Thanks! |
GitHub's commit API endpoint is rate-limited to 60 requests/hour for unauthenticated users. This causes avatar loading to fail after a few blame toggles. This change uses GitHub's CDN avatar endpoint `https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/e?email={email}&s=128` which doesn't count against API rate limits. The author email is already available from local git data, so no API calls are needed. Closes zed-industries#47590
