Copilot code review: An improved review experience

TL;DR

GitHub has shipped three upgrades to Copilot code review, now generally available. The overview comment groups findings into Open, Resolved and Previously Missed, and every review comment gets a short title. Copilot now auto-resolves its own comments more intelligently, respects your replies and records reasons such as Won't Fix or Incorrect. When you accept a batch of Copilot suggestions, it also writes a fitting commit title and description.

Nauti's Take

For teams with a heavy pull request load this is practical progress: the history of a review becomes traceable and settled comments close themselves. The risk sits in auto-resolve, since a valid objection can quietly disappear once Copilot closes its own comments.

Teams using Copilot code review daily benefit right away and should still spot-check resolved findings now and then.
