- Fixes an issue where commit messages become invisible during interactive rebase in some themes ([#4886](https://github.com/gitkraken/vscode-gitlens/issues/4886))
- Fixes issue in the _Commit Graph_ minimap where it only shows a spinner when the repo has no commits [#4741](https://github.com/gitkraken/vscode-gitlens/issues/4741)

### Changed

- Stops requesting GitHub session retrieval via VS Code built-in sessions. Instead, if there is no existing GitLens session available in VS Code, it always uses the GKDev flow ([#4881](https://github.com/gitkraken/vscode-gitlens/issues/4881))
