Safe GitHub CLI Helper
Usage:

./github-safe.js pr comment <number> <body>
./github-safe.js issue create --title <title> --body <body>

This helper prevents timeout issues with special characters like:
- Backticks in code examples
- Command substitution \$(...)
- Directory paths
- Special shell characters
