# Auto-resolution and analysis updates in Copilot code review

**[GitHub Changelog](https://daily.dev/sources/github_updates)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Copilot code review now auto-resolves its own comments once a follow-up commit addresses the feedback, and generates smart commit messages when suggestions are applied. Behind the scenes, the review agent now uses the full set of shell tools from the Copilot SDK (running builds, tests, scripts) to validate code, and Lite-level reviews now use an ensemble of multiple agents instead of one. GitHub reports the shell-tool change increased high-severity findings and reduced nits, while the ensemble approach in Lite reviews boosted addressed high-severity comments by 47%, medium by 31%, low by 11%, while cutting review cost about 8%.

## Questions this post answers

### Does GitHub Copilot code review automatically resolve comments once I fix the issue?

Yes, Copilot code review now automatically resolves its own comments during rereview when a later commit addresses the underlying feedback. Comments that are still outstanding remain open, so only feedback that still needs attention stays visible in the pull request.

_Developers tracking Copilot code review changes can follow updates like this on daily.dev._

### What is the ensemble of agents feature in Copilot code review Lite effort level?

The Lite effort level in Copilot code review now uses multiple agents that each analyze the code independently, with their findings combined into a single review instead of relying on one agent. This raised addressed comments by 47% for high severity findings, 31% for medium, and 11% for low, while lowering review cost by about 8%.

_Teams evaluating AI code review quality and cost trade-offs can track shifts like this on daily.dev._

### How does Copilot code review validate code beyond just reading files?

Copilot code review now uses the full set of shell tools from the Copilot SDK, running behind the Copilot agent firewall, letting it run build commands, execute tests, run targeted scripts, and query available tools and APIs during review. Experiments showed this produced more high-severity findings and fewer nitpick comments.
