From 586ed08d8d1257732683b64c6746bb48dd1099f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lily Shen <115414357+lilyshen0722@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 24 Oct 2026 02:50:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] docs(review): CodeRabbit threads can be answered in the thread The seat gh guard now allows one gh api write: an in-thread reply to a PR review comment. Document the exact six-argument form, note that an extra flag makes the guard refuse it (one seat hit this with --jq), and keep the single PR comment quoting discussion_r links as the fallback.
