GitHub Copilot Enhances Code Review Customization

GitHub's Copilot code review has introduced significant customization and configurability improvements, allowing developers and administrators more control over their review processes. By reading custom instructions from the head branch, teams can now test and iterate on instructions without merging them first. The introduction of a copilot-code-review.yml file enables configuration of the runtime environment, including dependency installation and runner setup. Additionally, Copilot code review now operates behind a configurable firewall, enhancing security by restricting network access during reviews. These changes make Copilot code review more adaptable to specific team needs and security requirements.
