Streak does not count days when the only activity is creating a repository

Describe the bug

The streak does not consistently handle days where the only GitHub activity is creating a new repository.

GitHub shows repository creation as a contribution on the "Contribution Graph", but the streak widget does not always count that day as an active streak day. In some cases, the streak temporarily includes the repository creation day, but after a refresh it recalculates and removes that day from the streak.

Expected behavior

The streak calculation should handle repository creation contributions consistently. A day where the only GitHub activity is creating a repository should also be counted as an active streak day, matching GitHub's contribution graph.

Additional context

This creates a mismatch between GitHub's contribution graph and the streak shown by the widget.
