Stale "Claude" entry in Contributors sidebar persists 1+ week after history rewrite

Bug

Body

Repository: https://github.com/hydrastro/astrx

The repository homepage sidebar still lists "Claude" under Contributors,
more than a week after the last push. The reachable history and both
contributor APIs are already correct — only the cached sidebar widget is
stale.

Verification, on a fresh clone:

• git log --all --format='%H | A:%an <%ae> | C:%cn <%ce>' returns no match
  for "claude" or "anthropic" in any author or committer field, on any ref,
  including tags and refs/pull/* (fetched explicitly with
  +refs/pull/:refs/remotes/origin/pr/).
• No Co-Authored-By trailer and no "Generated with Claude Code" line in any
  commit body on any ref.
• GET /repos/hydrastro/astrx/contributors?anon=1 returns only hydrastro
  with 375 contributions, matching the 375 commits on master exactly.
• GET /repos/hydrastro/astrx/stats/contributors returns only hydrastro.

I opened a support ticket and it was closed by the virtual assistant with a
pointer to this forum, as technical support isn't included on my plan.

Could a staff member trigger a rebuild or invalidation of the cached
contributor data for this repository?
