Show me all open issues in my backend-api repo.

I found 7 open issues in backend-api. The most critical is #142 'Database connection timeout on high load' (bug, high-priority, assigned to @alice). Other notable issues include #138 'Add rate limiting middleware' and #135 'Refactor auth middleware to support OAuth2'.

What's the status of recent workflow runs on main branch?

The last 5 workflow runs on main: CI Pipeline (success, 12m ago), Deploy to Staging (success, 10m ago), Security Scan (success, 8m ago), Release Build (failure, 2h ago — failed at 'build Docker image' step) and Integration Tests (success, 3h ago).

Search for popular Python machine learning repos with over 1000 stars.

I found several highly-starred Python ML repos: huggingface/transformers (119k stars), scikit-learn/scikit-learn (58k stars), tensorflow/tensorflow (185k stars), pytorch/pytorch (79k stars) and microsoft/ML-For-Beginners (27k stars). Would you like more details on any of these?

Go to [**Settings > Developer settings > Personal access tokens**](https://github.com/settings/tokens), click **Generate new token (classic)**, give it a descriptive name, select the scopes you need (recommended: repo, workflow, read:org) and click **Generate token**. Copy the token immediately — it starts with `ghp_` and won't be shown again.
