docs(claude): note review-reply threading hygiene#6421
Merged
Conversation
When responding to PR review comments (Codex bot or human reviewers),
use the `replies` endpoint (`POST .../pulls/{pr}/comments/{id}/replies`)
or pass `in_reply_to_id` so the reply is **threaded under** the
original comment, not posted as a standalone inline comment at the
same line. Threaded replies show in the "Resolved conversations"
view; standalone inline comments don't. Verify via the GitHub API
that `in_reply_to_id` is set on your new comment.

Adds one entry to the Known Pitfalls table in
CLAUDE.md.I'd been replying to Codex review comments by posting new inline comments at the same line rather than as threaded replies under the original. They look similar in some views but are NOT the same — the reply chain is broken, and the "Resolved conversations" view doesn't roll them up together.
Correct technique with
gh:gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr}/comments/{codex_comment_id}/replies --input reply.jsonor pass
in_reply_to_idin the POST body topulls/{pr}/comments. Verify via the API thatin_reply_to_idis set on the new comment.Test plan
