BugBot v. Agent Review: Output differences

Describe the Bug

BugBot clearly identifies issues with my PR. Some I agree with, others I don’t. All in all, it is pretty nice.

Agent review run on the same PR returns “no issues found.”

I want the agent review output to match bugbot output. That would reduce cycles on my PR by a lot.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a code change that triggers a bugbot warning.
  2. Run agent review (probably no output)
  3. Push the PR and have bugbot review. Will get the warning.

Expected Behavior

Agent review output in IDE matches review comments in bugbot.

Operating System

MacOS
