CodeAnt-AI Description

Automatically clear stale bot review blocks from pull requests

What Changed

  • Dismisses allow-listed bot CHANGES_REQUESTED reviews when they belong to an older commit, so new commits are no longer blocked by obsolete bot findings
  • Keeps current-head reviews, human reviews, non-allow-listed bots, approvals, and comments unchanged
  • Runs after new commits and submitted reviews, with configurable bot allowlists and dry-run support
  • Safely handles paginated reviews, head changes during processing, missing review data, and unconfirmed dismissal responses
  • Adds automated tests covering dismissal rules, pagination, dry runs, race conditions, configuration, and failed mutations

Impact

✅ Fewer pull requests blocked by stale bot reviews
✅ Human review decisions remain protected
✅ No accidental dismissal after a force-push
