🔵 Needs a closer look
A maintainer should confirm the broadened submission scope before changes to the canonical code-review policy and both boards’ repository-fit criteria are merged.

What changed in this PR
Broadens both review boards’ guidance to assess Copilot-supported multimodal workflows while preserving independent quality checks. Also improves handling of GitHub HTTP 422 decision failures.
Changes:
- Clarifies that non-coding use or modality alone does not justify rejection.
- Retains checks for user value, provenance, duplication, vendor funnels, responsible use, and appropriate validation.
- Adds actionable HTTP 422 notices and regression tests for the updated behavior and guidance.

| Evaluate concrete Copilot relevance and specific standalone user value across supported workflows, not only coding or text-based developer tasks. Image, video, audio, other media-generation, and creative work may be in scope where applicable; modality or non-coding use alone is not a rejection reason. Assess knowledge uplift, provenance, product/vendor-funnel evidence, responsible use, and validation appropriate to the workflow. Preserve rejection of marketing-only funnels, paid or credit-based acquisition paths without standalone user value, duplicates of native Copilot features, and generic content with no meaningful uplift. |

Pull Request Checklist
npm startand verified thatREADME.mdis up to date.mainbranch for this pull request.Description
Broaden the Open PR Board and External Plugin Review Board guidance so reviewers assess Copilot workflows across coding and non-coding modalities, including image, video, audio, and creative work. Clarify that modality alone is not grounds for rejection, while retaining independent checks for user value, knowledge uplift, vendor funnels, provenance, native-feature duplication, responsible use, and workflow-appropriate validation.
Also show an actionable notice for GitHub CLI HTTP 422 decision failures rather than offering an opaque error for agent handoff.
