Pull request overview
Adds support for running fyai against a remote Git repository by cloning it into a temporary workspace, running the existing processing pipeline on that clone, and relying on tempdir cleanup afterward.
Changes:
- Introduces
--repoand optional--repo-branchCLI flags and routes execution through a repository-clone path. - Adds
src/repository.rswithgit clone --depth 1+ tempdir-based cleanup, and overridesConfig.directoryto point at the clone. - Documents the new remote-run workflow in README and adds unit tests around clone/run behavior.

Enable running fyai against a GitHub/GitLab repository by cloning into a temporary workspace, processing there, and leaving no residue beyond the output.
--repo(with optional--repo-branch) flags hook main flow to a remote-run path after normal config merge.repository.rsclones withgit --depth 1, swapsConfig.directoryto the temp clone, invokes existing processing, and relies onTempDirdrop for cleanup.Example:
