Stacked on #30674, as its author asked in #30674 (comment). #30674's branch is in a fork, so this PR targets main and carries its commits; only the last commit, afac023e1e, is this change. I will rebase it onto main once #30674 lands.

Problem

With #30674 an edit wakes the agent once, after the comment stops changing. A bot that keeps rewriting one comment on the same head still wakes it once per rewrite, as long as each rewrite stays unchanged for one sweep.

CodeRabbit does this while a review is rate limited: it rewrites its walkthrough every few minutes with a countdown ("Or wait 57 minutes for your next included review"). Each rewrite is held, found unchanged on the next sweep, and delivered. On one watched merge request that produced 14 wakes in 86 minutes for the same summary comment on the same head, until the comment wake limit ended the watch. CI status comments that a runner rewrites per job behave the same way.

Change

A comment's edit is reported at most once per head.

• pullRequestWatch.ts: the watch records the remarks whose edit it reported on the current head (remarkEditsTold). A later edit of one of them is neither held nor reported until the head moves. A push clears the record, so the first edit after a push still wakes, and a bot that re-reviews a push by editing its summary is reported ([Bug]: watch_pull_request misses re-reviews from bots that edit their comment in place #15282). A comment new to the watch, and the first edit of any other comment, are unaffected.
• contracts/threadPullRequest.ts: optional remarkEditsTold on ThreadPullRequestWatch, so saved watches decode unchanged.
• PullRequestWatchReactor.ts: watchesEqual compares it, so the record is saved.
• Orchestrator.ts: watching again keeps it, like the check, conflict and held-edit state the last watch told.

Trade-off: a bot that edits findings into the same summary twice on one head is reported for the first edit only. Bots that post findings as new comments or reviews are unaffected.

Verification

• apps/server: vp test run src/orchestration-v2/pullRequestWatch.test.ts passes, 25 tests. The new case, "reports a remark's settled edit once per head, and again after a push", has a bot rewrite its summary four times on one head and expects one wake, then a second comment's first edit on that head, then a push and two more rewrites. Run against fix(server): a PR watch wakes once for a comment's edits, not on every edit #30674's head without this change, it fails (expected [ { kind: 'remarks', … } ] to deeply equal []): the second rewrite on the same head wakes the agent again.
• The existing fix(server): a PR watch wakes once for a comment's edits, not on every edit #30674 cases pass unchanged, including the held edit kept across a rewatch.
• vp fmt --check is clean on the changed files.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at afac023

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — PR watches now wait for comment edits to stabilize and report each comment’s edits once per head, reducing repeated agent wakeups. The change is confined to watch state, fresh reads, and notification wording.

Walkthrough

GitCafe comments now expose edit timestamps. Pull request watches hold edits until their timestamps remain unchanged across reads, then report edited comments. The watch reactor refreshes activity while edits are pending and preserves edit state when a watch restarts.

Changes: Remark edit detection

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Provide comment edit timestamps packages/source-control-gitcafe/src/server/gitCafePullRequestJson.ts, packages/source-control-gitcafe/src/server/gitCafePullRequestJson.test.ts	The GitCafe mapping sets editedAt when updatedAt is later than createdAt. Tests check the metadata on reply comments and its absence on root and silent comments.
Track and report settled edits packages/contracts/src/threadPullRequest.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/pullRequestWatch.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/pullRequestWatch.test.ts	Watch state tracks pending edits and reported remark IDs. The evaluator reports an edit after its timestamp remains unchanged across reads, distinguishes edited remarks from new remarks, and resets reported edits after a head change. Tests cover failed reads, restarts, repeated edits, and new remarks.
Refresh activity and preserve watch state apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/PullRequestWatchReactor.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/runtimeLayer.test.ts	The reactor reads activity and invalidates caches while edits are pending. New watches retain pending edits and reported remark IDs. Runtime tests cover unchanged fingerprints and paginated review-thread comments.

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: juliusmarminge

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to afac0

A bot's review summary edited around a push can be reported against the new head, and its genuine update on that head is then suppressed. The agent may act on the old review and miss the new one. This is a narrow timing case with a small fix; resolve it before merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: a PR watch now reports a comment's edit once per head. It follows the conventional commit format and matches the changeset, which adds per-head tracking of reported remark edits in the pull request watch logic.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It has a Problem section with a concrete reproduction (14 wakes in 86 minutes), a Change section that explains the per-head record and its trade-off, a Scope section that links the stacked base PR #30674 and states the bug-fix nature, and a Verification section with a focused test command, the pass count, and a failing-before check. The template's Verification guidance asks for tests and results, and this is met. The description does not name the model and harness used, but the template only asks for that when an agent was used, so it is not a required item here. The Scope section does not link an issue for this bug, but it links the request from the maintainer for the stacked PR, and the author explains why no issue is linked for the stacked change.

Discard pending confirmations when the head changes.

If an edit is held on head A and a push to head B occurs before confirmation, this lookup still contains head A's timestamp. An unchanged comment then enters edits and gets recorded in remarkEditsTold for head B. When the bot subsequently edits its summary for head B, that edit is suppressed. The agent receives the old review but misses the new review.

Clear previous-head pending edits when headMoved is true, including when remarks are unavailable. Extend the existing per-head test with a push between holding and confirming an edit.
