The sanitization logic is duplicated in both GetIssue (lines 327-335) and fragmentToIssue (lines 215, 223). Since GetIssue already calls the GitHub API and returns an issue object, the sanitization in GetIssue may be redundant if the issue comes from a fragment that's already sanitized, or vice versa. Consider whether both locations need sanitization or if one location is sufficient to avoid double-processing.

Nope, GetIssue is using a REST API and fragmentToIssue is used for graphQL.

Implement basic content sanitisation that is (for now) applied only to title and body of issues and pull requests.
It removes hidden Unicode characters that pose a risk to LLM input.
