feat: skip re-posting when review is unchanged (preserve threads)

Before posting, compare the new review body+event against the existing review with the same sentinel. If identical, skip entirely — this preserves conversation threads on inline comments and avoids re-notifying reviewers for findings they already know about. Only re-posts when findings actually change (fixed, new, or different). Tests: 6 cases covering identical, different body, different state, stale reviews, and different sentinels.
