Description

Shows nothing in the "Filter by repository" and shows no notifications with that option enabled or disabled.

My scenario:

  • Organization owned repos
  • All repos are private
  • Repo access is granted using teams, not individual grants
  • Token has correctly been generated with extra-permissive permissions just in case
  • Token has been granted SSO access

Really need to see those notification numbers and desktop notifications. Any hope for me and others in this situation?

Research direction
Investigate the extension's handling of organization/team repositories. Check how the token permissions are used and debug the filtering logic in the codebase (likely in background.js). Review any existing comments for clues about the root cause.
