Pull request #10974 introduces the @bitwarden/sdk-internal dependency which is needed to build the desktop client. The dependency contains a licence statement which contains the following clause:

You may not use this SDK to develop applications for use with software other than Bitwarden (including non-compatible implementations of Bitwarden) or to develop another SDK.

This violates freedom 0.

It is not possible to build desktop-v2024.10.0 (or, likely, current master) without removing this dependency.

That may or may not be the case, but the comment I replied to said they locked the thread with "no explanation".

I would say a proper explanation includes the goal you want to achieve, not just the statement that you think that you are allowed to do something.
