    It looks like the pull requests were authored by humans, then edited by the bot. I use codeberg, not github, so I'm not that familiar with the service. Does github have some kind of opt-in/opt-out llm editor feature, or is the bot just going around editing random pull requests?

    I believe that it happened, but I'm not yet convinced it wasn't some sort of bug. But I want to believe!

    No, so it's still just github copilot code review (bot). https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/concepts/agents/code-review#introduction

    Which is embedding this link of Raycast. Meaning Raycast is paying Microsoft for sure to get included in the bot comments or pr descriptions.
