## The brief

GitHub has introduced a public preview of REST endpoints for reading, adding and editing repository advisory comments on public repositories. Access requires advisory visibility and appropriate repository security advisory permissions or token scopes; non-collaborators cannot read internal comments, and confidential comments are excluded. Comment deletion remains unsupported. Repository advisory responses now report non-confidential comment counts, letting integrations check for discussion before retrieving it.
