fix(cmd): remove duplicate doc comment and double blank line

Address sonnet-review feedback on PR #106:

- Document that the type assertion in supersedeOldReviews is guaranteed to
  succeed given the caller's provider switch, with the !ok branch guarding
  against future refactors (comment 18889).
- Clarify that vcsURL is only used in the Gitea path for constructing
  review permalink URLs (comment 18890).
- Add note explaining why the page-limit warning in ListReviews only fires
  when the final page is full, confirming the logic is intentional
  (comment 18891).

+- **Alias-aware depth:** Aliases increment depth and are re-checked when encountered at greater depths
 
-The `gopkg.in/yaml.v3` library does not have built-in depth protection, so we implement explicit depth checking by first decoding into a `yaml.Node`, walking the tree to verify depth (including alias resolution), then decoding into the target struct.
