Review process

• We encourage you to create a draft PR first, even when your changes are incomplete. This way you refine your code while we can track your progress and actively review and help.
• If you think your draft PR is ready to be reviewed by the maintainers, click the corresponding button. Your draft PR will become a real PR.
• If your changes decrease the overall tests coverage (you will know after the Codecov CI job is done), you should add the required tests to fix the problem.
• Every time you make changes to the PR and you think the work is done, you should explicitly ask for a review. After receiving a "change request", address the feedback and click "request re-review" next to the reviewer's profile picture at the top right.

I see a minor visual regression on the feeds table in the column headings.

This is probably due to gb-ui, not a dealbreaker.

Yes, i have tested locally aswell and havent found any behavioral changes in any component.
Haven't had the time to go through the codebase of gb-ui yet 😅
For Greedybear, everything LGTM for now.
