### Describe the Bug

We found that when a collaborator comments `bugbot run` on a PR of a private repo, bugbot doesn’t start.  
When the owner repo comments `bugbot run`, cursor’s bugbot does start.

Is this some known limitation when working with collaborators?

### Steps to Reproduce

Invite collaborator to private github repo.  
Collaborator creates a PR.  
Collaborator posts a comment with `bugbot run`.  
Nothing happens.

### Expected Behavior

Bugbot starts running and reviewing the code

### Operating System

Linux

### Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

no idea what cursor version are you guys running for bugbot

### Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

There are some errors related to bugbot, I am the owner of Git so I can still run it normally but others cannot run it.
