Clickbait Pull Requests Get Approved

Description

A GitHub-style pull request list shows "0 Open" and "3 Closed" with filters for "Author", "Labels", "Projects", "Milestones", and "Reviews" across the top. Three merged, approved PRs are listed with sensational titles: "9 reasons why you should approve this pull request", "It was only meant to be a copy change. You won't believe what this developer did next!", and "This application was redirecting to the wrong url. The incredible solution this developer found will bring you to tears!" Each row shows a PR number, the author "thibautsacreste", a merge time, and "Approved" with a checkmark. The joke reframes code review as attention-economy marketing, where the fastest path through peer review is not a clean diff but a headline optimized for clicks.
