The way that git history was removed makes me wonder if they preferred to claim as their own original work. Unless erasing the history was done by accident.
This doesn’t feel like a communication issue as much as an ethical question.

It couldn't have been. Forking 'properly' on GitHub is a single click. Doing what they did required cloning, erasing .git, then creating a new repo. The original history (now replaced with colorette's) even had an 'initial commit' by ai.
