Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the sync bot's branch and pull-request handling, then reproduce a sync with a partial review; done means synchronization no longer force-pushes over reviewed work and preserves the review context.

Description

Hi @iliakan

I discovered this in the Spanish repo,
but happens in the other repos too.
...

Previously, the bot used different branches for sync, closing the old PR and generating a new one over a new branch. Partial reviews were preserved in the closed PR.

Now, the bot closes the old PR but always uses the same branch, doing a force push on it that destroys any partial reviews.
