Incremental reviews

What happens when you push follow-up commits.

When you push more commits to an open pull request, ReviewIQ re-reviews rather than starting from scratch, and edits its existing comment in place.

Platform differences — stated honestly

On GitHub, incremental review is real: the engine computes the commit range since the last review and looks only at what changed.

On GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure, a commit range isn't available the same way, so ReviewIQ performs a full review of the current diff. Finding de-duplication keeps the output stable, so you don't see the same issue re-raised, but it does consume a review from your quota.

Reviewed-commit marker

ReviewIQ records the reviewed commit SHA in its comment using an invisible markdown marker, so you can always tell which commit a review reflects without the marker cluttering the comment.
