Phase 4: Documentation & Validation

This PR completes Phase 4 of the Reply To Review Comments implementation, generating documentation and validating the complete implementation.

Changes in This Phase

Documentation Generation

• ✅ Generated README.md documentation for reply_to_review_comment tool using script/generate-docs
• ✅ Tool description: "Reply to a review comment"
• ✅ All parameters documented: owner, repo, pull_number, comment_id, body
• ✅ Documentation positioned correctly with other PR/review tools (after request_copilot_review)

Validation Results

• ✅ Linting: 0 issues (script/lint)
• ✅ Full test suite: All tests passed (script/test)
• ✅ License compliance: No issues (no new dependencies added)
• ✅ Documentation: Generated successfully and up-to-date

Implementation Summary Across All Phases

Phase 1: Core Tool Implementation

• Implemented ReplyToReviewComment function in pkg/github/pullrequests.go
• Uses client.PullRequests.CreateCommentInReplyTo REST API method
• Proper parameter validation with RequiredBigInt for int64 comment IDs
• Returns MinimalResponse with reply ID and URL

Phase 2: Toolset Integration

• Registered tool in pull_requests toolset as a write tool
• Positioned with other review-related tools in pkg/github/tools.go

Phase 3: Testing

• Comprehensive unit tests with 10 test cases covering success and error scenarios
• Toolsnap schema validation included
• All tests passing (404, 403, 422, parameter validation, type checking)
• E2E test evaluation: intentionally not added (unit tests provide sufficient coverage)

Phase 4: Documentation & Validation (this PR)

• Auto-generated README.md documentation
• All validation scripts passing

• Uses RequiredBigInt for int64 comment IDs (correct type handling)
• Returns MinimalResponse format consistent with other write operations
• Proper HTTP status checking (201 for success)
• Comprehensive error handling for all GitHub API error responses

Testing Strategy:

• E2E test was intentionally not added - unit tests with mocked HTTP responses provide comprehensive coverage without requiring PAT tokens
• All critical code paths tested (success, 404, 403, 422, parameter validation)
• Toolsnap ensures API schema stability across changes

Documentation:

• Auto-generated using script/generate-docs
• No manual intervention required
• Clear parameter descriptions for users

✅ Ready for Human Review

The Phase 4 implementation is complete and ready for final approval. All validation checks pass, documentation is up-to-date, and the code is production-ready.

The complete Reply To Review Comments feature (all 4 phases) is now implemented, tested, documented, and ready to merge after human review.
