Consolidate all review-related types, methods, and functions into
queries_pr_review.go for better code organization. The file is now
ordered by logical sections: review data types, review status, review
requests, reviewer candidates, API operations, and helpers.

Add a cleanup TODO comment above the GHES feature detection branch
in CreatePullRequest so we can track removing the ID-based reviewer
request path once GHES supports requestReviewsByLogin.

Mark the piggyback-on-open-PR technique for detecting Copilot
reviewer availability as a HACK, since there is no repo-level API
to check Copilot eligibility without a PR context.

Gate search-based reviewer selection on both state.ActorReviewers
and the search function being available, consistent with the
ActorAssignees pattern used for assignees.

Mark the legacy static MultiSelect reviewer path for cleanup once
GHES supports requestReviewsByLogin and search-based selection can
be used universally.

Team reviewers must be provided as fully qualified org/teamname.
Remove the /slug shorthand that auto-prefixed the repo owner,
as this format is not supported.

Mark the GHES ID-resolution branch in AddMetadataToIssueParams
for cleanup once GHES supports requestReviewsByLogin.

Wire CopilotReviewerReplacer into NewIssueState so that
`gh pr create --reviewer @copilot` correctly resolves to the
copilot-pull-request-reviewer bot login, matching the behavior
already implemented in gh pr edit.

Query the viewer login in SuggestedReviewerActorsForRepo and
pre-seed the seen map so the current user is filtered out of
collaborator results. You cannot review your own PR.

Use DefaultLogins instead of Default display names when calling
MultiSelectWithSearch for reviewers. The dedup logic in the
prompter compares keys (logins) against defaults, so passing
display names like 'mxie (Melissa Xie)' prevented deduplication
against search result keys like 'mxie'.

Add author { login } to the SuggestedReviewerActors GraphQL query
and pre-seed the seen map with the author login so they are excluded
from all sources (suggestions, collaborators, teams). Previously the
author was only skipped via the isAuthor flag in the suggestions loop
but could still appear as a collaborator.

Replace the top-level organization(login: $owner) query with
repository.owner { ... on Organization { teams } }. This uses
GraphQL inline fragments to conditionally fetch team data only
when the repo owner is an Organization, eliminating the need to
handle 'Could not resolve to an Organization' errors for
personal repos.

### Release Notes

<details>
<summary>cli/cli (cli/cli)</summary>

### [`v2.88.1`](https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/tag/v2.88.1): GitHub CLI 2.88.1

[Compare Source](cli/cli@v2.88.0...v2.88.1)

#### Fix `pr` commands failing with `read:project` scope error

v2.88.0 introduced a regression where `pr` commands would fail with the error:

```
error: your authentication token is missing required scopes [read:project]
To request it, run:  gh auth refresh -s read:project
```

Previously, missing read:project scope was gracefully handled, and project data was silently skipped. A change inadvertently broke the error matching that enabled this graceful degradation. v2.88.1 reverts these changes so that `pr` commands work correctly without requiring the `read:project` scope.

#### What's Changed

- Migrate Windows code signing from client secret to OIDC by [@&#8203;BagToad](https://github.com/BagToad) in [#&#8203;12911](cli/cli#12911)
- Revert "refactor: deduplicate scope error handling between api/client.go and project queries" by [@&#8203;williammartin](https://github.com/williammartin) in [#&#8203;12914](cli/cli#12914)
- Revert "fix: clarify scope error while creating issues for projects" by [@&#8203;williammartin](https://github.com/williammartin) in [#&#8203;12915](cli/cli#12915)

**Full Changelog**: <cli/cli@v2.88.0...v2.88.1>

### [`v2.88.0`](https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/tag/v2.88.0): GitHub CLI 2.88.0

[Compare Source](cli/cli@v2.87.3...v2.88.0)

#### :copilot: Request Copilot Code Review from `gh`

<img width="80%" height="80%" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c9b86700-5934-44b6-9210-227495a18d8e" />

`gh pr create` and `gh pr edit` now support [Copilot Code Review](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/using-github-copilot/code-review/using-copilot-code-review) as a reviewer. Request a review with `--add-reviewer @&#8203;copilot`, or select Copilot interactively from the searchable reviewer prompt.

Create a pull request and request review from Copilot:

```
gh pr create --reviewer @&#8203;copilot
```

Edit a pull request and request review from Copilot:

```
gh pr edit --add-reviewer @&#8203;copilot
```

#### Close issues as duplicates with `gh issue close --duplicate-of`

You can now close issues as duplicates and link to a duplicate issue directly from the CLI. The new `--duplicate-of` flag accepts an issue number or URL and marks the closed issue as a duplicate of the referenced one. You can also use `--reason duplicate` to set the close reason without linking a specific issue.

```

# Close as duplicate, linking to the original issue
gh issue close 123 --duplicate-of 456

# Close with duplicate reason only
gh issue close 123 --reason duplicate
```

#### JSON support for `gh agent-task`

`gh agent-task list` and `gh agent-task view` now support `--json`, `--jq`, and `--template` flags, consistent with other `gh` commands.

```
gh agent-task list --json id,name,state
gh agent-task view <id> --json state --jq '.state'
```
