You see them after you say `Y`, but that's a bit too late 😬 \n\n\u003cimg width=\"367\" height=\"116\" alt=\"Image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0958cc7e-03d2-441e-adf8-66a2038fdaa0\" /\u003e","author":{"url":"https://github.com/DavisVaughan","@type":"Person","name":"DavisVaughan"},"datePublished":"2026-07-02T19:09:03.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/162/gh-stack/issues/162"}
