Describe the bug

I am trying out Automatic social account linking flow, while I am able to complete the flow, there are few nuances during the flow.

1. I already have a Kratos Identity (Username password).
2. On the login screen I initiate Sign in with GitHub (which has the same email address as used while creating the Kratos Identity)
3. After GitHub OAuth I get redirected to my Login page to enter my email and password.
   Bug 1: In the docs, it's mentioned I only need to enter my password, but I am asked to enter email address again.
   Bug 2: The message that get's displayed Signing in will link your account to \"<abc@gmail.com>\" at provider \"\". If you do not wish to link that account, please start a new login flow, it is missing the provider value. (Refer the JSON flow as recieved from the Kratos to render the login form).
   Bug 3: Why there's button for Sign in with github and link credential, when I initiated the flow by clicking on the Sign in with Github? Also clikcing on these buttons re-initiate the flow.
