Assessment

Difficulty: 4/5
Estimated time: 3-5 days
Newbie friendliness: 25/100

Issue type: Bug
Clarity: Needs clarification
Activity status: Stale
Tech stack: github, github-actions, typescript, vscode
Domain: api, ci-cd, devtools

Research direction

Start by reproducing the refresh failure with GitHub Actions extension 0.27.0 in the reported VS Code, WSL2, and Dev Container setup, then inspect the logged fetch failure and GitHub context lookup. Use PR 228 as the reproduction context. Done means the current branch's GitHub Actions list refreshes successfully instead of repeatedly reporting that the GitHub API cannot be reached.
