GitHub Copilot code review now automatically resolves its own comments when a later commit addresses the feedback, and generates smart commit messages when a suggestion is applied. The review agent now uses the full set of shell tools from the Copilot SDK to validate code, and the Lite effort level uses an ensemble of agents to produce more thorough reviews at lower cost.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://github.blog/changelog/2026-09-11-auto-resolution-and-analysis-updates-in-copilot-code-review:

> Copilot code review now resolves its own comments once you address them and writes smart commit messages for you when you apply its code suggestions. Behind the scenes, Copilot now uses a broader set of shell tools to validate the code it reviews, and an ensemble of agents produce a more thorough review within the Lite effort level.
