[BUG] Live GitHub stats show 0 instead of real values #3493

Description

@Sarthak-Nayak

Bug Description

The landing page advertises "Live GitHub Signals" pulled from the repo, but several stat widgets render 0 instead of real numbers: COMMITS IN REPO, PRS MERGED, CONTRIBUTORS, GITHUB STARS, FORKS, and GOOD FIRST ISSUES.

This contradicts the surrounding copy, which states "19 issues are tagged good first issue and waiting right now" directly next to a GOOD FIRST ISSUES stat showing 0. The repo actually has 44 stars, real forks, and 20+ contributors shown in the avatar grid, so the live numbers clearly aren't being fetched (or the fetch fails and silently falls back to 0) on the deployed site.

Expected: stats should reflect live values from the GitHub API, matching the repo's actual stars/forks/contributors/good-first-issue counts.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Visit https://devtrack-silk-kappa.vercel.app/
  2. Scroll to the stats row below the contributions heatmap
  3. Scroll to the "OPEN SOURCE / BUILT IN PUBLIC" section near the contributor avatar grid
  4. Observe all stat values read "0" or "0+", while the adjacent text says "19 issues are tagged good first issue"
