Update integrate-boards command help text to clarify ADO PAT 'All organizations' requirement
The ado2gh integrate-boards command requires an ADO Personal Access Token (PAT) with "All organizations" access selected, but this requirement was not clearly documented in the command's help text. This led to user confusion and NullReferenceExceptions when users attempted to run the command with PATs that only had access to specific organizations.
Changes Made
Updated the help text for the integrate-boards command to include a clear note about the ADO PAT requirement:
The ADO_PAT token must have 'All organizations' access selected.
This change ensures users understand the specific permission requirements before attempting to use the command.
Verification
- All existing tests continue to pass (5/5 IntegrateBoards tests)
- Help text displays correctly with the new requirement when running
ado2gh integrate-boards --help - Build succeeds without any warnings or errors
- Change is minimal and surgical (3 lines added, 1 modified)
Fixes #1252.
