From an outside review of the web UI. The finding is the complaint; the suggestion below is one way out, not a decision.

landing.html:10-13 shows mr-light.png / mr-dark.png: krz/gitbay !315, "runner: -cpus and -memory cap a build's container", closed without merging in favour of !313. The page is the Conversation tab, so there is no diff; reviews, reviewers and labels all read "none yet" or "nobody yet"; the one comment explains that the head is an ancestor of main with nothing to merge, and the other is about podman flags and cgroup limits.

A visitor's first picture of the product is a merge request that was abandoned, with the review machinery empty and the text requiring project knowledge to parse. There is no caption; the alt text promises "checks and reviewers on the right", and the reviewers panel is empty.

One option: shoot a merge request with understandable changes, a real review and passing checks, and put a short caption under it saying what is being shown. Capture is .claude/screenshots/ (shoot.py, local.sh), so a staged repository on a local instance can supply the content.
