Acting on a pull request from its detail view

The PR detail view isn't just a read-only mirror of GitHub — every write action (comment, review, merge, close/reopen, draft toggle, branch update, and the reviewer/assignee/label editors) reaches a real GitHub round trip, not just local state.

Posting a comment on a pull request

Replying to a pull request writes a real comment straight to GitHub — no need to switch to the browser to keep the conversation going.
