The GraphQL API can return `null` nodes in the `projectItems` connection, causing a runtime panic (nil pointer dereference) when the CLI attempted to access fields on these nil nodes. This crash occurs even with personal access tokens with full read access. Adds a check to safely skip `nil` nodes in `ProjectsV2ItemsForIssue` and `ProjectsV2ItemsForPullRequest`.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Adding tests to ensure this works as expected, but it looks good to me 👍
Thanks @chrishenzie!
