+Automatic runs review both draft and non-draft pull requests and update one sticky **CodeBoarding review** comment. Opening, reopening, or pushing a commit runs analysis; changing only the draft state does not. A trusted repository owner, member, or collaborator can comment `/codeboarding` to analyze the current PR head again, including on fork PRs; every command creates a new result comment.
 
 `synchronize` re-runs the review on every push to the branch. Each of those runs covers only the commits pushed since the previous one, so a push costs a fraction of a first analysis — and a pushed commit is the only thing that builds the reusable analysis, since GitHub gives comment-triggered runs a read-only cache. Drop `synchronize` from the list if you would rather spend one analysis per pull request than one per push.
