[github-actions]

Welcome to career-ops, @mkriegl! Thanks for your first PR.

A few things to know:

• Tests run automatically, but on a first contribution they wait for a maintainer to approve the run: if it looks stuck, that queue is on us, not on you
• Link a related issue if this is a feature (bug fixes, providers, docs and translations need no issue)
• CONTRIBUTING.md has the specifics

We review every PR by hand. Join our Discord if anything blocks you.

Explanation

The reviewed commit author is mkriegl, not app/copilot-swe-agent. The review checkout contains only detached refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/head; it does not expose the pull-request source branch, and GitHub reports no branch or pull-request association for this commit. The supplied description does not contain ## AI assistance or ## Human review, and label metadata is unavailable. Therefore, the required copilot/* branch and agent-generated label conditions cannot be verified.
