It's essential that these are set to these specific values for Safari support.
Not entirely sure why this is, as it deviates from Chrome & FF, but it's been the case for going on 5 years now so I don't think the Safari team particularly cares about aligning. Here's an StackOverflow post about it.

I'm lacking the context for why credentials: 'omit' was set (as the blame has none), but it shouldn't be an issue for us as we're not directly fetching from the GitHub API, it always passes through our lambda/approximation of a lambda (when running locally). Request & Response headers/cookies won't make it through that layer.

We have a number of known static assets/fetches that we can preload to more quickly finish loading all resources, and as we're prerendering, most of this can actually be kicked down to low priority;
fetch, by default, is high priority yet none of these are actually essential for first load.Unfortunately Chrome still doesn't support preloading SVG sprites, it'd duplicate the request which is just a net negative, but that'll be another good addition when they do.
There's some discrepancies between the live & preview envs (which I used to generate this), so not quite apples-to-apples, but not super far off either.
