Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing the extension's refresh button and command-palette refresh behavior, then inspect how GitHub API connection failures are surfaced. Done means refresh produces a visible result and the extension can recover from or clearly report the connection failure.

Description
Describe the bug
The extension was working, now it's not. Instead, I get the error, "Unable to connect to the GitHub API, please check your internet connection," along with a refresh button. Pressing it appears to do nothing. Nothing visible happens. Similarly, if I run the refresh from the command palette, nothing appears to happen.

Expected behavior
The extension show work, offering me an effective resolution if something's wrong.
