In a follow-up post, GitHub says rendering a million-line diff is easy, but comments are hard because their heights vary with markdown wrapping, expanded details, open reply boxes and images still loading. GitHub says it rebuilt the PR view in the Copilot app to handle this variable comment height, and links a thread explaining the approach.
