Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue through My Account → Settings → Account and the Profile Photo control, then trace how the GitHub avatar selection is persisted. The work is done when selecting "Use Github Avatar" survives a page refresh and the Gitcoin profile continues showing that avatar.
