# 12.17.3

ReleasedReleased on July 31, 2023

**Bugfixes:**

-   Fixed an issue where unexpected branch names were being recorded for cypress runs when executed by GitHub Actions. The `HEAD` branch name will now be recorded by default for pull request workflows if a branch name cannot otherwise be detected from user overrides or from local git data. Fixes [#27389](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/27389).
    

**Performance:**

-   Fixed an issue where unnecessary requests were being paused. No longer sends `X-Cypress-Is-XHR-Or-Fetch` header and infers resource type off of the server pre-request object. Fixes [#26620](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/26620) and [#26622](https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/26622).
