies: bumps
