GitHub's new pull-request view puts failing checks and merge blockers at the top

GitHub is rolling out an optional Overview page for pull requests. It groups failing checks, pending approvals, unresolved comments and merge readiness in one place, with filters and newest-first conversation sorting.

This is a small but real quality-of-life improvement when reviewing AI-generated code: the interface shows what is still blocking the merge instead of making you search through a long discussion.

What to do: Open a pull request in one of your repositories and look for the Try the Overview page control. Compare it with the classic view; the preview can be switched off.
