Bug Summary
After connecting the GitHub account with the platform, the commit statistics displayed by the dashboard do not match the commits shown on GitHub.
GitHub contribution graph shows:

- 2026 commits: 44
- Total commits: 132
However, the platform displays only:
119 commits
This indicates that 13 commits are missing.
