1. Copilot rereviews close only comments already addressed

Copilot code review adds automatic resolution of its own comments when a later commit addresses the feedback and Copilot rereviews it. Feedback that remains outstanding stays open.

Proof: Comments are automatically resolved when a later commit addresses the underlying feedback.

Impact: The review agent uses Copilot SDK shell tools behind its firewall to validate changes. Automatic resolution is not a blanket dismissal of all comments or proof that every defect is fixed. GitHub also reports experiments with an ensemble in Lite reviews; those results are its own experiments, not a guarantee for each repository.

Watch next: Inspect the unresolved threads and test the actual change after rereview. Use the GitHub changelog to distinguish these review changes from a new review-request workflow; the existing request process stays the same.
