Fix: resolve gh CLI path for macOS GUI apps - #196

macOS GUI apps launched from Finder/Spotlight inherit a minimal PATH
(/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin) that excludes Homebrew directories.
This causes `Command::new("gh")` to fail with NotFound, showing
"gh CLI not installed" even when gh is installed and working from
the terminal.
Add `find_gh()` helper that checks common Homebrew install locations
(/opt/homebrew/bin/gh, /usr/local/bin/gh) before falling back to
bare `gh` for PATH-based resolution.
Fixes tylergraydev#194

Well-scoped fix. find_gh() correctly checks both Homebrew paths before falling back to bare gh, and on non-macOS platforms the hardcoded paths won't exist so it degrades gracefully. Both call sites updated.
LGTM, merging.
