List GitHub profile followers

List followers for a GitHub profile.

Use `lookupStatus` to distinguish found and not_found. Call `GET /v1/github/profiles/{handle}` when you need full profile details.

An empty `data.followers` array with `lookupStatus: "found"` means the profile resolved but this page returned no followers.
