Feedback applied

Temporary attribute exclusions (this diff only):

• T:System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.UnconditionalSuppressMessageAttribute — excluded per reviewer request to suppress attribute property typo corrections from the diff (Microsoft.Extensions.Identity.Stores). The change in that file was a Justification string typo fix ("annoated" → "annotated"), not a real API change.

Permanent exclusions added this run: None.

@jeffhandley The old workflow was to notify code owners with changes and ask them to check that the changes are correct. How is that going to work with this version?

[jeffhandley]

Previously, the worker created API-diff PRs as drafts and marked them Ready for Review only after the diff reached code-complete (when development had moved to the next major). It did not generate a review checklist or explicitly request the product and library-area owners; any reviewer requests followed the repository's normal CODEOWNERS behavior.

The new workflow changes retain that draft-to-ready transition and add a review checklist before the feedback section. It lists the repo owners and derives affected library-area owners from the live dotnet/runtime area-owners.md mapping. Existing open API-diff PRs will receive the revised body on their next daily run.

@jeffhandley It looks like the agent got confused about how to use safeoutputs and so the PR description was not updated:

Warning: ⚠️ report_incomplete: update_pull_request limit exhausted before body refresh
Details: The first update_pull_request call was sent without the body (title-only), consuming the 1-per-run limit. The second call with the full body (including the new generated_at watermark 2026-07-23T13:56:37Z and review checklist) was rejected. The PR body still shows generated_at: 2026-07-22T13:56:21Z, so the watermark was not advanced. The next scheduled run will re-enter this metadata-only path.

Though if this is a rare problem and tomorrow's run is going to be fine, this might not be worth addressing.
