Profile “Built by” still shows removed co-author after history rewrite

Body

My GitHub profile still shows Claude under “Created repositories → Built by” for CreatorHub-next after I removed the Claude co-author trailers.

Profile: https://github.com/kakhkhorov97
Repository: https://github.com/kakhkhorov97/CreatorHub-next

On October 19, 2026, around 11:47 PM KST, I force-pushed the cleaned history to develop. We verified that no Claude Co-Authored-By trailers remained in that branch. The repository’s default branch is develop.

More than 24 hours later, the Claude icon still appears in my profile’s “Built by” row.

GitHub Support closed my ticket and directed me to self-service resources.

Does this profile row use a separate attribution cache? How can I check what is keeping this attribution visible or request a refresh?

Screenshot attached.

Update: I rechecked both repositories on October 21. Their default branches are develop and still point to the cleaned commits: CreatorHub-next at 5f8d3d9 and CreatorHub at a3a53b4.

None of the 43 frontend or 24 backend commit messages contain Claude or Anthropic. Claude nevertheless remains visible in the Contributors display. Is there a way to request an attribution refresh?

Thank you for reporting this bug. We've been logging these posts and are currently investigating solutions. We will share updates as soon as work begins and we have a better sense of when it will ship.

In the meantime, we did publish a troubleshooting guide for folks who may have missing contributions if you haven't taken the steps outlined in this doc, I recommend doing those first as there is a member-generated workaround that has had some success.

We appreciate the patience!
