Summary

Two API endpoints now report daily coding-agent and code-review pull-request activity for each repository.

GitHub's usage metrics can now show pull requests created and merged by the coding agent plus review activity and suggestion types at repository level. Access remains restricted to authorized enterprise or organization roles and requires the metrics policy to be enabled. The release measures activity, not code quality or productivity on its own.
