Represents a GitHub App definition — the registered application entity. The app owner holds the private key that can generate installation access tokens for every GH_AppInstallation of this app. If the private key is compromised, all installations across all organizations are affected.
App definitions are retrieved via the public GET /apps/{app_slug} endpoint (no authentication required) after discovering unique app slugs from the organization’s app installations.
