docs: document ENOBUFS fix and new GitHub indexing limits

Update documentation to reflect the fix for ENOBUFS errors during GitHub
indexing and the new default limit of 500 items.

Changes:
- TROUBLESHOOTING.md: Add comprehensive ENOBUFS troubleshooting section
  - Explain the error cause (buffer overflow)
  - Provide solutions with --gh-limit flag examples
  - Give repository size-based recommendations
  - Document batch indexing strategy

- packages/cli/README.md: Document new index command flags
  - Add --gh-limit flag documentation
  - Provide guidance for different repository sizes
  - Update index command options section

- packages/subagents/src/github/README.md: Update GitHub agent docs
  - Change default limit from 100 to 500 in configuration docs
  - Add limit recommendations based on repository size
  - Document new buffer management (50MB/10MB)
  - Add ENOBUFS error to error handling section
  - Update performance considerations with new batch sizes
  - Add ENOBUFS troubleshooting section with solutions
  - Update test coverage stats (79 total tests)

User Guidance:
- Default 500 limit works for most repos
- Large repos (200+): Use --gh-limit 100-200
- Very active repos (500+): Use --gh-limit 50-100
- Batch indexing available for very large repositories

Testing:
- All 1100+ tests passing
- Documentation accuracy verified

+### ENOBUFS error during GitHub indexing
+
+**Error message:**
+```
+Failed to fetch issues: spawnSync /bin/sh ENOBUFS
+```
+
+**Cause:** Buffer overflow when fetching large numbers of issues/PRs from repositories with extensive GitHub activity.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+1. **Use lower limit (recommended):**
+   ```bash
+   # For main index command
+   dev index --gh-limit 100
+
+   # For dedicated GitHub indexing
+   dev gh index --limit 100
+   ```
+
+2. **Adjust limit based on repository size:**
+   - Small repos (<50 issues/PRs): Default (500) works fine
+   - Medium repos (50-200 issues/PRs): Use `--gh-limit 200`
+   - Large repos (200+ issues/PRs): Use `--gh-limit 100` or lower
+
+3. **Index in batches:**
+   ```bash
+   # Index open items only (usually smaller)
+   dev gh index --state open --limit 500
+   
+   # Then index closed items with lower limit
+   dev gh index --state closed --limit 100
+   ```
+
+**Technical details:**
+- Default limit reduced to 500 (from 1000) to prevent buffer overflow
+- Buffer size increased to 50MB for large payloads
+- Helpful error messages now guide users to use `--gh-limit` flag
