You assign an issue to Copilot, and then a stakeholder adds new requirements in the issue comments. According to GitHub's guidance, where should you put the update so Copilot can act on it?

Question

Accepted Answer

GitHub specifically notes that later issue comments are not noticed, so updates should be added to the pull request Copilot raises. Option a will not reliably change the agent's task context.
