What is Chat With Reviewer?

A finding you disagree with is normally a dead end: dismiss it, or argue with a dashboard. Conversational review lets a developer ask why the tool flagged something and get reasoning back in the pull request thread.

It changes the interaction from verdict to discussion, which reduces the resentment that makes teams disable tools. It also gives the vendor a signal about which findings developers reject and why.
