Reword the useGitHubAppAuth comments and set-app-token-push-url.ps1 header so they no longer imply repo visibility is what selects App auth. Make clear the real driver is a target repo living in a different org than the shared service connection covers (which would otherwise need its own PAT), and that public visibility only enables the anonymous clone / credential-free read, not App auth itself.

Summary
Follow-up to #1442. Clarifies the comments/documentation around the
useGitHubAppAuthpath so the distinctions we landed on are explicit and not misleading.Changes
language-generation-kiota.yml: rewrote theuseGitHubAppAuthparam comment to lead with the cross-org / PAT-elimination rationale and add an explicit note that repo visibility is not the selector; reworded the anonymous-clone step comment to frame public visibility as the enabler of credential-free reads rather than the reason for App auth.scripts/set-app-token-push-url.ps1: reframed the header so push-only URL rewriting reads as a deliberate optimization for public repos, not a requirement of App auth.No behavioral changes - comments/documentation only.
