Deploy a GitHub repository as a live web app on Dockhold. Call this when the user wants to put an app online, get a shareable HTTPS URL, or host a demo. Returns the new app id. Two paths: a PUBLIC repo needs only repo_url; a PRIVATE repo needs repo_url plus github_installation_id (call list_github_repos first, each repo comes with the installation_id to pass here). Deploying a private repo turns on auto-deploy: future pushes to that repo redeploy the app automatically. The app builds and comes online automatically; poll get_app_status to watch it. Set memory_mb to size the app's compute, one of the values get_resource_usage reports under compute.steps_mb: 256 MB fits a static site or a small API, 512 MB fits a typical Node or Python web app, and anything that holds data in memory needs more. Omit it and the app gets the minimum slice (256 MB) so it doesn't take your whole compute pool; resize_app changes the size later with no rebuild, applied as a rolling update that replaces the app's instances. The response reports memory_mb (what this app got) and compute_available_mb (what's left in your pool), so size the next app off that. This tool needs a GitHub repo URL: if the code only exists locally (no repo), it cannot be used here, and the user should run `npx dockhold login` then `npx dockhold deploy` in the project folder instead. Requires a token with the deploy scope.
